How to get started
There is no need for a new payment provider or a complicated system change. Start with a complete profile and your most important listing.
Prepare documentation
Keep pricing, insurance certificates, service descriptions and safety-relevant information up to date and available.
Manage listings and availability
Maintain delivery areas, calendar, images, equipment and add-on services so that bookings can be planned realistically and reliably.
Deliver and document
Respond quickly to enquiries, report disruptions immediately, and document delivery, setup, special notes and collection cleanly.
The biggest advantages for providers at a glance
From your first listing to calendar management, HOPS24 complements your existing sales channels without getting between you and your customer.
Dedicated SEO landing pages for every listing
Every active listing gets its own search-engine-friendly detail page with images, structured data and a clean URL – so your offer can be found more easily via Google.
Your complete booking register – including direct customers
Bookings via phone, Instagram or WhatsApp can be entered directly in the dashboard. They automatically block your calendar, appear in your overview and can be exported just like platform bookings. Everything in one place – no matter which channel the order came through.
Calendar, delivery areas and availability
External ICS calendars, blocked days and served postal codes control which requests match your availability and prevent double bookings.
Exportable booking overview
Bookings and payment receipts you document can be exported as CSV, XML or PDF. The data supports your bookkeeping but does not replace your own invoice or tax review.
Payment directly from the customer
You agree timing and payment method directly with your customer. HOPS24 does not collect or hold the rental price and does not pay providers out.
Sell equipment – directly via the platform
You can also list any of your items for sale in addition to rental. Interested parties submit a purchase request directly via the marketplace – you decide. If the buyer is themselves a provider on the platform, the equipment can be automatically transferred to their inventory on request. Learn more →

How the partnership works
HOPS24 is a marketplace for direct contacts. Provider and customer contract and settle payment directly; the platform does not collect customer funds on the provider's behalf.
The range is not limited to bouncy castles. Those who also offer popcorn machines, candy floss machines, beer benches, high tables, fog machines or other rental items can also make these bookable via the platform – either as an add-on to a bouncy castle or as a standalone listing.
If you deliver reliably, document clearly and respond professionally to event requirements, this model is a great fit. It does not favour the cheapest provider, but the most dependable one.

Frequently asked questions from providers
What is my role with platform bookings?
You are the contracting party of your customer. HOPS24 introduces you and supports organisation but does not take over your contract or the customer's payment.
What do I need to work with the platform?
You should have solid business details, appropriate liability insurance, clear pricing, reasonable response times and reliable service records.
How do I receive payment?
Your customer pays you directly using the method you agree. HOPS24 does not collect the rental price and therefore does not issue a payout to you.
What does the platform cost?
The provider features and listing allowance currently enabled are free, with no transaction commission. Future additional allowances, packages or modules may only become paid after transparent pricing and an explicit order. Nothing is activated automatically.
How are problems on the event day handled?
Tell your customer about disruptions, delays or safety issues immediately and document them. As contracting parties, you agree remediation, substitute service or refunds directly.
Do I get documents for my accountant?
You can export bookings and payment receipts you document as CSV, XML or PDF. Your own invoices, tax treatment and coordination with your accountant remain your responsibility.
Can I also add bookings that did not come through HOPS24?
Yes. In the "Bookings" tab of your dashboard, you will find an area called "Add external booking". There you can record orders received by phone, Instagram, WhatsApp or direct contact – with customer details, date, address and amount. The booking immediately blocks your calendar for the relevant listing and appears in the CSV export just like any platform booking.
