Your WordPress site has been up for a while: your brand, your design, a few years of work on your ranking. Only the booking lived elsewhere, on a second domain or subdomain the customer had to click away to. The AutoRentAI plugin brings it back where it belongs, right onto your page. The functions do not change, and neither does the security. Fleet, contracts, invoices and payments stay untouched and keep running safely on AutoRentAI. Your customers see one thing only: the booking.
1. Why the booking belongs on your own site
A lot has gone into your website: brand, trust, visibility on Google. Send a customer to a different site to book and you leave part of that at the door. Keep the booking on your site and the customer stays too.
- Brand consistency: the customer stays in your design and your navigation instead of landing on a page that suddenly looks completely different.
- Trust and conversion: a visitor who does not leave is more likely to book. Every extra click and every domain change costs you completed bookings.
- SEO stays with you: content and booking on one domain feed the same visibility instead of splitting it across two.
- One site instead of two building sites: you maintain a single presence, not a website and a separate booking page side by side.
2. A lightweight plugin, not a second system
The plugin displays the booking, nothing more. Booking, Stripe payment, invoicing, fleet and the entire management run unchanged on AutoRentAI. The plugin itself never touches payment or customer data.
- Install, enter the booking URL, drop in the shortcode. No database, no prices or vehicles to maintain in WordPress.
- No business logic in WordPress: whatever we improve in the booking system is live at once. You never have to chase it with a plugin update.
- Works with the usual themes and page builders (Gutenberg, WPBakery, Elementor). Place it as a block or shortcode and you are done.
- Switching themes breaks nothing. The booking is tied to the URL, not to the design of your site.
3. Three display modes, one booking
Not every page needs the same embedding. Three variants are available, and you can mix them per placement.
- Inline embedded (iframe): the whole booking page sits inside your page and grows automatically with its content. Either full width or within your content column.
- Search bar only: only the bar for date, location and age is embedded, and you build the rest of the page yourself. A click on Search opens the full booking flow.
- Button or popup: a styled button opens the booking in an overlay or a new tab. Works right away, ideal for getting started.
All three draw on the same, live-maintained booking. Nothing stops you from putting the search bar on the home page and the full booking on a sub-page.
4. Embedded does not mean stripped down
Inside the iframe runs the same booking as on the AutoRentAI page, in real time and with everything that belongs to it.
- Live availability and up-to-date prices come straight from your fleet.
- Coupons, duration and campaign discounts, extras and protection packages work just as they do elsewhere.
- Stripe payment including the deposit happens entirely inside the embedded context. Payment data never passes through WordPress.
- Three languages (DE/EN/ES), your contract texts, your logo, your sender address: the white-label settings apply inside the embed too.
5. You design everything around it
This is the part that is yours: everything around the booking. Text, images, offers, reviews, built with the page builder you already use.
- Booking as a building block: by shortcode or block, exactly where it sells. Right at the top, just below the vehicle gallery or on a dedicated booking page.
- Full width or content column: full-bleed across the browser or neatly inside your theme column, switchable per placement.
- Frame the search bar with your images, reviews and arguments. That way the booking fits into the page instead of taking it over.
- Campaign pages in minutes: a WordPress page with campaign copy, the booking embedded below, and the landing page is done.
6. Management stays out of it
Only the public booking is embedded. Your admin area, the customer portal and every management function cannot be embedded at all and stay reachable only on AutoRentAI.
- Admin never in an iframe: fleet, contracts, invoices, statistics and settings are blocked for external pages from the start.
- No data in the plugin: payments and customer data stay in the protected SaaS. Stripe, GDPR and VeriFactu run where they belong.
- Only your domain is cleared: the booking appears on your WordPress domain by design. Other sites cannot embed it.
- Cleanest on a subdomain like booking.your-domain.com: same origin, so no cookie issues inside the iframe.
7. Up in a few minutes
Getting from installed to booking on the page rarely takes more than a coffee break.
- Upload the "AutoRentAI Buchung" plugin to
wp-content/pluginsand activate it. - Under Settings → AutoRentAI Buchung enter your booking URL and choose the display mode.
- Add the shortcode
[autorentai_booking]to a page, in WPBakery as a Text Block, not as Raw HTML. - For inline or search bar, clear your domain for embedding in AutoRentAI once. That is it.
In short: your brand in front, our technology behind
Your own website gives you the freedom to arrange everything the way you want. The plugin sets a full booking system into it without you having to run management, payment or data protection yourself. In front, a booking that looks like your site. Behind it, technology you never see and never have to touch.
