Watch and jewelry rental software for one-of-a-kind pieces
Every watch and piece tracked by serial number, the client’s ID checked and a deposit held before it ships, and the insured transit days held off sale. Built for WooCommerce and Magento 2.
Every piece tracked by serial, ID checked and a deposit held before it ships.
- One serial per piece
- ID checks and deposits
- Insured transit buffers
There’s exactly one of each piece, and it’s worth more than the hire
When a single piece on hire is worth more than a month of rentals, roughly available isn’t good enough, and neither is a handshake on the deposit.
One of a kind
There’s no stock level for a specific watch: there’s that watch, with a serial number, a reference and a diary of its own.
Every piece has its own record.
Condition in both directions
A scratch that arrives with the piece and a scratch that arrives back are very different conversations, so condition notes belong on the piece’s record.
Condition notes on every return.
Who the client is
A single piece can walk out on the strength of a name and a card that clears. The ID check belongs at checkout, before anything is dispatched.
ID checked before dispatch.
Value at risk
The value at risk on any day dwarfs the hire fee, so a deposit or a card on file and a signed agreement on liability and insurance are the norm.
Deposits sized to the piece.
Insured transit
Most rentals are built around one event and a courier movement at each end, and the piece can’t be promised to anyone while it’s in a security bag.
Transit days held off sale.
Discretion
Client lists, ID documents and hire history are the business, and they belong on your own server, not on a marketplace.
Client records stay yours.
Every watch and piece tracked as an individual
Each watch and piece is tracked by its serial or reference number, with its own rental history, so you always know which item is where, who has it and when it’s due back. Condition notes recorded when it comes back sit on the same record as the hire.
Rent a piece or sell it outright from the same catalogue, and let clients filter by metal, stone, carat, brand, size and price like any WooCommerce shop. The Send & Return desk lists each day’s courier movements, and every piece is scanned out and back in.
Fixed rental lengths around the event
| Rental | Price | Works out |
|---|---|---|
| 4 days | $79.00 | $19.75 / day |
| 8 days | $119.00 | $14.88 / day |
Offer the lengths you actually rent for, such as 4 or 8 days, at a fixed price each, or day and week rates with special prices on peak dates. The client picks a start date and the return date follows.
Padding before and after the rental covers insured transit and the check-in inspection, so a piece in a security bag is never offered to a second client. If the event moves, the client extends from My Account, priced from your rates.
Identity verified before a piece leaves the safe
The client uploads a passport, driving licence or national ID at checkout, and each upload is approved or rejected from a queue, so dispatch waits on a decision made by a person rather than a file simply being there. Documents are kept out of the public uploads folder and purged on a schedule Pro.
Alongside the deposit, a loss and damage waiver can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the rental, required on some pieces and optional on others, with the client’s choice recorded on the order. About ID verification and a damage waiver.
ID, deposits and signed agreements in one checkout
Fields asked on the product page belong to that cart line, so every piece on an order carries its own size, occasion and insurance details.
- Photo ID
- Proof of address
- Insurance details
- Ring or wrist size
- Occasion
- Insured courier
- Fitting appointment
Refundable deposits or a card on file
Charge a deposit at checkout and release it on return, or store the card as a secure token and charge it only if the piece comes back damaged, late or not at all. Card numbers, expiry dates and security codes never touch your server.
Signed hire agreements
The agreement on liability, insurance, the declared value and the return date is signed online before anything ships, with a consent checkbox, an audit trail and a certificate page. Starting from scratch? See our free rental contract templates.
Sizes, insurance and delivery options
Ask for the wrist, ring or neck size, the occasion and the insurance details, and price an insured courier or a second fitting as options on the line.
A monthly rotation
Offer a membership that rotates a piece each month: the client keeps a queue, and the next piece ships when one comes back.
Several showrooms
With the Multi Location Inventory plugin, each showroom keeps its own pieces and the client picks where to collect.
Courier movements
The Send & Return desk lists each day’s dispatches and returns as a pick list, and reminders go out by email, SMS or WhatsApp before the piece is due back.
Pro included in Rentals & Bookings Pro, or sold on its own. Multi Location Inventory plugin sold on its own or in the Pro + Multi Location Inventory package. Everything else here comes with Regular.

Watch and jewelry rental software questions
Can I track each individual piece rather than a stock count?
Yes. Serial-number tracking gives every watch or piece its own identity, rental history and notes, which is what you need when there’s exactly one of each.
Can I record the condition of a piece?
Yes. Each serialised piece carries condition notes recorded on return and a full history against every order, on the same record as the hire.
Can I hold a large deposit or a card on file?
Yes, with the Security Deposits plugin in Pro. Charge the deposit at checkout and release it on return, or store the client’s card as a token and charge it only if the piece comes back damaged, late or missing.
Can I check a client’s ID before a piece ships?
Yes, with the Custom Fields plugin in Pro. The client uploads a photo ID at checkout and you approve or reject it from a queue before dispatch.
Can I get a signed hire agreement before the piece ships?
Yes. The Contract Signing plugin in Pro has the client sign your agreement online at checkout, and the PDF is stored against the order with a consent checkbox and an audit trail.
Can I block out insured transit time at each end?
Yes. Padding before and after the rental holds those days out of availability, so a piece in transit or awaiting inspection is never offered to another client.
Do you take a percentage of each rental?
No. It installs on your own WooCommerce or Magento 2 site on a one-time licence, with no commission on your bookings; you pay only your payment gateway’s normal card fees. See our self-hosted, open-source rental software overview.
