# Checkout Page Tips


# 🚗 Supercharge Your Checkout with Custom URLs!

Want to make renting a breeze for your customers? With **Fleetwire**, you can create custom URLs that preload checkout settings like dates, times, and even discount codes.

Let’s explore how to craft these magic links!

## 🎯 Why Use Custom Checkout URLs?

Custom URLs streamline the booking process and enhance the customer experience:

* **Save Time**: Preload dates and times so customers skip manual entry.
* **Offer Discounts**: Include coupon codes to reward loyal customers or promote deals.
* **Personalize Offers**: Send targeted links for specific vehicles or rental periods.

|| **Note**: These URLs point to your Fleetwire-hosted checkout page (e.g., `yourcompany.fleetwire.io/checkout`). Ensure your shop is set up in [Online Reservations](/en/article/using-the-fleetwire-hosted-store-1bmnifn/) before sharing links.

## 🛠 How to Create Custom Checkout URLs

Fleetwire’s checkout URLs let you preload settings using query parameters. Here’s how it works, step by step.

### Step 1: Understand the Base URL

Every checkout URL starts with your Fleetwire-hosted shop’s checkout page, followed by a listing ID. Here’s an example (not a real link):

`https://yourcompany.fleetwire.io/rental/reservations?l_id=l_TMNJYXYF`

* **Base URL**: `yourcompany.fleetwire.io/rental/reservations`
* **Listing ID**: `l_id=l_TMNJYXYF` (unique to each vehicle)

Find your listing IDs in the [Listings dashboard](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/listings/).
---

### Step 2: Add Query Parameters

Customize the URL by adding parameters for dates, times, or coupons. Here are the available options:

* **startDate**: Sets the rental start date (e.g., `20220824` for August 24, 2022). Format: `YYYYMMDD` (no spaces or separators). Optional.
* **endDate**: Sets the rental end date (e.g., `20220825`). Format: `YYYYMMDD`. Required if `startDate` is set.
* **startTime**: Sets the start time (e.g., `1300` for 1:00 PM). Format: 4-digit 24-hour (e.g., `0900` for 9:00 AM). Optional.
* **endTime**: Sets the end time (e.g., `1300`). Format: 4-digit 24-hour. Optional.
* **promoCode**: Applies a coupon (e.g., `RETURN10` for 10% off). Must be a valid coupon for your company and listing. Optional.

Example URL with parameters (not a real link):

`https://yourcompany.fleetwire.io/rental/reservations?l_id=l_TMNJYXYF&startDate=20220824&endDate=20220825&startTime=1300&endTime=1300&promoCode=RETURN10`

This URL preloads a rental from August 24, 2022, at 1:00 PM to August 25, 2022, at 1:00 PM, with a 10% discount.

| **Pro Tip**: Keep URLs short by only including necessary parameters. For example, omit `startTime` and `endTime` if your rentals use default times.
---

### Step 3: Generate and Share the URL

Fleetwire makes it easy to create these URLs:

1. In your Fleetwire dashboard, open a listing in [Listings](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/listings/).
2. Go to the listing’s checkout preview and set your desired dates, times, or coupon.
3. Click the **Share** button at the bottom of the summary card to copy the preloaded URL.
4. Share the URL via email, text, or social media with your customers.

| **Quick Tip**: Test the URL in a browser to ensure it loads the correct settings before sharing with customers.

||| **Warning**: URLs are case-sensitive, and parameters must match your company’s valid coupons and listings. Invalid parameters (e.g., an expired coupon) will be ignored at checkout.
