About this plugin
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.

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 (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.

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.
