Running the business

The booking dashboard

Every rental booking in one view, filtered by status, so you can see what is going out, what is due back and what is overdue.

The Miko Product Rentals dashboard gives you a complete view of every rental booking in one place, with filtering by status and product so you can focus on what needs attention right now.

Where to find it

In your Shopify admin, open Apps → Miko Product Rentals and choose Bookings. The Calendar page shows the same bookings by month, and the Dashboard gives a summary.

How to set it up

There is nothing to switch on: every rental order appears here automatically. To work through it:

  1. Filter the list

    Choose a status filter such as Overdue or Needs review, or pick one product from the product filter.
  2. Search

    Search by customer name, email, or order number.
  3. Open a booking

    Click a booking to see its details and the actions available for it.
  4. Recover a missing booking

    If an order came in but its booking is missing, click Sync from Shopify. It checks recent orders and creates bookings for any that were missed.

Available actions per booking

  • Mark as started (item handed over): move the booking to Out on rental
  • Mark as returned: move the booking to Returned status, and refund a held deposit
  • Refund [amount] to customer: refund the deposit to the customer
  • Mark forfeited (keep deposit): retain the deposit (no refund)
  • Record late fee: record a late fee against an overdue booking and prepare a draft order for it
  • Mark as overdue and Cancel booking
  • Email customer and private Internal notes

Booking statuses

StatusWhat it means
Pending paymentThe order has been placed but payment has not been captured yet, for example a bank transfer or cash on delivery order. The dates are already held.
ConfirmedBooking has been paid for but the rental period has not yet started. The customer's dates are reserved.
Out on rentalThe rental period is currently in progress. The item is out with the customer.
OverdueThe rental end date has passed and the item has not been marked as returned. Requires follow-up.
ReturnedThe item has been marked as returned via the dashboard. Deposit has been released or forfeited.
Needs reviewThe order would overbook the item, or the customer paid for more units than they booked. The booking still holds units until you resolve it.
CanceledThe booking or its Shopify order was cancelled, and the dates are free again.

Booking record details

For each booking, the list shows the customer, order, product, rental start date, return date, duration, amount charged and current status. Open a booking to see the rental fee, deposit amount, total charged at checkout, any late fee, the deposit status and the available actions.

CSV export

There is no CSV export of bookings in the app at the moment. Each booking links to its Shopify order, so you can use Shopify's own order export for reconciliation or accounting.
