Self-storage plugins we build + ship.
Amax Connect, Amax Pulse, Storage Quoter, Storage Booking: four production-grade WordPress plugins built specifically for self-storage operators. Live on real operator sites, processing real bookings.
Off-the-shelf widgets never quite fit. So we built our own.
After building a dozen self-storage sites we kept hitting the same wall: every operator wants the same things: live availability, instant quotes, online bookings, a clear read on occupancy, but the off-the-shelf widgets either don't exist or are clunky iframes that break the user experience.
So we built our own. Four plugins now run on real operator sites, evolved over real-world bookings, edge cases, and support requests. They’re not theoretical. Every feature exists because an actual storage operator needed it.
They’re not on the WordPress Plugin Directory because they’re built for managed delivery. We install them, configure them, integrate them with your operations stack, and support them. That control is what lets us actually guarantee they work for your specific setup.
If you’re a storage operator on WordPress (or thinking about it), and you need any of: a proper on-brand storefront and CRM for Stora, a clear read on occupancy, multi-location quoting, or self-serve booking: these are the tools we use, and they cost nothing extra when bundled with a build retainer.
Plugins, not widgets
Iframes embedded into pages look bad and convert badly: different fonts, different spacing, broken on mobile, slow to load. Our plugins render natively into WordPress so the booking flow and dashboards look and behave like part of your site. Same fonts, same colours, same brand. The user never knows there’s a plugin involved. They just see the brand they trust.
Built on Stora's real API, kept current
Amax Connect and Amax Pulse both talk to Stora’s Public API directly: live availability, pricing, occupancy, bookings. When Stora ships new API capabilities, we build against them quickly: recent releases have added non-expiring payment links and native abandoned-booking recovery. Every edge case we’ve hit, we’ve fixed. Every operator request we’ve heard from one client, we’ve thought about for the others.
Four plugins. All in production.
A quick visual tour. Click any card to skip to the section that explains it in detail.
Amax Connect
Connects WordPress to Stora. Live unit availability, pricing, and customer accounts rendered natively into your site.
Storage Quoter
Instant quote calculator for single or multi-facility operators. Visitor picks location, unit, dates: gets a price in 3 clicks.
Storage Booking
End-to-end booking flow with Stripe / GoCardless deposit, automated confirmation, and CRM sync. Built for single-location operators.
Amax Pulse
Turns your Stora data into physical and economic occupancy, net absorption, and ranked recommendations, so you know where the gaps are before they cost you.
Four plugins. Built for storage.
Built for Self-Storage.
Amax Connect: storefront, booking & CRM
Live unit availability, pricing and a full booking flow rendered natively into your site, plus a built-in CRM pipeline that opens a deal on every enquiry, wins it on booking, and automatically recovers abandoned bookings.
Amax Pulse: occupancy intelligence
A dashboard that turns your Stora data into physical and economic occupancy, net absorption, and ranked recommendations, so you know where the gaps are before they cost you.
Storage Quoter (multi)
Multi-facility quote calculator. Visitor picks location, unit type, dates: gets an instant quote with full size comparison. Live in production, configurable per operator.
Storage Booking (single)
End-to-end booking flow for single-location operators. Unit selection, customer details, deposit payment, automated email + SMS confirmation, lands in your CRM.
White-label, brand-matched
All four plugins inherit your site's typography, colours, and spacing. They look like native pages, not third-party widgets bolted on.
Maintained + improved
Every plugin gets quarterly updates: bug fixes, feature additions, security patches. Improvements requested by one operator land for everyone.
Plugin problems we hear all the time.
"We use Stora but our website doesn't talk to it."
That’s exactly what Amax Connect solves. Live unit availability, pricing, customer login, booking sync, all on your WordPress site, all reading from your Stora data. We install + configure it as part of any build that needs it.
"Our quoter is an iframe and it looks awful on mobile."
Rebuild it as a native plugin. Storage Quoter renders inside WordPress, inherits your styling, works perfectly on mobile, and processes quotes far faster than third-party iframes.
"We have multiple facilities but our quoter only handles one."
The multi-facility version of Storage Quoter handles location selection, per-facility pricing, and per-facility availability. Built specifically for operators with 2-20+ sites.
"Customers can't book online, they have to call."
Storage Booking handles the full flow: unit selection, customer details, deposit via Stripe / GoCardless, confirmation. Your operations team gets the booking in their CRM ready for move-in. Reduces phone-tag dramatically.
"Our website plugin breaks every time WP updates."
That’s an off-the-shelf-plugin problem. Our plugins are tested against every major WordPress release before we ship updates. We’re proactive: usually we update ahead of WP releasing the new core, so by the time your site auto-updates, our plugins are already compatible.
"We can't tell if occupancy is actually improving."
That’s what Amax Pulse is built for: physical and economic occupancy, net absorption and ranked recommendations pulled straight from your real Stora data, not a spreadsheet guess.

\t\t\tAmax Connect: Stora storefront, booking & CRM
Stora is a powerful operations system, but its native website tools are limited iframes. No proper on-brand storefront, and no CRM to chase leads once they land on the site.
Built Amax Connect as a WordPress plugin that authenticates with Stora through a proxy-brokered OAuth flow (no Stora client secrets stored in the plugin itself), then renders live availability, pricing and a full booking flow natively into WordPress. A built-in CRM pipeline opens a deal on every enquiry, automatically wins it when a booking completes, and recovers abandoned bookings with a follow-up email and task.
Live in production and under continuous development. Most recently shipping native abandoned-booking recovery built on Stora's own non-expiring payment links. New features ship as quarterly releases across every site running the plugin.
Bundled with builds. Maintained for you.
These aren't sold as standalone licenses. They're delivered with a build or a retainer: installed, configured, integrated, and supported as part of the engagement.
Bundled, not licensed
If we're building or maintaining your site, the relevant plugins are included. No per-seat license, no annual renewal fee. They're tools we ship to do the job we're hired for.
Quarterly improvement releases
Each plugin gets a release every quarter: bug fixes, security updates, new features requested by clients. Tested against latest WP core before shipping.
Custom features when they make sense
If you need something specific that fits within the plugin's scope, we'll usually build it, and it ships to all clients via the next release. Self-funded R&D for the sector.
Documentation + admin UI
Every plugin has an admin panel for non-developer staff to manage pricing, units, copy, payment settings: without going near the code.
Sector-specific support
Support tickets are handled by the team who built the plugins, who also build storage sites. Not generic WordPress support: sector-aware support.
