How to swap a dumpster mid-rental in Dumpster Controls

When a full can needs to be exchanged for an empty one (same size or different), the "Swap Dumpster" flow creates the replacement delivery in seconds, linked to the pickup.

1. 1

   Start the swap

   On the pickup card, click "Swap" (tooltip: "Swap Dumpster", "Customer needs an additional or replacement dumpster"). The "Swap Dumpster" dialog opens: "Create a new delivery for when the customer needs an additional or replacement dumpster".

2. 2

   Choose how it gets paid

   Pick "Electronic (Stripe)" to send an invoice and payment link, or "Cash" for no electronic invoice. Without Stripe connected, the swap is cash-only.

3. 3

   Set "Delivery & Pickup Dates"

   Choose the "Delivery Date" for the new can; the "Pickup Date" auto-fills to match the original rental length and stays editable. The dialog shows "Rental period:" in days and flags when it differs from the original.

4. 4

   Answer "What size does the customer need?"

   "Same size" inherits the original pricing exactly ("Price adjusts automatically"), with every field editable for a custom swap price. "Different size" lets you pick another size; the price auto-fills from that size and the rental duration.

5. 5

   Create it

   Click the confirm button. A toast reads "Swap Order Created" with the new order number, size, rental days, and whether the invoice and payment link were sent.
