Works the Way Lovable 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 Lovable builds and navigates your pages.

You build SEO-friendly pages in Lovable 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.

Buying Buddy widgets work on both your Lovable preview domain and your published site, so you can build and test as you go.

More Properties Will Give You More Credibility

Displaying curated MLS properties across your Lovable 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 prompt and widget.

Add it to any page to show your curated displays of properties.

Lovable IDX Plugin - Common Questions

Lovable can do the whole install for you from our Lovable AI prompts. You paste one line for each step and Lovable makes the changes - no coding needed.

Prefer to install it by hand? The manual steps are in the next question.

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 Lovable domain 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 Lovable and it installs the package, adds the provider and drops in the widgets for you.

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 Lovable 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.
