START WITH YOUR BUSINESS

Two options. Different priorities.

Consider FlexCon if…

Customers need to book an in-store try-on before renting.
You want rent, buy and try-on options around the same product.
Manual rentals through POS are part of your daily workflow.

Consider Rentshelf if…

Your focus is rental bookings, handoffs and return tracking.
You want a $9.99 entry plan before moving to Growth.
Your growing catalog needs CSV import and multiple locations.

FlexCon is a particularly relevant option for fashion merchants who need try-on appointments. For Rentshelf, evaluate the catalog and location workflow. The $19.99 plans share a price but measure their limits differently, so they are not interchangeable.

How much does Rentshelf cost?

Can I move from FlexCon to Rentshelf?
