Attribute Updates

We ask that our merchants mark the appropriate items as leasable during setup. We still allow customers to checkout with leasable and non leasable items. However, they must pay for non leasable items in full at the time of checkout, but don’t worry, we’ll take care of the taxes and the payment. For this to happen you must update your product attributes as leasable.

Not sure which items are leasable? Look at our merchant guide for a list of non leasable items or reach out to us directly at [email protected].

Updating Attributes as leasable:
To update an item as leasable go to Products > find the product(s) that is leasable >go to Edit > Go to Leasable tab > Select ‘Yes/No’ and update the product.
