Works the Way Base44 Does

Your pages, routes and metadata stay under your control with React's own routing. Buying Buddy widgets add the live MLS data, search and lead capture.

Buying Buddy widgets load live MLS content in the browser once your site runs, so they fit naturally into how Base44 builds and navigates your pages.

You build SEO-friendly pages in Base44 as usual, then drop in widgets for MLS search, listings and capture. Four foundation routes - results, details, market reports and communities - power the full search-to-listing flow.

Base44 uses a separate publish step: your site goes live at your Base44 Built-in URL (for example your-app.base44.app). Your editor preview runs at the same address with preview-- in front (preview--your-app.base44.app) - Base44 does not display it, but it always follows that pattern. The two are authorized separately in your Buying Buddy dashboard, so add both to see widgets in your preview and on your live site.

More Properties Will Give You More Credibility

Displaying curated MLS properties across your Base44 app is simple - configure a widget with a type and a filter.

Use the Widget Wizards in your Buying Buddy dashboard to define niche displays and hotsheet landing pages. The wizard guides you to specify what to show and gives you the configuration to use.

First, decide the widget (map, list, gallery).
Then pick the MLS criteria that define the properties to show, and the wizard turns them into a ready-to-use widget.

Add that widget to any page to show your curated displays of properties.

Base44 IDX Plugin - Common Questions

Base44's AI can do the whole install for you from our Base44 AI prompts. You paste one line for each step into the Base44 chat and it makes the changes - no coding needed.

In more detail, this is what happens:

Base44 builds a React app, so its AI installs the official @buyingbuddy/react package and wraps your app once with <BuyingBuddyProvider activationKey="your-key">.
It adds <BuyingBuddyWidget> components - a search form, your foundation pages and the disclaimer.
You publish, then authorize your published Base44 domain (your Built-in URL) and your preview domain in your dashboard.

Yes. If you would rather not use the AI prompt, you can install the package yourself:

Install @buyingbuddy/react and wrap your app once with <BuyingBuddyProvider activationKey="your-key">.
Add <BuyingBuddyWidget> components - a search form, your foundation pages (results, details, market report, communities), and the disclaimer.
Publish, then authorize your published Base44 domain (your Built-in URL) and your preview domain in your dashboard.

The widgets render in the browser and hook into React's component lifecycle, so they initialize correctly in single-page apps and with client-side navigation.

No. Paste our prompt into the Base44 chat and it installs the package, adds the provider and drops in the widgets for you.

Yes, once its domain is authorized. Widgets only load on domains registered to your account, and Base44's preview and published sites are authorized separately. Base44 does not display the preview domain, but it follows a fixed pattern: it is your Base44 Built-in URL with preview-- in front - for example your-app.base44.app becomes preview--your-app.base44.app. Add both in Website Options in your Buying Buddy dashboard.

No. There are no API keys to obtain and nothing to host. Buying Buddy receives the IDX feed directly from the MLS and the widgets display it in your Base44 app. An IDX license and MLS approval are required to show live data - a standard process we help you with - and until approval, widgets show our Demonstration MLS.
