Outdoor store gear hire & online sales software
Outdoor stores: hire it, try it, buy it. Gear hire and retail together.
Hire gear tracked on paper, returns unchecked and online sales separate. We build hire and retail systems for outdoor stores.
Looking for outdoor gear hire software?
Many customers want to hire before they buy. We build hire calendars with condition checks alongside your online store.
Wollopit builds online stores, product tools, click and collect and integrations for outdoor 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.

What we hear from outdoor stores
Does your outdoor store have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

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 outdoor 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 outdoor stores ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can hire and purchases be in one order?
Yes. Customers can hire and buy in one checkout.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your outdoor 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 outdoor 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.
