Ski rental software for sizes, seasons and fittings
Skis by length and boots by size, each its own stock. Peak-week prices, same-day turnaround, and heights, weights and waivers collected before the fitting desk. Built for WooCommerce and Magento 2.
Every length and boot size as its own stock, peak-week prices, and fitting details taken at booking.
- Sizes and lengths as stock
- Peak-season pricing
- Fitted from booking details
A year of trade in a few months, and every item comes in sizes
Sports rental compresses the year into a season, and the stock is sized: a 158 cm board isn’t a 165 cm board, and a size 42 boot won’t do for a size 45 foot.
Size and length are stock
Skis by length, boots and helmets by size, wetsuits by height and chest, bikes by frame. A booking is only real if the right size is free on the right day.
Each size has its own stock.
A season that prices like a season
Half-term, the first good snow week and a holiday weekend don’t cost what a wet Tuesday in November does.
Peak weeks priced as peak weeks.
Same-day turnaround
Skis come back for a wax and an edge, wetsuits need to dry and kayaks need rinsing before the afternoon hire.
Waxed and dried before it goes again.
Groups and families
A family of five taking skis, boots, poles and helmets for six days is one order drawing down twenty pieces of stock across sizes.
One order, everyone’s sizes.
A hire is a fitting
Height, weight, boot size, age and ability set the bindings, and taking them at the counter is what makes the morning queue.
Fitting details at booking.
The weather closes the mountain
When the lifts or the lake close, the day has to come off sale with a reason customers can see.
Closed days, with the reason shown.
Sizes and lengths as real stock, not a dropdown
A ski in five lengths or a boot in fourteen sizes is one product with variations, and each size holds its own availability and, if you want, its own price. The calendar can tell a customer their 27.5 boot is gone for their dates while a 28 is free, instead of showing one stock number.
Helmets and buoyancy aids run S, M and L, wetsuits by height and chest, snowboards by length. Booking by size turns the morning queue into a collection line, and each ski and board can carry a serial number to scan out and back in at the fitting desk.
Day, week and peak-season rates, and packages for groups
| Package | 1 day | 1 week |
|---|---|---|
| Adult ski package | $38.00 | $190.00 |
| Kids’ ski package | $24.00 | $120.00 |
| Snowboard package | $40.00 | $200.00 |
| Touring kayak | $55.00 | $260.00 |
Each package carries daily and weekly rates at once, and the engine picks the rate from the dates chosen; multi-day discounts are length-based rules. Special pricing attaches to date ranges, so half-term and holiday weeks carry their own rates without a second catalogue, and a two-hour paddleboard hire sits in the same catalogue as a seven-day ski package.
A family or group books everyone’s kit in one order. Packages built with WooCommerce Product Bundles or Composite Products still draw each ski, boot and helmet from its own stock, season passes can be sold as subscriptions Pro, and when the lifts close you mark the day closed with a reason and it comes off sale.
Height, weight and ability for every set of bindings
With the Custom Fields plugin Pro you ask per skier, on the product page: height, weight, boot size, age, ability from first-timer to expert, and stance for snowboarders. A family of four hiring four sets of skis records four sets of measurements on four lines, and a required field blocks add-to-cart, so no booking reaches the workshop without the weight that sets the binding.
Priced fields carry the upgrades on your counter price list, such as performance skis, a helmet, boot fitting, delivery to the chalet or an out-of-hours collection, and they charge per item, so four helmets cost four times one. Paddlers can give their weight, experience and wetsuit size the same way. About ski and snowboard custom fields.
Waivers, deposits and upgrades in one checkout
Helmets, performance upgrades, boot fitting and delivery to the hotel or chalet go on the same order as priced options Pro, charged per item, and the waiver is signed before anyone reaches the shop.
- Helmet
- Performance skis
- Boot fitting
- Goggles
- Chalet delivery
- Out-of-hours collection
- Season pass
Deposits, or a card on file
Charge a deposit with the hire and return it after check-in, or keep the card as a secure token and charge it only if a board comes back with a core shot. Easier on a customer who is already paying for lift passes.
Waivers signed before arrival
The hire agreement or waiver is generated from the booking and signed online, then stored as a PDF against the order, so the paperwork is done before anyone reaches the counter.
Sizes, ability and a damage waiver
Height, weight, boot size, age and ability per skier, priced upgrades, and a decline-able damage and theft waiver, fixed or a percentage per item, with the customer’s choice recorded on the order.
Pro included in Rentals & Bookings Pro, or sold on its own. Everything else here comes with Regular.
Start from a store that already looks like a ski and outdoor shop

Ski and sporting equipment rental software FAQs
Can I hold stock by size and length?
Yes. Build the item as a variable product and every size, length or grade holds its own availability. The calendar can tell a customer that a 27.5 boot is gone for their dates while a 28 is free, instead of showing one stock number.
Can I charge more in peak season?
Yes. Special pricing attaches to date ranges, so half-term, holiday weeks and peak snow weeks carry their own rates without a second catalogue.
Can I turn equipment around the same day?
Yes. Turnaround buffers are set in hours as well as days, so a morning hire can go out again in the afternoon, while anything that needs a wax, an edge or a dry-out stays off the calendar for as long as you set.
Can a family or group book everything in one order?
Yes. Everyone’s sizes go on one order, and packages built with WooCommerce Product Bundles or Composite Products still draw each component from its own stock, so nothing inside a package can be double-booked.
Can I take height, weight and ability at booking?
Yes, with the Custom Fields plugin in Pro. The questions sit on the product page and belong to each line, so every skier on a family order has their own measurements, and required fields block add-to-cart until they’re answered.
Can customers sign a waiver before they arrive?
Yes. With the Contract Signing plugin in Pro the waiver or hire agreement is generated from the booking, signed online and stored as a PDF with the order.
Is there free ski rental software?
Our Rentals & Bookings Lite plugin is free: a booking calendar, quantity stock and guests, with no time limit. Serials, seasonal pricing and the Send & Return desk come with Regular, a one-time purchase, and WordPress and WooCommerce themselves are free.
Do you take a percentage of each booking?
No. There’s no booking fee and no commission; you pay only your payment gateway’s normal card rate. See how that compares in our rental software alternatives round-up and our self-hosted, open-source rental software overview.
