10to8 API or another Booking and Payment service?

Currently I am making a website for a Bike Rental Service on github pages (We will eventually host our own server and switch to a ruby on rails applications to remove the need for any third part applications). The problem I am running into is finding a service that allows us to book reservations for the bikes and receive payments for the bike in advanced.

Right now I am attempting to use a site call 10to8 and the API but am having trouble figuring it all out. This site also has the payment system integrated with another third part program but I am simply trying to get the booking working first.

If anyone knows how to do this with either this site or another please let me know! We are looking for a server-less approach until we receive more business.

Thank you all! :)

Honestly if there is a way to store data on github pages then the API and third party software is not needed.

I just do not think that is possible given they are static sites and I cannot find some sort of request to send back to my github pages repository to manipulate any data what soever.... I did find a way to do it peer 2 peer, but that is way beyond the scope of this application
