Using roomvu with an Existing Website

If you already have a website, Roomvu does not replace or take over your existing hosting. Roomvu offers a WordPress plugin that can be installed on your own WordPress site to publish content. For non-WordPress websites, Roomvu provides API access only. API usage requires your own development resources, as Roomvu does not provide custom implementation, programming, or technical support for third-party integrations. Roomvu is not responsible for compatibility, performance, or SEO outcomes on externally hosted websites using the plugin or API.

Brokerages and Teams: Website Integration Options

Website integration options beyond the WordPress plugin are available only for brokerages and teams. These integrations may include expanded content distribution or API-based connections, subject to separate agreements and technical requirements. Individual agents are supported exclusively through the WordPress plugin and do not have access to brokerage- or team-level integrations. Any API usage for brokerages or teams must be implemented and maintained by their own technical resources, as Roomvu does not provide custom development or ongoing support for external website environments.
