## Description

Advanced Connector for Uplisting connects your WordPress website with your Uplisting
account so you can publish vacation rental properties, show availability and pricing,
and collect booking enquiries using the official Uplisting Connect API.

Import listings from Uplisting, keep calendars and rates in sync, and let visitors
search properties by dates, location, and guest count. Guests can submit a booking
request from the property page; you review the enquiry in WordPress and follow up
to confirm the stay.

This is an independent integration built for Uplisting users. Uplisting is a trademark
of its respective owner. This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by Uplisting.

#### Features

 * Direct Uplisting Connect API integration.
 * Import properties from your Uplisting account.
 * Automatic calendar and rate synchronization.
 * Responsive property listing grid and list views.
 * Property search with date, location, guest, and bedroom filters.
 * Individual property pages with galleries, amenities, and house rules.
 * Availability calendar and live day rates on the property page.
 * Booking enquiry checkout (name, email, phone, and stay details).
 * Admin booking inbox to review and update enquiry status.
 * Notification emails for new requests, confirmations, cancellations, and payment
   updates.
 * Configurable listing, reservation, and success pages.
 * Currency and price format settings.
 * Translation ready.
 * Built for WordPress and Uplisting users.

#### Shortcodes

Display listings anywhere on your site with:

    ```
    [bizdex_uplisting_properties]
    ```

The shortcode renders a searchable property archive. Grid or list view, filters,
and results-per-page can be configured under **Advanced Connector for Uplisting  
Settings**.

### External services

This plugin relies on Uplisting, a third-party property management service. It is
required to import listings, show live availability and prices, and keep calendars
in sync. The plugin does not work without an Uplisting account and API key.

#### Uplisting Connect API

Service: [Uplisting Connect API](https://connect.uplisting.io) (operated by Uplisting).

What it is used for:

 * Importing property listings, details, amenities, and photo URLs into WordPress.
 * Loading availability calendars and day rates on property pages.
 * Calculating stay prices for dates a visitor selects.
 * Background calendar and rate sync after an API key is saved.

What data is sent, and when:

 * After a site admin saves an API key, the plugin sends that key (HTTP Basic authentication)
   and, if configured, a client ID header on each API request.
 * Requests include the Uplisting property ID and, for calendars and pricing, the
   selected check-in and check-out dates.
 * These calls run when an admin tests the connection or imports a listing, when
   a visitor loads a property calendar or asks for a price, and on scheduled WordPress
   cron jobs.
 * Guest names, email addresses, phone numbers, and booking enquiry details are 
   stored in WordPress. They are not sent to the Uplisting API.
 * Payment card data is never collected or sent. Guests submit an enquiry; you arrange
   payment separately.

Terms of service: [Uplisting Terms and Conditions](https://www.uplisting.io/legal/terms-and-conditions)

Privacy policy: [Uplisting Privacy Policy](https://www.uplisting.io/legal/privacy)

#### Uplisting property photos

When you import a listing, the plugin stores the photo URLs returned by the Uplisting
API (hosted by Uplisting or their content delivery network). The first photo may
be saved as the featured image in the WordPress Media Library. Visitors load gallery
images from those Uplisting URLs. No personal visitor data is sent with those image
requests.

#### Uplisting calendar feeds (iCal)

If a listing includes an iCal calendar URL from Uplisting, scheduled sync may request
that URL with an HTTP GET to read busy dates. That request does not include guest
names, emails, phone numbers, or payment data.

#### Uplisting API endpoints

Base URL: [https://connect.uplisting.io](https://connect.uplisting.io)

 * GET /properties — Retrieve property listings.
 * GET /properties/{id} — Retrieve a single property, including photos.
 * GET /calendar/{id} — Retrieve availability and day rates (optional from/to dates).
 * GET /bookings/{id} — Retrieve bookings for a property.
 * GET /availability — Query availability across properties.
