## Descriere

BingoRentals allows you to embed a complete car rental booking system on your WordPress
website. It connects to your BingoRentals.com installation via API, enabling customers
to:

 * Search for available cars by date and location
 * View car details, specifications, and pricing
 * Complete reservations directly on your WordPress site
 * Receive confirmation emails automatically

**Features:**

 * **Easy Setup** – Just enter your API URL and tenant slug (for SaaS)
 * **SaaS & Standalone Support** – Works with both standalone and multi-tenant BingoRentals
   installations
 * **Shortcode Integration** – Add `[wpcr_car_rental]` to any page or post
 * **Auto Language Detection** – Detects visitor country via IP (Romania  Romanian,
   else English)
 * **Language Switcher** – Visitors can manually switch between languages
 * **Customizable Appearance** – Light/dark themes, custom colors
 * **Smart Caching** – Locations cached for 1 hour, with manual clear option
 * **Mobile Responsive** – Works perfectly on all devices
 * **Multiple Languages** – English and Romanian built-in

### Shortcode Usage

Basic usage:
 [wpcr_car_rental]

With options:
 [car_rental show_locations=”true” show_categories=”true” show_lang_switch
=”true” theme=”light” primary_color=”#0d6efd”]

**Available Options:**

 * `show_locations` – Show pickup/return location dropdowns (true/false)
 * `show_categories` – Show category filter (true/false)
 * `show_lang_switch` – Show language switcher buttons (true/false)
 * `theme` – Color theme: „light” or „dark”
 * `primary_color` – Custom primary color (hex code)

### External Services

This plugin connects to the following external services:

#### Bingorentals.com API (your own installation)

The plugin communicates with the BingoRentals API URL you configure in the settings.
This is your own self-hosted or SaaS installation of BingoRentals. Data sent includes:
search parameters (dates, location IDs, category), reservation details, and tenant
slug. This data is sent whenever a visitor submits the search form or the fleet 
widget loads. You control this service — refer to your own privacy policy and terms.

#### ipapi.co (IP-based language detection)

When automatic language detection is enabled (default: on), the plugin sends the
visitor’s IP address to ipapi.co to determine their country. This is used solely
to select the default display language (Romanian for Romania/Moldova, English for
all others). No personal data beyond the IP address is transmitted. Visitors can
override the detected language manually at any time.

 * Service URL: https://ipapi.co
 * What is sent: visitor IP address (implicit in the HTTP request)
 * When: on each page load where the booking form is displayed, if auto-detect language
   is enabled
 * Terms of Service: https://ipapi.co/terms/
 * Privacy Policy: https://ipapi.co/privacy/

To disable this feature, go to **Settings  BingoRentals** and set **Auto-detect 
Language** to **No**.

## Instalare

 1. Upload the `bingorentals` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to Settings  BingoRentals
 4. Enter your BingoRentals API URL
 5. For SaaS: Enter your tenant slug (e.g., „acme” from yoursite.com/app/acme/)
 6. Add `[wpcr_car_rental]` shortcode to any page

## Întrebări frecvente

### What is BingoRentals?

BingoRentals is a car rental management system available in both standalone and 
multi-tenant (SaaS) editions. This plugin connects to your BingoRentals installation
via API.

### What is a tenant slug?

For SaaS installations, each company has a unique slug (e.g., „acme”). Find it in
your dashboard URL: yoursite.com/app/**acme**/

### Do I need an API key?

The API key is optional and depends on your installation. If your API requires authentication,
enter the key in the plugin settings.

### Why do locations disappear after some time?

This was fixed in v1.1.0. Locations are now cached for 1 hour. If you still have
issues, click „Clear Cache” in plugin settings.

### How does auto-language detection work?

The plugin detects visitor’s country via IP using ip-api.com. If the visitor is 
from Romania, it shows Romanian. Everyone else sees English. Visitors can override
this with the language switcher, and their choice is remembered.

### Can I disable auto-language detection?

Yes, set „Auto-detect Language” to „No” in plugin settings. The form will use your
default language.
