The EquipDash browser extension

The free EquipDash extension for Chrome and Microsoft Edge adds a button to your browser toolbar with three tabs:

  • Today: pickups, returns, late items and new online bookings, with a desktop alert when a customer books.
  • Import: reads your current website and adds what you sell to EquipDash as drafts.
  • Preview: shows your Book now button on your own website before you add the code.

It works on every EquipDash plan.

The extension before it is connected, with the Connect button

The extension opens on Today. Everyone on your team can connect with their own login, and each person sees only what their role allows in EquipDash.

Todayโ€‹

Today shows how many pickups, returns and late items you have today, then the bookings behind them. Click any booking to open it in EquipDash.

The Today tab with pickups, returns, late items and new online bookings

  • The number on the toolbar button counts the pickups and returns still to come today. When something is late, it turns red and counts the late items instead.
  • New online bookings lists what customers booked themselves in the last 24 hours: on your booking page, through a travel site or through an AI assistant.
  • Each new online booking also pops up a desktop alert. To turn alerts off, click the gear icon and switch off Tell me about new online bookings.

Import your items from your websiteโ€‹

Moving to EquipDash from another booking system or a website that lists what you sell? Bring your items across without typing them in.

  1. Open the page of your website that lists what you rent or sell, then click EquipDash in your toolbar.
  2. On your own website the extension opens on Import. Check the Website address and click Import items.
  3. Wait a minute or two while EquipDash reads the page. You can close the extension and come back.
  4. Click Review and approve.

The Import tab with items found on the shop's website, ready to review

Bring your items across opens in EquipDash with every item ticked. Untick what you don't want, fix any name or price, then approve. Nothing goes live until you do.

Preview your Book now button on your websiteโ€‹

  1. Open any page of your website and click EquipDash in your toolbar.
  2. Click Preview and switch on Show my Book now button here.

The Preview tab with the switch on and the Copy code button

Your Book now button appears on the page, the way customers will see it. Click it to open your booking page. Only you see the preview, and it goes away when you reload the page.

See or disconnect a browserโ€‹

Every browser connected to your business shows on the Browser extension card in Settings > API & Integrations > Integrations, under Your website, with who signed in, which browser and when it was last used.

  1. Click Disconnect on the browser you want to remove.
  2. Click Disconnect again to confirm.

The Browser extension card in Settings, API & Integrations

The extension in that browser asks to connect again. You need permission to manage integrations to disconnect a browser. Anyone can disconnect their own browser from the extension: click the gear icon, then Disconnect.

What the extension readsโ€‹

  • Your bookings: today's pickups, returns, late items and new online bookings, read from your EquipDash account. Customer names stay on your computer only until the next check, about once a minute.
  • The page you are on: only its address, and only when you open the extension. It is sent to EquipDash only when you click Import items. The extension does not read what is on the page.
  • Your sign-in: Connect gives the extension its own key, never your password. Disconnecting deletes it.

The extension talks only to EquipDash. It does not sell or share your data.
