Description
Self-Storage Connector for Hontas Manager is the official WordPress extension published by SAS Hontas box (SIRET 817 918 642), the company behind the Hontas Manager platform for self-storage operators.
It bridges your WordPress site and your Hontas Manager instance. After you enter your API base URL and customer token, you can:
- List locations and available offers on your website.
- Let visitors create a tenant account, sign in, and track reservations.
- Send contact requests and prospect forms to your back office.
- Link your “account” and “box selection” pages for consistent navigation.
Public features are exposed through shortcodes (for example [hontas_manager]).
Important: this plugin requires a running Hontas Manager instance and valid API credentials. It is a connector; it does not replace the Hontas Manager SaaS application.
External services
This plugin talks to the Hontas Manager instance you configure (base URL + customer token). Requests target that host’s /api/customer/... endpoints.
- Data sent: depends on features used (login credentials, prospect details, contact messages, reservation data, etc.), only when an end user performs an action.
- Terms: governed by your agreement with the Hontas Manager operator and your privacy policy.
- Front-end assets: Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and intl-tel-input are bundled under
assets/vendor/and loaded from your own site (no remote CDN).

FAQ
-
Who develops this plugin?
-
SAS Hontas box (29 Avenue du Lycée, 33400 Talence, France). Contact: hontasbox@hontas.fr. This is the official connector for the Hontas Manager product; it is not a third-party integration.
-
Do I only need a WordPress.org account?
-
No. You need an API customer token issued from your Hontas Manager operator space. The plugin does not create that account for you.
-
Where is the API URL?
-
It is the public URL of your Hontas Manager instance (as described in your setup documentation). If unsure, ask whoever hosts your Hontas Manager instance.
-
Does the plugin send data off my site?
-
Yes. Forms and API calls (login, reservations, prospects, contact, etc.) reach your Hontas Manager server at the configured base URL. Data is not sent to WordPress.org.
-
Can I translate the UI?
-
The text domain is
self-storage-connector-hontas-manager. You can ship.mofiles underwp-content/languages/plugins/or use a translation plugin.
