Stop typing car data into your website. Automotive Inventory Importer automatically syncs your vehicle inventory from any XML or CSV feed into WordPress, creating professional listings your customers will love.<\/p>\n\n
Whether you run a used car lot with 10 vehicles or a multi-location dealership with 500+, this plugin handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on selling cars.<\/p>\n\n
No DMS lock-in, no theme lock-in, and no language lock-in: it syncs with any DMS export, works with any WordPress theme, and is fully translation-ready with Italian included.<\/p>\n\n
Our smart field mapping system auto-detects feed structure and works out of the box with exports from every major dealer management system, including:<\/p>\n\n
No custom development. No DMS lock-in. No coding required. Map your feed once, and the plugin keeps your inventory in sync forever.<\/p>\n\n
No DMS Lock-In \u2014 Sync With Any DMS Export<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Unlike other plugins that tie you to a single provider, this one works with any flat XML or CSV export from any dealer management system \u2014 vAuto, HomeNet, Dealer.com, CDK, Reynolds & Reynolds, Tekion, PBS, Frazer, DealerCenter, and dozens more. Our smart field mapping auto-detects your feed's fields, shows you sample values, and lets you map them to the right places. Map your feed once and you're done.<\/p>\n\n Bring Your Own Theme \u2014 Works With Any WordPress Theme<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The plugin is fully theme-agnostic. It renders beautifully on any WordPress theme and ships its own optional listing and detail templates that adopt your theme's styling. It also plays nicely alongside popular automotive themes such as Motors (StylemixThemes), Car Dealer, AutoTrader, Listingo, and Wheels \u2014 you're never locked into one look.<\/p>\n\n Speaks Your Customers' Language \u2014 Multilingual & Translation-Ready<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The plugin is fully translation-ready, and a complete Italian translation is included out of the box. The admin settings and the customer-facing vehicle pages it creates display in your site's language automatically. More languages are welcome \u2014 anyone can contribute or improve a translation for the free version through the WordPress.org community. (Your imported vehicle data \u2014 make, model, descriptions \u2014 is always kept exactly as it comes from your feed.)<\/p>\n\n Bring Your Own Inventory Plugin \u2014 Import Into Any Post Type (Pro)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Already using a dealership theme or inventory plugin? With Pro, point the importer at the custom post type your existing setup already uses \u2014 such as Inventory Presser, the Motors \u2013 Car Dealership & Listing plugin, AutoListings, or WP-CarManager \u2014 and your feed data flows straight into it, displayed by the tools you already have. The free version imports into the plugin's built-in Vehicles section.<\/p>\n\n Compatible With Google, Meta, and Microsoft Vehicle Listing Standards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The plugin imports and stores data using field names compatible with the Google Vehicle Listings feed specification (VIN, make, model, trim, year, mileage, condition, price, image_link, dealership_name, dealership_address). Pro version adds Schema.org Vehicle JSON-LD markup, making your vehicle pages eligible for Google rich results.<\/p>\n\n Set It and Forget It<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Configure your feed URL, map your fields, and choose a sync schedule. The plugin automatically checks for changes and keeps your website in sync with your physical lot. New vehicle on the lot? It appears on your website. Vehicle sold? It's automatically removed.<\/p>\n\n Professional Listings Out of the Box<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Your vehicles display in a clean, responsive grid with search and filter. Each listing includes an image gallery, formatted pricing, and a detailed specs table. No coding or design skills needed.<\/p>\n\n Import & Sync<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Frontend Display<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Administration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The free version covers small lots beautifully. When you're ready to grow, Pro unlocks the tools that turn your inventory pages into a selling machine:<\/p>\n\n On the roadmap for Pro after launch: bulk edit and multi-location support.<\/p>\n\n Learn more at https:\/\/ibexoft.com\/products\/automotive-inventory-import-sync-car-dealer-feeds\/.<\/p>\n\n We actively develop and improve this plugin based on user feedback. If you have a feature request, bug report, or suggestion, please use the support forum or visit ibexoft.com.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. The smart field mapping system auto-detects feed structure and works with any flat XML or CSV export. We have verified compatibility with feeds from vAuto, HomeNet, Dealer.com, VinSolutions, Dealertrack, CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, DealerSocket, DealerCenter, AutoManager, Frazer, Wayne Reaves, DealerCar Search, ELEAD, and any custom DMS that can export an XML or CSV file accessible via URL or server path. No custom development required \u2014 just map your fields once.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The plugin's field structure aligns with Google's required attributes (VIN, make, model, trim, year, mileage, condition, price, image_link, dealership_name, dealership_address). The Pro version adds Schema.org Vehicle JSON-LD markup, making your vehicle detail pages eligible for Google's vehicle rich results.<\/p><\/dd>\n The plugin imports and stores all the standard fields required by Meta Automotive Inventory Ads and Microsoft Advertising vehicle catalogs. A separate companion plugin, Vehicle Feed Exporter, is in development to push your inventory directly to Google Merchant Center, Meta Catalog, and Microsoft Advertising.<\/p><\/dd>\n Any standard CSV with a header row and any flat XML with two levels (root > vehicle > fields). Field names don\u2019t matter \u2014 you map them in the settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The plugin is fully theme-agnostic. It also provides its own frontend templates (optional) for listing and detail pages that adapt to your theme\u2019s styling.<\/p><\/dd>\n You can configure the plugin to automatically draft, trash, or mark as sold any vehicle that disappears from your feed. No manual cleanup required.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. All imported fields are editable in the WordPress editor. Note that manual edits may be overwritten on the next sync unless you use the upcoming field lock feature in the Pro version.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The plugin downloads all images from your feed into the WordPress Media Library, sets the first as the featured image, and displays all images in a gallery on the detail page.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. The import runs via WordPress cron in the background. Images are downloaded once and cached in your Media Library. Frontend pages use standard WordPress queries.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The plugin is fully translation-ready, and a complete Italian (it_IT) translation is included out of the box \u2014 the admin settings and the customer-facing vehicle pages display in Italian automatically when your site language is set to Italiano. More languages are welcome: anyone can contribute or improve a translation for the free version at https:\/\/translate.wordpress.org\/projects\/wp-plugins\/automotive-feed-import\/.<\/p><\/dd>\n Please use the WordPress.org support forum for this plugin, or visit https:\/\/ibexoft.com\/products\/automotive-inventory-import-sync-car-dealer-feeds\/ for direct support.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes \u2014 this is a Pro feature. Go to Automotive Sync \u2192 Settings \u2192 Feed & Sync<\/strong> and use the Import Vehicles Into<\/strong> dropdown to pick any custom post type registered on your site \u2014 for example one provided by Inventory Presser, the Motors \u2013 Car Dealership & Listing plugin, AutoListings, WP-CarManager, a dealership theme, or your agency's own setup. The plugin will write feed data into that post type instead of the built-in Vehicles section, so the other plugin or theme can display it using its own templates. (The free version imports into the built-in Vehicles section.)<\/p><\/dd>\n The plugin tags every post it creates with an internal marker so it can tell its own data apart from posts you created manually. Stale-listing actions and existence checks only ever touch posts carrying that marker, so your manually-created listings are never modified or deleted by the importer.<\/p>\n\n That said, importing into another plugin's post type touches data that plugin owns. Please follow this checklist before your first import into a third-party post type:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n We are not responsible for any data loss, display issues, or compatibility problems caused by importing into a post type managed by another plugin or theme.<\/strong> Their updates can change how data is stored or displayed at any time. The author of this plugin cannot guarantee compatibility with every third-party plugin or theme. Use this feature with care.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nFeatures<\/h4>\n\n
