The public catalog and requests

A page where borrowers see what you lend out, and book or send requests themselves.

Turn it on

1. Go to Settings → Organization and tick Turn on the catalog under Public catalog. Only the owner can do this.
2. On each item you want to show, press Edit and choose Self-service or Request under Lending.
3. Share the catalog’s link, for example on your website or in a newsletter.

The catalog is only reachable through its link and isn’t shown in search engines. Who has borrowed what is never shown there. If the link has spread to the wrong people, choose Create a new address, and the old one stops working.

What the borrower does

They pick something, choose dates and enter their name and email address. We send a link to confirm, and nothing is booked until they click it.

• Self-service: the booking is done as soon as it is confirmed.
• Request: the request lands with you, and you approve or decline it.

Answering requests

Go to Bookings → Requests, open the request and press Approve or Decline. You can add a message, and the person is told by email.
