Why we build our own

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.

How we help

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.

Why operators come asking

Plugin problems we hear all the time.

Problem

"We use Stora but our website doesn't talk to it."

Fix

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.

Problem

"Our quoter is an iframe and it looks awful on mobile."

Fix

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.

Problem

"We have multiple facilities but our quoter only handles one."

Fix

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.

Problem

"Customers can't book online, they have to call."

Fix

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.

Problem

"Our website plugin breaks every time WP updates."

Fix

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.

Problem

"We can't tell if occupancy is actually improving."

Fix

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.

How we work

A clear process. No black boxes.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Which plugins fit, what's the operations stack, what integrations we need to build/configure.

  2. 02

    Configure + brand

    Plugins inherit your site styling. Quoter pricing rules, booking flow logic, payment provider all set up to your operation.

  3. 03

    Integrate + test

    API connection to your operations system, end-to-end test bookings, edge-case handling, mobile QA on real devices.

  4. 04

    Launch + support

    Soft launch, monitoring, post-launch tweaks based on real bookings, included in support retainer.

Amax Connect — Stora storefront, booking & CRM

Self-storage · Live on real operator sites
The problem

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.

What we did

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.

The outcome

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.

How we ship + support these

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.

Self-Storage FAQ

You're probably wondering…

Can't find what you need? Ask us directly.

Amax Connect is the customer-facing side — storefront, availability, booking and the CRM that chases leads. Amax Pulse is the operator-facing side — a dashboard showing occupancy, net absorption, and where to focus next. They share the same Stora connection and are designed to be used together, but Pulse isn’t a requirement for running Connect.
Generally no. The plugins are delivered with installation, configuration, and integration support — that’s most of the value. Operators with strong in-house dev teams who want self-managed access can ask, and we’ll consider on a case-by-case basis.
Yes — SiteLink, storEDGE, Easystorage, and custom CRMs are all integrations we’ve done. If your system has an API, we can integrate. We also build webhook + email-based fallback flows for systems without APIs.
Stora’s native widget is iframe-based. Amax Connect renders natively into WordPress, inherits your site styling, performs better on mobile, supports SEO better, and adds a CRM pipeline on top. If you’re already happy with Stora’s native widget, you don’t need us. If you want a properly integrated site with lead follow-up built in, that’s what Amax Connect delivers.
Yes — Stripe and GoCardless out of the box. Deposit at booking, monthly billing handled by your operations system. We can also do full pay-at-booking flows for short-term storage, and bespoke payment models for non-standard rentals.
We monitor Stora’s API changes and update proactively — for example, when Stora changed how its webhooks are signed, we caught and fixed it as part of a routine release. Operators on the support retainer get fixes automatically, no action needed on your end.
Yes — Storage Booking is designed for single-facility operators specifically. Storage Quoter has both single and multi versions. Amax Connect and Amax Pulse work for any operator on Stora, single or multi.
A native availability calendar UI, deeper CRM automation around abandoned bookings, and Amax Pulse moving toward richer occupancy forecasting. Driven by what active operators ask for; happy to share specifics on a discovery call.
