Lending shop
Your public lending shop with its own address and in your colours: visitors choose their period, instantly see what’s available then and send a request — you turn it into a loan with one click.
30 transactions per month and 50 inventory items for free
For your visitors
Look through items by category — with image, description and, if you like, the attributes. For the chosen period the shop shows what’s available; if something is taken, it suggests the next free period.
Collect the items and quantities you want, set the “from/to” period and choose pick-up or delivery.
Enter contact details, confirm the consents, send. Once the email address is confirmed, the request reaches you — the person receives the request ID and a pick-up QR code by email.
Alternative
You only lend individual pieces? Then switch off the basket — requests are then made directly per item. If holds are active, visitors can put themselves on the waiting list for items that are taken with „Benachrichtigen, wenn verfügbar“ (Notify me when available).
For you
All requests are collected in depositoo.
For every new request your team receives an email with a direct link — and further recipients if you wish. The bell lights up too, and in future the app will also show it as a notification on your device.
Requests are reservations with a period. depositoo checks availability for exactly that period, shows overlaps and rules out double bookings.
Reply by email — with reply templates that automatically insert the name of the person who made the request.
Answered, accepted, declined, follow-up question, transaction created, expired or cancelled: you can always see where each request stands. Reservations that aren’t picked up expire after the pick-up deadline.
At pick-up you scan the QR code from the email or enter the request ID. The loan transaction is already filled in with contact, company, address, items and due date.
For each shop you decide: pick-up only, delivery only or both — with a delivery address and a note on hand-out and return.
Confirmations and reminders to your customers carry your name, your logo and your colours. Replies go straight to you.
With the request ID and email address, the person can see the status of their request and cancel it themselves — the items are free again immediately.
Don’t show, image with name and description, or the attributes as well — you decide for each item.
Legal & design
Legal notice, lending terms, privacy policy, cancellation policy and accessibility statement — you maintain them directly in the shop. Demo texts help you get started and are marked in the shop until you flag them as reviewed.
Decide which points must be agreed to in the request form. depositoo stores for every request what was confirmed and when. You choose the label of the submit button to suit your process.
With double opt-in, only requests with a confirmed email address reach you. Unconfirmed requests expire after 24 hours. You can switch it off if you don’t need it.
You set colours, corners, shadows, font and logo yourself. depositoo checks the contrast and uses system fonts only — no external fonts.
A skip link to the content, labelled form fields, visible focus and dialogs that can be closed with the keyboard — so that as many people as possible can use your shop.
If you wish, the shop shows a calendar per item with free and booked days — without names.

Yes. For each item you choose „Nicht anzeigen“ (Don’t show), „Bild + Name + Beschreibung“ (Image + name + description) or the attributes as well.
