What's new in Amax Connect
We build directly on Stora's API as it evolves, and ship improvements to the product you're already using. Here's what's changed since we launched on the Stora Marketplace, most recent first.
Know which adverts actually fill units
Stora records no click ID, campaign or keyword anywhere, so a booking could never be traced back to the advert that produced it. Amax Connect now remembers how each customer first arrived at your site and writes it onto their Stora contact and their order. A new Attribution tab then shows which campaigns produced real customers, not just enquiries, using Stora's own record of who became a tenant. Divide your spend by the customer count and you have your cost per let. Capture waits for marketing consent by default, and recognises the common cookie banners automatically.
Live availability, and prices by the week
Your storefront now counts how many units of each size are genuinely free, rather than only showing whether a size is switched on for booking. Sizes running low can show an honest “only 2 left”, and a size with nothing free reads as fully booked instead of quietly taking enquiries. You can also show a second price alongside the main one, so a monthly rate can sit next to the weekly figure plenty of customers actually think in. It only ever shows a price you have set in Stora yourself, never one worked out by dividing, so nothing on the card can disagree with the checkout.
Better information on every enquiry
Your forms can now ask how someone heard about you and what they need storage for, and whether they are booking personally or as a business, with company and VAT details where it applies. Every answer lands on their Stora contact, so your reports fill with what customers actually told you. When somebody already in Stora gets in touch again, anything missing from their record is filled in rather than discarded, and existing details are never overwritten. Repeat enquiries from a familiar phone number are recognised instead of creating a duplicate, and current customers are flagged as such so a second unit is treated as the opportunity it is.
Choose your storefront layout, and smarter group-based filters
Pick the look that suits your site from ready-made layouts: a classic grid, a friendly “Space Finder” that leads with relatable sizes, or a compact list. Switch any time from your dashboard, no code. Visitors also get smarter filters that group your units by what matters (ground or upper floor, drive-up, power and more), read straight from your live Stora data.
Faster, more reliable abandoned-booking recovery
We build on Stora's API the day it updates. The latest release lets us hand customers their real, non-expiring payment link the moment a booking stalls, and detect an abandoned booking instantly instead of waiting on an hourly check, so recovery happens sooner, on the actual order they started.
Amax Pulse launches: occupancy intelligence for your Stora account
A companion product to Amax Connect on the same Stora connection. Amax Pulse tracks physical and economic occupancy across every site, shows demand and net absorption, and gives you clear, ranked actions on what to do next to fill more units.
CRM pipeline: every enquiry and booking becomes a deal you can track
Every enquiry, waitlist signup and abandoned booking now opens automatically as a deal in your Stora CRM, moves stage as it progresses, and raises a task so nothing falls through. Win or lose, you'll always know where it stands.
Live availability and pricing, the instant it changes in Stora
Amax Connect now listens for live updates from Stora. When a unit becomes available, gets reserved, or its price changes, your website reflects it immediately, rather than waiting for a cache to expire.
Capture a lead before the booking is even finished
An opt-in setting captures a visitor's name and email as soon as they start a booking, before they've paid. If they don't finish, you've still got a contact to follow up with, not a lost visitor.
Amax Connect approved on the Stora Marketplace
Our first stable release: live availability and dynamic pricing with location-aware unit cards, a “what size do I need?” helper for undecided customers, accessible and translatable booking flows, and native on-site booking that syncs straight back to Stora.
