What a starter pack adds, and what it leaves to you
A pack fills your store with a working example. The parts that are only yours stay with you.
You set up yourself
- Pages such as About, Contact and your policies
- Menus: add the new collections to the ones you have
- Opening hours and closed days
- Delivery settings, if you deliver
- Deposit, waiver, custom field and quote settings
After every import, the report lists your next steps, each with a link.
A starter pack adds
- Sample rental products with photos, descriptions, prices and rental settings
- How each one is rented, by the hour, day, night, fixed length or set departure, with its units
- A collection for each category, plus one with every product in the pack
- Words and photos for the Rental homepage block: banner, categories, how it works, highlights and questions
- The pack’s calendar look, if you tick it
Try a pack on your real store
A starter pack only adds things, and you can take them away again.
Drafts first
Only you see the products until you make them active. On a store that already has orders, they always come in as drafts.
Your products stay yours
If your store already uses a product’s or collection’s web address, the starter pack leaves it alone.
Your theme stays yours
The homepage is an app block you add in the theme editor. It uses your theme’s fonts, and you can remove it at any time.
A report after every import
What was added, what was left alone and what is left to do by hand, each with a link.
Remove it again
Takes away the products, collections and homepage words nobody changed. Anything you edited, or with bookings or orders, stays.
Works with your theme
The products and the booking calendar work with every theme. The homepage block needs an Online Store 2.0 theme.
Questions about the starter packs
What is an industry starter pack?
A set of sample rental products for one kind of business, with photos, descriptions, prices and rental settings, plus collections and the words and photos for a homepage. You add it from the Rentals & Bookings app and change it into your own.
Does it cost anything?
No. Starter packs are free on every plan of SI Rentals & Bookings, the Free plan included.
Will it change my theme?
No. Your theme stays as it is. The homepage is an app block, Rental homepage, that you add in the theme editor and can remove at any time. It uses your theme’s fonts.
Can customers see the sample products straight away?
Only if you add them as live products. They come in as drafts by default, and always as drafts on a store that already has orders.
Will it overwrite my own products?
No. If your store already uses a product’s or collection’s web address, the starter pack leaves it alone and the report lists it.
How do I take it out again?
Click Remove this starter pack in the import report. It removes the products, collections and homepage words nobody changed. Products you edited, and products with bookings or orders, stay.
Does it work with my theme?
The products and the booking calendar work with every theme. The homepage block needs an Online Store 2.0 theme.
Can I add more than one?
Yes, one at a time. Only one starter pack’s homepage words show at a time, so adding another asks whether to replace them.
