Hello,
Thanks for your messages. The relations between a vehicle and the categories are optional, and you can eventually select multiple or all categories.
Categories can be used as a filter for the search results page of the booking process, or as a filter in the pages (Shortcodes) of type “Cars List”, for eventually displaying only the cars that belong to a specific category. Please notice that selecting no categories for a vehicle will exclude it from the results in case a specific category ID is chosen from the filters.
Moreover, inquiries can be submitted from the pages (Shortcodes) of type “Car Details” (as long as the apposite parameter is enabled for your vehicle). Instead, if you wish to receive rental orders with pending status, then it’s sufficient to publish and configure a payment method that will not automatically confirm the orders, nor will it start a credit card transaction. The best option in this case is to use the driver for the “Bank Transfer” and to give it a name like “Request quotation/approval”.
Regarding the 10% deposit through Stripe or any other payment plugin: you can indeed activate this option from the configuration settings of VikRentCar. The setting “Pay entire amount” should be disabled so that you can define a 10% deposit to confirm the rental order. Additionally, if the configuration setting “Allow multiple payments for the same order” is disabled, then the remaining/outstanding balance will have to be paid at the desk just like as you need it. Alternatively, users would be able to place a new payment for the outstanding balance.
We suggest getting in touch with our team through our website should you have any additional questions related to payments, especially because these features are only available in the Pro/commercial version of the plugin, and so we would not want to off-topic on this forum.
Thank you!
The VikWP Team
