HireHop now allows you to have items that are being supplied in a job to be dispatched and returned on different dates to the job dates.  You can also make items chargeable for different periods to those setup in the job.  This allows you to add additional rentals to the job and charge accordingly.

Lets say for example you have a job job from Monday to Friday.  With the new feature in HireHop you can now send some items out and make them unavailable from Wednesday to Friday.  If you want, you can also only make them chargeable from Wednesday to Thursday, or even charge them for the job hire duration, the choice is yours.

Labor items have also been enhanced.  You can set the start and finish times and dates the service is required for.  You can also have an overriding charging period for any labor services supplied within a job.  As an example, a Job is again from Monday to Friday, however you only need the labor on Monday from 8am to 8pm, to deliver and setup the rental.  The problem that HireHop can now overcome, is that the 12 hour shift is more than a standard day rate, so HireHop enables you to set the chargeable duration for that particular entry to a 1½ day rate for example, instead of a single day.

Due to Brexit, and lots of customers having to ship goods in and out of their country, we have added a Job Carnet document that lists and numbers all the items in a job correctly.  Numbering is correctly calculated according to sequence and quantity.

HireHop  can now produce a detailed list for an ATA carnet with numbering done in the correct format, as well as filling in weights, values, description and of course the country of origin.

The document also has a built in script that calculates the item numbers, which is a sequence that also takes into account the previous item’s quantity.

This will save you countless man hours having to manually fill out the lists, help avoid mistakes and also help avoid a carnet being rejected at the border due to a minor oversight like an incorrect numbering sequence.

HireHop Equipment Rental Software now gives you the ability to to take payments from your customers online, or even in-person and over the phone, making it easier for your customers to pay and for you to stay ahead of your finances.

When sending clients an invoice document, you can include a link that when clicked, it takes your customer to a page branded with your logo, showing an invoice, the balance and all other details.  The page allows them to pay online using a credit or debit card in over 135 currencies.

Your customer can pay either the entire amount or part of the invoice. As soon as the payment has cleared, the payment appears against the invoice in HireHop and gets exported to your accounting software.

Payments can be made by the customer using any credit or debit card, as well as Google Pay, from almost every country in the world.

To use this feature, you don’t need to get an expensive credit card subscription, or special bank accounts, and there is no fixed monthly fee from the credit card company.  All you need to do is signup for a free Stripe account and subscribe to the Payments plugin in HireHop which only costs $1.40 per user each month.  There is a fixed transaction fee made by Stripe for each payment which can be found here that varies depending on which country you are based.

Once you have subscribed to Stripe, in the HireHop Settings->Company settings page, just add the Stripe public and private keys and enter them into the corresponding boxes in HireHop.

To add a payment button in your invoice documents, in each document you can add the following code (or similar):

<p style="text-align: center;">
<a name="invoice:link" style="border:1px solid #777; border-radius:4px; padding:1em; background:#DDD; cursor:pointer;">Click here to pay</a>
</p>

The above code will create a button that takes your customer to a dedicated payment page which works and display in different ways, depending on which document merge field you use. There are 4 different document merge fields that open different types of payment page :

• invoice:link – An itemised list and allows the user to set a payment amount.
• invoice:link_min – Just shows the total and allows the user to set a payment amount.
• invoice:link_full – An itemised list and the user can only pay the balance.
• invoice:link_full_min – Just shows the total and the user can only pay the balance.
