The business requirement
Baileys Estate Agents needed SuperControl property and availability information on its WordPress website without relying on a conventional plugin implementation.
Development and integration
Impact built a standalone connector using both platforms' APIs. Property descriptions, images, floor plans and location data were synchronised, while WordPress shortcodes presented availability and pricing to visitors considering a holiday booking.

Original project detail
SuperControl API Integration to WordPress website
SuperControl is an online booking and channel management system used by 45,000 holiday rental properties around the world.
Impact was tasked with integrating the SuperControl API, for Baileys Estate Agents who have expanded into holiday rentals, to import the property details and create availability calendars for 60+ properties.
The API integration involved updating all property details every day and providing a live integration for real-time property availability for a WordPress website.
The integration was a stand alone process that used both SuperControl and WordPress API's, as opposed to creating a WordPress plugin. This allowed for greater flexibility and speed of development.
The availability was made available to WordPress pages via a short code to be consistent with current best practices.
Data integrated included:
- Property image gallery
- Description
- Floorplan
- Location
- Availability
- Pricing
