  ## Per-location opening hours and time selection

  Customers can now choose a **pick-up or drop-off time** when they book, and the times they see come from each location's own [opening hours](/documentation/configuration/logistics/opening-hours). A city-centre store and a warehouse can each offer their real hand-off windows.

  Set weekly opening hours per location from the locations table under **Settings** > **Logistics and locations**, edit them one at a time or in bulk, and mark which locations offer in-person pick up and drop off. Turn on **time selection** for the pick up or drop off method and pick a slot interval (15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour). On the storefront, the time picker is built from the selected location's window for the chosen day, days a location is closed can't be selected for that hand-off, and the location picker shows each location's weekly hours.

  ## Edit restock by and prepare from dates on a cycle

  Override the preparation and restock buffer dates for an individual cycle when a specific rental needs more or less turnaround than your shop-wide [logistics buffers](/documentation/configuration/logistics/buffers) would give it.

  The **Outbound fulfillment** card now has an **Edit prepare from date** action, and the **Inbound receival** card has an **Edit restock by date** action. Both let you set the date directly or **Revert to automatic date** to recalculate from the shop's preparation or restock buffer. The date you set sticks until the leg's anchor date next moves.

  The same overrides are available from the [`update_cycle` MCP tool](/ai/operators-mcp/tools#cycles), the [**Update cycle** Shopify Flow action](/documentation/manage/automation/automation#update-cycle), and the [Update a cycle](/api-reference/admin/rentals/update-a-rental) endpoint on the Admin API, each accepting `prepare_from` / `restock_by` (or `prepareFrom` / `restockBy`) alongside the existing fields. Pass an empty value to revert either date to the automatic calculation.

  <Accordion title="Improvements">
    * **Reserve draft order inventory automatically.** Rentals added to a Shopify [draft order](/documentation/manage/cycles/edit-an-order#reserving-rental-inventory-on-a-draft-order) are now held automatically while the draft is still unpaid, so a unit can't be double-booked before the customer pays, with no need to turn on Shopify's Reserve items by hand. Control it from **Settings** > **Channels** > **Draft orders**, where you can toggle the behavior and set how long the hold lasts (7 days by default).
    * **See why a cycle's dates conflict.** When a cycle's dates clash with the selected item or variant, the overview card now spells out the cause instead of just flagging that a conflict exists. It reads whether the dates are taken by another rental, blocked by [blocked dates](/documentation/manage/inventory/blocked-dates), or both, and whether that applies to the assigned item or across the whole variant pool (for example, "It's booked for another rental" versus "All items have blocked dates").
    * **Start and end dates on every Supercycle order.** Orders created from the admin's **Add rentals** flow, the **Create order** page, and [CSV import](/documentation/setup/importing-products) now carry the same human-readable **Start date** and **End date** line item properties that online-store orders have always had, so the rental period is legible wherever the order appears. A related fix keeps [POS](/documentation/point-of-sale/pos-overview) rental dates from drifting a day across time zones.

  ## Expanded analytics dashboards

  Supercycle's built-in [Analytics](/documentation/manage/analytics/dashboards) has grown from a single beta view into a full set of dashboards reporting on metrics you can't get from native Shopify, calculated directly from your cycles, items, and charges.

  Dashboards are grouped by what you're measuring:

  * **Overview, Calendar, Subscriptions, Memberships, and Resale** track cycle throughput and, for recurring methods, billing health like failed charges and churn.
  * **Revenue and Charges** cover circular revenue, growth, collection rates, and outstanding balances.
  * **Items, Products, and Customers** surface the circular economics: fleet utilization, yield, lifecycle revenue and ROI, age of stock, and customer lifetime value.

  Every dashboard is scoped by a date range, each metric drills into a ranked table or detailed chart, and any card exports to CSV. Item, product, and customer detail pages also gain an inline **Performance** card showing that record's key numbers, and **Ask AI** opens Shopify [Sidekick](/ai/sidekick/shopify-sidekick) for questions that need more context than a chart.

title: "Calculated custom fields",
description: "Derive read-only field values from a Liquid formula across your Supercycle data and Shopify metafields."
}}
>
  ## Calculated custom fields

  Turn the data you already capture into insight. [Calculated fields](/documentation/configuration/custom-data/calculated-fields) are read-only custom fields whose value is computed from a [Liquid](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid) formula, so you can express business logic directly against your items, cycles, and consignors, no code required.

  A single formula can reference:

  * Any scalar Supercycle custom field on the record (`fields.<key>`), and on cycles also the rented item's fields (`item.fields.<key>`).
  * The linked Shopify variant's `price` and `unit_cost`, plus variant and product metafields (`variant.metafields.<key>`, `variant.product.metafields.<key>`).

  That combination unlocks metrics that used to live in spreadsheets:

  * **Utilization**: miles or hours completed during a cycle, and a running total on the item across every cycle.
  * **Unit economics**: revenue-per-cycle, margin, and time-to-breakeven derived from acquisition cost and average revenue per cycle.
  * **Operational flags**: booleans that light up when an item hits a service interval, has broken even, or exceeds a replacement-cost threshold.

  Formulas support the full Liquid toolkit: filters like `plus`, `times`, `divided_by`, `default`, and `date`; control flow with `{% if %}` and `{% case %}`; and intermediate values with `{% assign %}`. Values recalculate on demand via a **Recalculate** button on each field, so you always know when a number reflects the latest inputs.

  ## Custom fields on POS rentals

  Fill in [rental custom fields](/documentation/configuration/custom-data/custom-fields) as part of the [create rentals flow on POS](/documentation/point-of-sale/pos-overview#custom-fields-on-pos-rentals), so in-store bookings capture the same data as rentals created from the admin.

  Single line and multi line text field definitions render on the POS rental method screen (multi line as a text area). Values flow through to the cycle at ingestion and land on the rental record just like a field set from admin. Other field types (date, boolean, references, etc.) are hidden on POS.

  ## Add-ons

  Offer extras like damage protection, cleaning, or accessories alongside your rentals. [Add-ons](/documentation/manage/products/add-ons) live under **Products > Add-ons** — Supercycle owns the hidden Shopify product and syncs each price as a variant.

  Apply an add-on to any Calendar, Membership, Subscription, or Resale option with a price and an **Optional** or **Required** setting, or bulk-apply across many options at once. Selected add-on variants are added to the cart alongside the rental, and are recorded against the fulfilled rental at their sold price so they flow through to charges and reporting.

  ## Reserve rental inventory on draft orders

  Turn on Shopify's **Reserve items** on a draft order containing a rental, and Supercycle holds the picked unit for the rental window so nothing else can book it while the draft is unpaid. See [Edit cycles on order](/documentation/manage/cycles/edit-an-order#reserving-rental-inventory-on-a-draft-order).

  The block releases automatically when the reserve is turned off, the draft is paid or cancelled, the rental line is removed, or the reserve expires. Changing the rental dates on the draft refreshes the held window.

  Record acquisition cost and lifetime costs in a new Finance card on the item page. **Total ROI** appears alongside your existing analytics tiles, calculated as lifecycle revenue minus acquisition cost minus lifetime costs.

  </Frame>

  Add consignors, assign items, and set a default revenue share (with per-item overrides). Supercycle builds a running balance as their items are paid for, reverses it on refunds, and lets you record payouts to settle up. Consignors can follow their balance, activity, and payouts in their own portal.

  ## Revamped Scanner app

  The [Supercycle Scanner app](/documentation/manage/scanner/scanner) on iOS and Android has been rebuilt from the ground up, with a new design, faster workflows, and clearer bulk scanning on Zebra devices.

  Lists for items, cycles, and returns use a cleaner layout with status pills and quick filters. Detail screens group the information you need into scannable cards, and you can edit serial numbers, pick locations, and warehouse assignments inline without leaving the page.

  **Choose your scanner.** Turn camera, Zebra barcode, and Zebra RFID on or off independently from **Settings → Scanners**. The camera opens a single-item flow: scan a tag and jump straight to the item, cycle, or return. Zebra barcode and RFID start a multi-scan session: keep scanning to build a list, then run [bulk actions](/documentation/manage/scanner/scanner-actions#bulk-actions) across the selection (receive return, set visibility, warehouse, pick location, change product, or create items from unknown tags).

  <Accordion title="Improvements">
    * Newly created items resolve instantly in a multi-scan session (no re-scan needed).
    * Tap a matched row to open its detail page from the multi-scan list.
    * RFID reads that pick up multiple tags at once are split into one item per tag.

  ## Hourly pick-up and drop-off slots

  Set preparation and restock buffers in hours (not just whole days), and the storefront calendar greys out pick-up and drop-off times when nothing is free at that instant.

  Sub-day buffers unlock tighter scheduling for in-store handover: a six-hour prep window or a two-hour restock no longer has to round up to a full day. When a customer picks a start or end date, unavailable time slots are disabled and the selection advances to the first free slot.

  <Accordion title="Improvements">
    * The methods app block now shows **Total first payment** (deposit + recurring) when a subscription rental has a deposit, not just the recurring amount alone.
    * Calendar availability filtering is faster on stores with large variant catalogs.

  ## Ask Sidekick about your cycles

  [Shopify Sidekick](/ai/sidekick/shopify-sidekick) can now search your Supercycle data and include products in your catalog without leaving Shopify admin.

  Ask natural-language questions about cycles, customers, and return orders, such as what's overdue, who's a subscriber, or which returns are still expected. Sidekick can also start the **Include in Supercycle** flow for an existing Shopify product, so you can set it up for cycles conversationally.

  Reference fields link straight to the related record. The type picker is grouped into sections (Text, Reference, Number, Date and time, Other, Advanced) so it's easier to find the right type when you're setting up a new definition.

    <iframe src="https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/vjhskuh12t" title="Extending a cycle" width="100%" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameborder="0" />
  </Frame>

  A customer who wants to keep an item a little longer can extend it and pay the difference themselves, instead of emailing you to sort it out. From the admin you can extend any cycle, override the charge, and set a custom end date. Let customers do it themselves by turning on extensions in **Settings → Customer accounts → Cycle actions**.

  <Accordion title="Improvements">
    * **Block dates now support times:** set a block to a specific time (not just a whole day), give it a description, and import or export blocks in bulk via CSV.

    * New **Mark as received** action on receivals, split out from **Create return** for quicker handling.
    * Add a brand-new customer while creating an order, not just pick an existing one.
    * The method options CSV import/export now includes **ID verification** and **Contract** columns.

  ## Pick up and drop off return methods

  Customers can now choose how they return an item (ship it back or drop it off), and you can run pickup/drop-off only by switching shipping off.

  Return logistics now mirror delivery: the storefront shows a return method picker when more than one is enabled, and availability and scheduling follow the customer's choice, so each return is scheduled on the right timeline. Stores that only do in-person handover can disable shipping entirely, as long as one delivery and one return method stay on.

  ## Request ID verification from the admin

  Trigger an ID verification straight from a customer's page, and manage the whole feature from a new section under **Settings → Risk**.

  You no longer have to wait for a customer to hit a verification gate at checkout. If something looks off, request [identity verification](/documentation/configuration/risk/identity-verification) yourself, and Supercycle applies the **ID Verification Required** tag just like the automatic flow.

  <Accordion title="Improvements">
    * **Managed deposits:** add your deposit prices under **Settings → Risk** and Supercycle creates and manages the deposit product and its variants for you.
    * Deposit cart validation is now enforced at checkout completion, not just in the cart.
    * Custom SMTP now retries transient send failures, so a brief blip on your mail server doesn't drop a customer email.
    * New `checkout_context` metafield passes Supercycle's view of the cart to checkout UI extensions.

  Block availability for a specific item, for every item on a variant, or for every item across a whole product. Set a from and to date, or leave them blank for an indefinite block.

  Perfect for store closures, scheduled servicing, or a venue going offline for a weekend. Stock you can't fulfil stops being bookable, so you avoid orders you'd have to cancel.

  ## Cart timer

  [Automatically remove Supercycle items](/documentation/online-store/cart-timer) from customers' carts after a set time.

  Rental stock is finite, and an abandoned cart can hold a unit hostage. Auto-expiry returns held inventory to the pool, reducing the chance of overbooking.

  Every cycle now carries the same signed-contract audit trail, whether it started online or in store, so you have a clear record to fall back on if an item comes back damaged or late.

  <Accordion title="Improvements">
    * New Shopify Flow triggers and actions: new triggers for cycles, memberships, returns, and failed charges, plus actions to create charges, update cycles, add tags, re-allocate items, and update memberships. See [Automation](/documentation/manage/automation/automation).

  ## Rentals are now Cycles

  "Rental" has become "[Cycle](https://supercycle.com/news/rentals-are-now-cycles)" throughout Supercycle.

  A single product can move through rental, resale, trade-in, and subscription. "Rental" was too small a word for that. You'll see the updated terminology across the admin and Flow triggers over the coming weeks. The existing API is unchanged; a new API reflecting the updated modelling is on the way.

  ## Support for Shopify markets and pricing by item condition

  Set pricing on method options by specific markets, variants, and item conditions, so a "well loved" unit can list below an "as new" one, and prices can follow each market.

  ## Filter rentals by item overlap conflict, then bulk re-allocate

  See overlapping rentals (with filters for whether an alternative item is free), and resolve them in bulk with **Re-allocate item** from the reservations table actions.

  <Accordion title="Improvements">

  A pickup delivery method lets you set different buffer periods for rentals that ship versus those collected in store. Enable it from [beta features](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/supercycle/settings/features).

  Shipping needs days of turnaround buffer; a counter pickup needs almost none. Separate buffers mean store-pickup stock isn't blocked by shipping lead times it never uses.

  ## Cancellation window and minimum term on membership plans

  Set a cancellation window (for example, 14 days) and a minimum term (for example, 3 months) on a membership.

  Commitment terms protect the economics of a plan: customers can't sign up and cancel the next day, so the recurring revenue you price around actually holds.

  ## Card vaulting

  [Capture a customer's card](/documentation/configuration/risk/card-vaulting) and charge it at any time.

  A card on file lets you recover the cost of a late return, damage, or a missed payment without chasing the customer, lowering the risk of renting out high-value items.

  ## Introducing Charges, replacing Invoices

  Charges work like invoice lines but with more flexibility: combine several into a single payment via a draft order.

  Billing a customer for a late fee plus an extension as one payment, instead of several separate invoices, makes the charge clearer for them and easier for you to reconcile.

  <Accordion title="Improvements">
    * Change the product or variant an item is associated with, useful when using variants for conditions such as **Like New** and **Well Loved** and the item condition changes over time.
    * Support for unlimited quantity when placing an order with a rental. Cart validation now checks availability against quantity, so a customer can select any quantity and we validate availability during checkout.
    * Filter reservations and invoices tables by **Not tagged with**.
    * A clearer inline subscription UI now shows the current status of subscriptions within a rental.
    * **Create rental order** from Reservations now brings the Shopify variant into the draft order, so the correct variant SKU is communicated to your 3PL or operations team. Draft orders also support cart validation, guarding against overlapping rentals.
