📦 Creating a New Inventory Item
Your inventory is the heart of your rental business — and setting it up in Flecto is super straightforward (with a little AI magic to help).
Whether you're adding your first product or your hundredth, here’s everything you need to know to get it right from the start.
🧠 Properties
Start with the basics — we’ll handle the heavy lifting.
Item title: Just add the name.
Flecto's AI will auto-fill the rest (description, address, and images) - Yes, it’s that easy!
Category: You can choose your own custom category.
Image check: Always double-check the AI-generated image to make sure it matches your actual item. You can also upload your own.
💰 Pricing
Get your pricing strategy in place with a few quick settings.
🧾 Taxable Product
Taxes will be auto-applied based on your account settings.
But if needed, you can override them per item. You can always reset to the default tax ret set in your account.
📊 Rentals Up To
Set prices that make sense for your business. Enter your tax-inclusive price and choose between:
Price per day
Price per hour
Then click on ‘+Add row’ to keep adding your prices according to your pricing strategy.
⏱️ Overtime Charge
Flecto gives you two flexible options to charge for periods longer than the maximum interval set in the previous step.
Charge minimum interval: Automatically calculated by multiplying the smallest billing interval.
Customize rule: Set your own rate per extra hour or per extra day.
🏦 Other Settings
Add a deposit if needed — it will apply regardless of rental duration.
