The Rental Block is purpose-built for short and medium-term rentals — bikes, kayaks, photography gear, scooters, classic cars, dance studios, photography studios, podcast studios. Visitors pick a date range or hourly slot, see live availability and pricing that scales by duration, and pay (deposit or full amount) on the spot. Where the Booking Block focuses on overnight stays, the Rental Block focuses on by-the-hour or by-the-day usage with the rental items themselves as the inventory you're tracking.

Use cases

Concrete patterns we see UniLink creators apply most. Pick the closest to your situation as a starting point.

Bike, scooter, and kayak rentals

Tourist-area rental shops — visitors browse available equipment, pick rental duration (1 hour, 4 hours, all day), pay upfront, and pick up at your location with the confirmation email as proof. The Rental Block tracks per-unit availability so you never overbook a specific bike or kayak.

Photography and video gear rental

Camera bodies, lenses, lighting, drones — for renters who need pro gear without buying. Tiered pricing (4-hour, day, weekend, week) lets you maximize utilization. Deposits ensure renters return gear in working condition; UniLink can charge the difference automatically if anything is missing or damaged.

Studio and venue rentals

Photo studios, music rehearsal rooms, podcast studios, dance studios, event venues — sell time blocks with optional add-ons (extra equipment, sound engineer, parking). Buffers between rentals give you turnover time without manual juggling.

Vehicle rentals

Classic cars for weddings, vans for moves, RVs for road trips, scooters for tourists. The Rental Block handles licensed vs unlicensed driver questions in the intake form, deposit holds, and per-day mileage limits — replacing what would be a complex dedicated rental platform.

How to add this block

From marketplace install to live on your link in bio. Each step takes seconds; the writing is what takes time.

  1. 1

    Add the block from the marketplace

    Open your UniLink dashboard, pick the page you want to sell on, and add the block from the marketplace. It appears empty so you can populate it with your own products or offers.

  2. 2

    Connect your payment provider

    UniLink supports Stripe, PayPal, WayForPay, and Fondy. Connect at least one in Settings → Payments so the block can collect money. Without this step the block is preview-only.

  3. 3

    Add product details that sell

    For each item, write a short outcome-led title, a benefit-led description, set the price, and upload at least one photo. Photos drive ~60% of conversion on link-in-bio commerce — invest in them.

  4. 4

    Set inventory and shipping rules

    If you ship physical goods, define shipping zones and rates. For digital and service products, mark them as "no shipping required" so the checkout skips the address step.

  5. 5

    Publish and watch the dashboard

    Hit publish and the block goes live. UniLink Analytics shows views, add-to-cart events, and revenue per product so you can iterate on what converts and what does not.

Best practices that move the needle

Small changes in writing or curation that consistently improve conversion.

One hero offer per block

Visitors decide in seconds. Lead with your strongest offer — bestseller, new launch, or biggest discount — and let the rest support it. A wall of equal items competes with itself.

Real photos beat stock every time

Phone-shot product photos out-convert generic stock images by 2-3x on link-in-bio. Visitors trust what looks real. Avoid stock unless you sell stock photography.

Price clearly, no hidden costs

List the all-in price including taxes where the law allows. Surprise costs at checkout are the #1 reason visitors abandon link-in-bio carts.

Test offers monthly

Rotate which offer leads the block every month. Track which version drives the highest revenue per visitor in Analytics. Stale offers go stale fast on social.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Rental Block in a link in bio?

A Rental Block is a reservation widget purpose-built for renting items or spaces by the hour, day, or week. Visitors pick a date or time range, see live availability and pricing that scales with duration, optionally choose add-ons, pay a deposit or full amount, and the rental lands in your dashboard with a confirmation email out the door.

How is it different from the Booking Block?

The Booking Block focuses on overnight stays and date-range reservations (vacation rentals, hotels). The Rental Block focuses on hourly and by-the-day equipment or space rentals (bikes, gear, studios). Both share underlying logic, but pricing patterns, availability windows, and intake questions differ. Use Rental for "rent the bike for 4 hours"; use Booking for "stay in the apartment for 3 nights".

Can I track per-unit availability?

Yes. If you have 5 of the same bike, list 5 individual units and the block prevents booking the same unit twice. For interchangeable items (e.g., 10 identical kayaks), list as a single product with a quantity of 10, and the block tracks remaining count rather than individual units. Either model works depending on what makes sense for the item.

How do deposits and damage charges work?

In block settings, set a deposit (e.g., 25% of rental price) charged at booking, with the remainder either charged on pickup or held as a security deposit. For damage charges after rental, you can manually charge the saved card via the dashboard up to a configurable limit.

Can rental prices vary by duration?

Yes. Common pricing patterns: hourly base ($15/hour), discounted longer durations ($50 for 4 hours, $80 for full day, $300 for week). The Rental Block calculates the price automatically from duration; visitors see the all-in cost before paying. Tiered duration pricing is the standard pattern in rental businesses.

Can I require liability waivers or licenses?

Yes. Add required intake fields for license number, age verification, or waiver acknowledgment. The Rental Block stores responses with the booking record. For some rentals (vehicles, equipment with safety implications), this protects you legally; check local regulations for what your specific business needs to collect.

Is the Rental Block free on UniLink?

Basic rental functionality is included on free plans. PRO plans add advanced features like per-unit inventory tracking, automatic damage-charge processing, and waiver storage with timestamps for legal compliance. For early-stage rental businesses with limited inventory, the free tier is enough to start.
