Platform foundation

Native platform for full ownership

Your inventory lives inside your own WordPress site as structured content, not as a third party iframe or feed. That means stronger SEO, full editorial control and a clean operational footprint you actually own.

Inventory sync

Reliable inventory sync workflow

Vehicles can be added in the WordPress backend or imported optionally through the official AutoScout24 API using encrypted, credential-based authentication. Imports run on demand, on a schedule, or via external cron. No scraping, no fragile workarounds.

  1. Phase 01

    Connect

    Establish a secure, authenticated link to the official AutoScout24 API scoped to your seller accounts.

    1. Secure connection Encrypted, credential-based connection scoped to your seller accounts.
    2. Authenticated session Industry-standard authentication protects every request.
  2. Phase 02

    Sync

    Retrieve, enrich and reconcile inventory in controlled batches with smart change detection.

    1. Listings retrieval Inventory is pulled in batches for reliable large imports.
    2. Listing enrichment Each vehicle is enriched with the full attribute set.
    3. Smart change detection Only changed vehicles are updated, duplicates are avoided automatically.
  3. Phase 03

    Publish

    Materialise inventory as native WordPress pages, process media and keep everything current on schedule.

    1. Native vehicle pages Each listing becomes a real page on your WordPress site.
    2. Image processing Vehicle images are processed in the background with optional WebP optimisation.
    3. Scheduled refresh Recurring imports keep your inventory current over time.
