FAQ

Does this plugin use any external APIs?

No. All restaurant information (name, image, address, and URLs for each service) is entered manually by the user.

What is automatically generated from the Tabelog URL?

A review link (/dtlrvwlst/) and a map link (/dtlmap/) are automatically generated. If ValueCommerce affiliate IDs are set, these links will include the affiliate tracking code.

What is the difference from Hotelipp?

Hotelipp is designed for hotels and accommodation, while Taberipp is designed for restaurants. Hotelipp automatically fetches hotel data from the Rakuten Travel API, while Taberipp uses manual data entry without any external API.
