Adding rates to your products makes OnRent quick and easy to maintain your price lists and add default pricing instantly to orders!
Once you have added your Product Groups, Products and Stock Levels; we can apply default prices or customer specific prices to your Products for these prices to be automatically applied to an order when the Product is added to it.
To add a Rate to a Product, navigate to your Product overview screen (Products & Services > Products).
Select the Rates tab, this area will list all of the Rates applied to that Product, if you have multiple rates for a Product you will be able to see them listed here allowing the editing and updating of them.
Add Some Rates

FAQs
Can I overwrite the rate when the product has been added to an order?
Yes, these prices are only defaults which means you can change the price however you want when you add it to an order.
Will this rate apply to any items I create in future?
Yes, when you apply a rate to a product, any stock items you create for this will inherit the price.
If I have both a default rate and a customer specific rate, what takes priority?
The customer specific price will take priority for that rate definition and so their price will appear by default rather than the product’s usual price.
