Server-side requests use your **stored API key** and **Entity ID**—nothing is embedded in page source for visitors, which keeps the integration easier to rotate and audit. Display facility profile data and **move-in / availability inventory** from the vendor API on any page via shortcodes. #### Features * **API integration:** WebSelfStorage API v3—facility (`/v3/location`), move-in inventory (`/v3/movein`), and related calls used by the shortcodes * **Location display:** Address, phone, and hours from the API * **Available units:** Move-in inventory (pricing and specs as returned by the API) * **Admin:** LandTech Storage settings for API key and Entity ID; **Test Connection** to validate credentials and connectivity * **Shortcodes (public):** `[landtech_self_storage]`, `[landtech_wss_movein]`, `[ landtech_wss_location_sizes]` (see Installation) * **`[wss_api_\*]` shortcodes:** Raw JSON wrappers for endpoints—for **administrators** debugging only; do not use on public pages * **Responsive CSS** for shortcode output * **Translation-ready** — text domain `landtech-self-storage-api`; default strings are English (see _Language support_ below) #### Premium Version For reservation forms, multi-facility support, waiting lists, analytics, advanced automation, and **bundled multi-language packages** (see _Language support_), see [LandTech Self Storage API Premium](https://landtechwebdesigns.com/product/self-storage-api-premium/). #### Language support **This free plugin** is internationalization-ready. WordPress will load a translation if you install a matching `landtech-self-storage-api-{locale}.mo` (for example in` wp-content/languages/plugins/`) or when community translations are available for this plugin on WordPress.org. The **template** for translators (`.pot`) is included under `languages/` in the plugin package. **Self Storage API Premium** adds [Self Storage API Premium](https://landtechwebdesigns.com/product/self-storage-api-premium/)- maintained **compiled translations** for many locales (for example German, Spanish, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese), **RTL** styles for admin and front-end, a **Language support** help document under SelfStorage Documentation, and a much larger set of translatable admin and feature strings (reservations, waiting list, license tools, and more). **For the full translated experience across Premium features, upgrade to [Self Storage API Premium](https://landtechwebdesigns.com/product/self-storage-api-premium/).** #### Installation #### Requirements * **WordPress:** 5.0 or higher (tested up to 7.0). * **PHP:** 7.2 or higher (matches plugin header). * **Hosting:** Outbound **HTTPS** requests must be allowed so WordPress can call` api.webselfstorage.com` (the plugin uses `wp_remote_get` / `wp_remote_post`, not raw cURL). * **Credentials:** A valid **WebSelfStorage API key** and your facility **Entity ID** (from your storage network or U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network account). #### Install the plugin 1. **Upload or install:** Add the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/landtech-self- storage-api/`, _or_ in wp-admin go to **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin** and select the plugin zip, _or_ search for **LandTech Self Storage API** if installing from WordPress.org. 2. **Activate:** Go to **Plugins**, find **LandTech Self Storage API – Automated Storage Management Integration**, and click **Activate**. #### Configure the API connection 1. In the WordPress admin sidebar, open **LandTech Storage** (top-level menu). The plugin’s settings screen loads there—it is not nested under **Settings General**. 2. Enter your **API key** and **Entity ID** (facility identifier used in API paths— often a numeric code from your network). 3. Click **Save Settings**, then **Test Connection** (same screen) to confirm WordPress can reach `api.webselfstorage.com` and that the API accepts your credentials. #### Use shortcodes on your site 1. Edit any **page** or **post** and add the shortcodes you need: 2. * `[landtech_self_storage]` — Primary block: facility profile plus optional units(` show_location`, `show_units`). * `[landtech_wss_movein]` — Move-in inventory only (useful if you disabled units on the main shortcode to avoid duplication). * `[landtech_wss_location_sizes]` — Size-code / vacant-units table from `/v3/location/{ entity}` for comparison with move-in data. * **`[wss_api_\*]`** (e.g. `wss_api_location`, `wss_api_movein`) — **Administrators only;** outputs raw JSON for troubleshooting. **Do not** publish on customer- facing pages. 3. **Publish** or **Update** the page. Rendering happens in PHP; the API key stays in options, not in HTML source. #### Troubleshooting (installation) * If the test fails, verify PHP `allow_url_fopen` / firewall rules, that the API key matches your facility, and that the Entity ID matches WebSelfStorage records. * For HTTPS or mixed-content issues, ensure your site uses HTTPS for admin if your host requires it. #### Frequently Asked Questions #### How do I get an API key? You can obtain your API key from your WebSelfStorage account. Contact your storage network provider for more information about accessing the WebSelfStorage API. #### What is an Entity ID? The Entity ID is a unique identifier for your storage facility. It’s typically a 6-digit number (e.g., 019109). If you’re unsure of your Entity ID, you can leave it blank and the plugin will attempt to retrieve it from the API. #### Can I use this with multiple facilities? The free version supports a single facility. For multi-facility support, please check out [LandTech Self Storage API Premium](https://landtechwebdesigns.com/product/self-storage-api-premium/). #### Are translations included? **Free:** The plugin is translation-ready. English ships by default; you can add custom `.mo` files or use WordPress.org language packs when available. See `languages/ TRANSLATORS.txt` in the plugin. **Premium** ships pre-built `.mo` files for multiple locales and covers the full Premium UI—see _Language support_ in this readme, then [Self Storage API Premium](https://landtechwebdesigns.com/product/self-storage-api-premium/) to upgrade. #### What API version does this use? The plugin uses WebSelfStorage API v3 (API version 2.7). #### How do I display facility information on my site? Use the `[landtech_self_storage]` shortcode on any page or post. You can customize what’s displayed using the shortcode attributes: * `show_location="true"` – Display facility location information (default: true) * `show_units="true"` – Display available units (default: true) Example: `[landtech_self_storage show_location="true" show_units="true"]` #### Changelog #### 1.0.1 * Documentation: language support and translation paths for the free plugin; what Premium adds (bundled locales, RTL, in-product help). Version bump to sync readme with WordPress.org and Git. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release * Basic API integration with WebSelfStorage API v3 * Location information display * Available units display * Admin settings page for API configuration * Shortcode support for displaying facility information ### External services This plugin connects to an external API to display storage facility information and available units on your site. This is required for the plugin to function. **WebSelfStorage API (U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network)** — https://api.webselfstorage. com * **What it is and what it is used for:** The WebSelfStorage API is a service provided by U-Haul (eMove, Inc. d/b/a U-Haul Self Storage Affiliate Network). The plugin uses it to retrieve your storage facility’s location details (address, phone, hours) and available storage units with pricing so you can show that information on your WordPress site via the shortcode. * **What data is sent and when:** The plugin sends your **API key** (in the request header) and your **facility Entity ID** (in the request URL) to the API. Specifically, it sends the Entity ID to endpoints such as `/v3/location/` and `/v3/movein/` to fetch location details (address, phone, hours) and available units with pricing. No site visitor personal data is sent. Data is sent when a page or post containing the shortcode is loaded, and when an administrator uses the settings page (e. g. testing the connection). * **Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (required links):** - Terms of Service / End User License Agreement: https://webselfstorage.com/ EndUserLicenseAgreement - Privacy Policy: https://webselfstorage.com/PrivacyNotice - U-Haul legal and privacy: https://www.uhaul.com/Legal/ ## باھالاشلار ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/45e3ec849fb5ef0a3d7347088ef06223a6d642949d54a9c88bc431096d07bc77? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Plugin for connecting to WebselfStorage from U-Haul](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-for-connecting-to-webselfstorage-from-u-haul/)󠁿 [discsox](https://profiles.wordpress.org/discsox/) 2026-يىلى 18-ئاپرېل I am using the plugin to let customers reserve and rent units managed by U-Haul’s WebSelfStorage management backend. The developer addressed my improvement suggestions and bug reports in extremely timely manner (typically over night). It was a pleasure working with LandTech and the plugin allows self storage unit owners to get all the features on their website that are offered by the big names in that space without having to hire a developer to connect to the U-Haul backend. I am very impressed with the functionality and so is my customer.
