Automating Property Listings from PMS to Wix Studio

We’re building a new property management website in Wix Studio and need a way to automatically update rental listings from our Property Management System (PMS), MRI Palace.

What We Need:

We want our new website to dynamically fetch property listings from MRI Palace so that when we create a new listing in MRI Palace, it automatically appears on our site. This functionality existed on our previous website (Auckland homes for rent on Staircase Rental Properties | Staircase Property Management Ltd), and we need to replicate it in Wix Studio.

Questions:

  • Has anyone successfully integrated a PMS (like MRI Palace) with Wix Studio?
  • What’s the best way to sync external data with Wix Data Collections?
  • Any advice on using API connections, webhooks, or third-party integrations for this?

Looking forward to any insights or recommendations! Thanks in advance.

I don’t know anything about that system specifcally so will be making a few assumpitons, but on your Wix Studio site you will want to create an http function

This will expose a url that you can then use in that PMS system so that whenever a data change happens, it will hit that Studio endpoint you create.

That endpoint can do whatever you want - save the data to a collection that is hooked up to dynamic pages for example.

It is very important when you make this endpoint to add security checks in the code since you will be allowing the PMS to send data and update your database. You will want to make sure that you limit your endpoint to only work in that scenario.

Do you have the API documentation for MRI Palace? Because such integration are feasible only If they provide you data through API’s.

Wix studio have the feature to integrate such API to list the data on your website.

@Wolf_Creatives We had recently developed a solution for Mitchell Torre https://www.mitchelltorre.com.au/ (aussie based) where they used a PMS called box+dice. Which I assume is similar to MRI palace.

You can get in touch with me for a solution but it would primarily have to do with APIs that MRI palace has.
