Self-Storage Connector for Hontas Manager

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).

Screenshots

  • Settings: API base URL, customer token, and optional account / box page URLs.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to wp-content/plugins/ or install it from the Plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Open Hontas Connector in the admin menu (settings page title: Self-Storage Connector for Hontas Manager).
  4. Set:
    • API base URL (e.g. https://your-domain.tld without the /api/... path);
    • Customer token provided by your Hontas Manager administrator;
    • Optional URLs for the tenant account and box selection pages used in internal links.
  5. Place the documented shortcodes on the pages you need.

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 .mo files under wp-content/languages/plugins/ or use a translation plugin.
