The app store is your central hub for connecting RentalTide to third-party services and enabling add-on products. Browse available integrations, install them in a few clicks, and manage everything from one place. Navigate to Admin > App Store in the sidebar.
Page layout
The app store has two main views:
- My Apps -- shows all currently installed integrations with their connection status, setup date, and quick-access configuration buttons.
- Discover -- browse all available integrations organized by category, with search and filtering.

Installing an integration
- Navigate to the Discover tab or use the search bar to find an integration.
- Click the app card to view its details, features, pricing, and required permissions.
- Click Install or Connect.
- Complete the authorization flow -- this varies by integration:
- OAuth integrations (Google Calendar, Xero, QuickBooks, Wave) redirect you to the provider to authorize access.
- API key integrations (Meta Conversion API, TikTok Pixel, WhatsApp) require you to enter credentials from the provider's dashboard.
- One-click integrations (Google Tags, Webhooks, Custom Code) are configured directly in RentalTide.
- The app appears in My Apps once connected.

| Pricing type | Examples |

| Free | Google Calendar, Google Tags, WordPress, Webhooks, Meta Conversion API, TikTok Pixel |

API keys
The API Key integration lets you access RentalTide data programmatically. Generate keys from the API Key app card. Keys are scoped to your account and rate-limited. Full API documentation is available at https://public.api.rentaltide.com/.
Custom code
The Custom Code Block integration lets you inject custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into your booking pages:
- Header code -- injected into the page
<head>(useful for analytics scripts, chat widgets) - Footer code -- injected before the closing
</body>tag - Custom CSS -- additional stylesheets applied to your booking pages
Webhooks
Configure HTTP webhook endpoints to receive real-time notifications for events including:
- Booking created, updated, or cancelled
- Calendar sync updates
Webhooks send POST requests with JSON payloads to your specified URL.
Accounting integrations
Xero, QuickBooks, and Wave integrations support:
- Automatic transaction sync and daily sales invoice creation
- GL code mapping between RentalTide ledger codes and your chart of accounts
- Bank account integration
- OAuth token management (tokens refresh automatically; Xero tokens expire after 60 days of inactivity)
All OAuth integrations use secure authorization -- RentalTide never stores your third-party passwords. Review the permissions each app requests before installing. Uninstall apps you no longer use to keep your account clean. Some integrations (like Google Calendar) are per-operator, meaning each staff member can connect their own calendar.
App not connecting -- Try uninstalling and reinstalling the integration. Make sure you complete the full authorization flow in the popup window.
OAuth token expired -- For Xero and QuickBooks, reconnect from the My Apps view. Tokens expire if not refreshed within the provider's window (60 days for Xero).
App installed but not working -- Some integrations require additional configuration after installation (API keys, webhook URLs, GL code mapping). Check the app's settings panel in My Apps.
Webhook not firing -- Verify the endpoint URL is correct and publicly accessible. Check that the events you want are enabled in the webhook configuration.
