Camera store hire systems: calendars, deposits & damage
Camera stores: hire gear booked, checked and returned. Hire calendars that never double book.
Hire bookings in a diary, deposits held in cash and damage disputes with no record. We build hire systems for camera stores.
Looking for camera hire booking software?
Camera stores rent expensive gear. We build hire systems with availability, deposits and condition records.
Wollopit builds online stores, product tools, click and collect and integrations for camera stores around how your shop actually runs. We connect the POS and platforms you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to selling.
01The problems
What we hear from camera stores
Does your camera store have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most camera stores we talk to are running a shop and a website that don't talk to each other, then fixing the gaps by hand every afternoon.

Everything under one roof
Software, websites and systems for camera stores.
Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.
Custom software for camera stores
Built around how your camera store actually runs: hire calendar, online deposits and the admin in between, in one system you own.
Websites for camera stores
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Camera store system upgrades
Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your camera store: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things camera stores ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers hire and buy in one checkout?
Yes. Hire and purchases can be combined in one order.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your camera store. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Do we have to leave Shopify or WooCommerce?
No. Most of the time we build on top of the platform you're on: custom features, integrations and better product tools. If it's genuinely holding you back we'll explain the options first.
Can the shop and the website share stock?
Yes. We sync your POS, website and marketplaces so stock, prices and orders line up without anyone retyping them.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most camera stores we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
