Costume hire calendars with sizes & return dates
Costume hire: the right costume, the right size, back on time. Availability and returns sorted.
Costumes double hired before Halloween, sizes guessed and returns late. We build hire calendars and catalogues for costume stores.
Looking for costume hire booking software?
Costume hire peaks around events and themes. We build catalogues with availability by size and hire calendars that prevent double bookings.
Wollopit builds online stores, product tools, click and collect and integrations for costume hire 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.

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 costume hire business: 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 costume hire stores ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers reserve costumes online?
Yes. Costumes can be reserved by size and date with a deposit.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your costume hire business. 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 costume hire 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.
