Reservation software for inflatable rental operators

Your own branded booking site.
Built for bounce houses, not rental cars.

PuffPad gives you a white-labeled storefront on your own domain, real-time inventory with setup buffers, deposit-and-balance Stripe checkout, e-sign waivers, and the operational tooling to run a whole season from one screen.

First 3 rentals every month are free. You only pay $129 in months you book 4+ rentals. Slow month? No bill.

Built for inflatables

Setup and teardown windows, weather holds, weight limits, surface and power requirements — PuffPad models how a bounce house actually rents.

One unit, one booking

Setup-buffer-aware availability means a 12–4pm rental blocks the unit 11am–5pm. No double-booking, no frantic 6am Saturday text.

Paid before delivery

Deposit at booking, balance auto-charged before the event, signed waiver on file. The truck rolls only when everything is squared away.

Everything PuffPad does — and everything it will

We're transparent about what's shipping today vs. what's on the runway. No vapor.

How PuffPad works

01

Sign up & launch in an afternoon

Start the trial, upload your inflatables with photos and pricing, connect Stripe or Square, and point your domain at PuffPad. Most operators are taking bookings inside a few hours.

02

Customers book themselves, 24/7

Your branded site shows real-time availability for every unit. Customers pick a date, see the delivery fee for their address, pay the deposit, and sign your waiver — all in one flow.

03

You show up, set up, get paid

Your dispatch board groups jobs into routes. The balance auto-charges before the event. The customer gets a day-before weather check. You drive, set up, and close the booking.
