I run a WordPress-based booking site and manage all inventory in the Rental Ready PMS. I need a custom plugin that pulls live data from Rental Ready so guests can: • search and filter available properties in real time • see accurate rates, photos, and key details pulled directly from the PMS • click a “Book Now” button that redirects them back to my main WordPress checkout flow Rental Ready already exposes its data through an API; I will supply the credentials and endpoint documentation. Your job is to create a lightweight, well-structured WordPress plugin (PHP, REST API, JSON) that: 1. Syncs availability, pricing, and basic unit information on demand or at a short interval I can set in the admin. 2. Provides Gutenberg blocks and a shortcode so I can drop the search box and results grid anywhere on the site. 3. Keeps the UI consistent with my existing theme and remains translation-ready (.pot file). 4. Handles errors gracefully—if the PMS is unreachable, users should see a friendly message rather than a blank page. Deliverables • The finished plugin packaged in a ZIP ready for upload • A brief read-me explaining installation, required API keys, and how to place the search elements • Source commented clearly enough that another developer can extend it later Acceptance criteria ✓ A visitor can filter properties by dates, location, and guest count and always get the same availability the PMS would show ✓ Selecting a property leads to my existing booking page with the correct unit and dates pre-filled ✓ No console errors, PHP warnings, or theme conflicts on WordPress 6.x If you have built WordPress integrations for Cloudbeds, Guesty, Hostaway, or similar systems, you will be familiar with the workflow—and that experience will be a plus.
