How to Sign Up for Showcase IDX

  • Updated

Thanks for your interest in using Showcase IDX on your WordPress website! We are excited to extend a free trial of our premium plan for 10 days. Benefit from a user-friendly property search, 87% additional traffic from Google, and improved lead conversion.  There are over 13 million consumers using our search on agent websites!

You will first need to sign up for a new account.

It is important to have all of the required information prior to starting this process and beginning to complete the sign up form.

Step 1. Complete Sign Up Form

  • Complete the first page of the sign up form by filling in your information. Pick a persona so we know who you are.

  • The second page of the sign up form will ask you which MLS you need. Enter a name or acronym in the search bar to find the MLS you need. Not sure or want to trial with Demo data? Check the box below the MLS field to opt into Demo data. You can add live MLS data later.
    *If your MLS is not currently available, select Demo data for now. We can add MLSs on request. Someone will reach out to you to get more information from you.  Here is our coverage page to confirm your MLS is covered.
  • If you are working with a developer, please input their information in the spaces provided
  • Let us know if you are the Designated Managing Broker. If you are NOT the broker, you will need to provide the broker's name and email. This is sometimes required to prepare the MLS IDX Agreement for the IDX display approval.

Step 2. Receive Login & Install Instructions

You will receive your login information and install instructions immediately after you signup. You will have 10 days to trial with demo data (data based in Washinton) while you go through MLS approval.

Your 10-day free trial with local MLS data will be reset once your MLS approves you for IDX display.

Step 3. MLS Paperwork & Approval

MLS approval will be required in order to have your local MLS data on your website. You will receive the required MLS paperwork to get you approved by your MLS. In some cases, the paperwork contains instructions for the agent to complete on their end. The Dropbox Sign documents should be carefully read and instructions carried out promptly to avoid delays. 

Once approved, you'll be notified that your local MLS data has been added to your account and the trial time will restart for 10 days.

Step 4. Activate Your Subscription

After MLS approval, don't forget to activate your subscription to keep the IDX active on your website and start your recurring billing for the service. We recommend doing this before the trial expires. 

Note

Your trial is completely free with full premium access. We also offer assisted set-up to help you get the plugin installed and working on your website quickly should you need it.
