Your system needs to have a simplified way to add slots to sell services on rent. Thus, with booking commerce, You can select the booking type as <strong>rent type<\/strong> or<strong> rent type with time <\/strong>and add services for rent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now, the question is how to use these two booking types in different booking scenarios??<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let&#8217;s understand it with examples.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In case, you want to offer a <strong>venue booking service<\/strong>, you can allow customers to book the venue on any selected date range. For this, you need to choose rent type booking &amp; create slots irrespective of the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Secondly, if you are offering<strong> cars or bikes on rent<\/strong>, you need to choose the booking type as rent type with time through which you can allow your customers to choose a start date &amp; time as well as an end date &amp; time to rent the service.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>2. Service Location Preferences<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you offer any rental booking services, service location matters a lot. Service location is the place where service will be provided. So, with booking commerce, you will also have this privilege to select whether the service will be provided at your pre-defined location or the customer will avail the service at their preferred location.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>3. Embed Booking Widget<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Booking Widget plays a very crucial role in the whole booking process. A highly customized booking widget attracts potential customers to visit your website and let the customers explore your brand &amp; rent the services.<\/p>\n<p>As booking commerce is integrated with WordPress as well, you can integrate <strong>Book Now widget <\/strong>or <strong>Booking iframe <\/strong>to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookingcommerce.com\/en\/wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WordPress<\/a> website. This can be done simply by adding the .js or iframe version code to the page where you want the widget to appear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1554 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bookingcommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-44.png\" alt=\"Booking commerce widget\" width=\"1056\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bookingcommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-44.png 1056w, https:\/\/www.bookingcommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-44-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bookingcommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-44-768x316.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bookingcommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-44-1024x421.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1056px) 100vw, 1056px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">4.
