Summary

Learn how to upload property listings from Box+Dice to your agency website using the REA XML listing format.

This article covers:

About website listing uploads

Box+Dice can automatically upload property listings to your agency website, similar to how listings are distributed to major property portals.

Listings are exported using the REA XML format, which is a standard listing data structure used by many real estate portals and websites.

If your website supports REA XML imports, your developer can configure the site to receive listing files from Box+Dice via FTP.

Requirements for website integration

To enable listing uploads to your website, your web developer or hosting provider must supply the FTP access details for the server where listing files will be uploaded.

Required Information

Provide the following details to the Box+Dice support team:

  • Agent ID - This must be unique to the hosting environment

If required, the Box+Dice team can generate one for you.

  • FTP Hostname
  • FTP Username
  • FTP Password

Once these details are provided, the Box+Dice team can configure the listing feed.

Note: Box+Dice can only upload files to the /upload subfolder of the FTP user. If your website requires the files to be placed in a specific folder, your hosting provider must configure the FTP user's root directory to point to the correct folder location.
