How to Use LEND-IT.CA as a Business or Individual Lender

Author: Tim Sattler

Whether you’re a side‑hustler with one great item or a rental business with a full inventory, this guide shows you exactly how to set up, grow, and win on LEND-IT.CA.

Why LEND-IT.CA?

Built for rentals, not garage sales. You’ll get:
Cashless payments and simple payouts
Verified users and built‑in messaging
Inventory + order management (calendars, bookings, order history)
Reviews for trust and repeat business

It’s your storefront, checkout, and booking system—all in one place

The Fast‑Start Checklist (10 minutes)

Get started: Download the app or visit lend-it.ca, create a free account, and select Business at sign‑up to unlock all features.
Create your storefront and add a clean logo + short bio (what you rent + area served).
List your items with sharp photos, clear titles, what’s included, and any instructions/return requirements.
Set pricing + availability (daily/weekly/monthly; block out maintenance or existing bookings).
Turn on notifications and respond quickly — fast replies = more reservations.
Share your storefront link everywhere (bio links, posts, stories, Marketplace, email signature).
Ask for reviews after every successful rental.

Growth Strategy That Works (and saves you money)

Still use Marketplace for reach, but always link back to your LEND-IT.CA listing so renters get coverage, cashless checkout, and a live calendar.

Use your existing social presence — point traffic back to LEND-IT.CA for bookings.

Keep posting on Facebook Marketplace (or your FB Page), but add your LEND-IT.CA item/storefront link so renters book there. Platform benefits: cashless checkout, verified users, calendar clarity, and order tracking.
Put your storefront link in your Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok bios.
Regularly share your storefront in Stories/Reels/Posts. Feature your best items, seasonal bundles, or weekend promos.

Cost savings:

No domain or rental/inventory software fees
No website hosting or maintenance to manage
More exposure to people actively searching to borrow, not buy

Step‑by‑Step: From Listing to Payout

Create your storefront: Add your logo, service area, delivery/pickup options, and social links
Add listings: Use bright, real photos.
Title: What it is + size/model + use case (e.g., “Medium Harvest Right Freeze Dryer – perfect for garden harvests”).
Description: benefits, what’s included, how to prep/clean, delivery option, deposit/ID if any.
Return requirements & instructions: quick care tips to prevent damage.
Set availability & pricing: Mark blocked dates and choose daily/weekly/monthly options so shoppers can self‑serve.
Share your listing links: Drop links into Marketplace posts, IG/TikTok bios, and Stories. (Templates below.)
Confirm requests fast: Reply to chats, approve bookings, and coordinate pickup/delivery.
Document condition: Snap before/after photos; it protects everyone and speeds up resolutions.
Get paid: Payments run through the platform; you’ll receive payout after completion. Ask happy renters for a quick review.

Insurance & protection? Document condition before/after; include clear instructions and return requirements. (If you carry business insurance, note it in your profile.)
Other software needed? Nope. Your storefront, calendar, orders, and messaging are in one place.
Can I still use my socials/Marketplace? Absolutely — just link to your LEND-IT.CA listing so renters book with coverage, cashless checkout, and a live calendar.
