Reservations
Products or services which customers can book such as saunas, bicycles, a bed & breakfast...can be linked to a calendar. The customer can choose the date, time and duration of the reservation.
This is possible with the module Reservation system.
Limits
You can add up to 250.000 products. Nevertheless, we advise you to not add too many products to your shop. This will make it hard for your customers to find the products they are looking for. It's preferable to create more shops if you have a lot of products.
