7.2 RentSyst Wordpress Plugin
The RentSyst plugin is easily integrated with the website.
It automatically displays all the orders in the CRM system that came from the website. By activating the plugin, you synchronize the entire fleet and groups of vehicles that you have added to your personal RentSyst account.
Please pay attention, that our plugin is designed for standard WP redactor and cannot be fully compatible with Elementor, DIVI Builder, or similar WP builders.
"/wp-json/rentsyst/v1/access-token" -- this url cannot be cached under any circumstances!
We were made a mechanism for updating the access token through the rest api in order to avoid caching. And in the REST API, our developer added headers for our http request that say that it cannot be cached, but your plugin is configured to force caching of all rest requests.
