Prerequisites: Before starting the process, ensure that you have the following:

• IDX Broker Account: Make sure you have an active IDX Broker account.
• HighLevel Sub-Account: Set up a sub-account in HighLevel.
• CNAME Configuration: Set up a custom subdomain for your IDX Broker account. This will replace yourdomain.idxbroker.com with homes.yourdomain.com.

1. Sign Up for a One-Click Website

   To purchase a template, start by logging into your IDXAddons account using your client IDX Broker API credentials. Once logged in, navigate to this link. On the page, click the "Buy Template" button to proceed to the payment page.

   

   Important: Ensure HTTPS is enabled on your IDX Broker account to avoid security issues and ensure IDXAddons apps function correctly.

   To enable HTTPS:

   1. Log in to your client IDX Broker account.
   2. Go to Account info and enable HTTPS.
   3. Save your changes.

   If you have an IDX Broker Lite account, it will display a message saying that you need to upgrade to Platinum to get all the features (like the AI-communities). Click on the Upgrade to Platinum button to go to the IDX Broker upgrade page.

   You can continue with the setup process, but you will not be able to use the AI-communities feature, we will only generate IDX Broker Saved Links.

   

   After clicking on the "Buy Template" button, you will be redirected to the payment page.

2. Complete the multi-step form

   After completing your payment, you'll be redirected to a success page with some instructions.

   

   Click on "Go to website setup" to begin the setup process.

   Connect HighLevel Sub-Account

   Connect your HighLevel account to enable the creation of custom values in your sub-account. Click on "Connect HighLevel" to proceed, then select the appropriate sub-account from the list.

   

   Click on "Start Now" to begin the setup process.

   

   Select a name for your website and click on "Next".

   

   Select the apps that you want to add to your HighLevel website. You can select all of them or just the ones you want.

   

   You'll be presented with a list of your HighLevel forms. Choose the form you want to use for IDX Broker lead capture, and then click "Next."

   Community pages

   Select a primary community for your website. This will be the main city or county featured prominently. The available options are pulled from your MLS. We will create an IDX Broker Saved Link for this location and, for IDX Broker Platinum clients, a dedicated community page as well.

   

   Select two secondary communities for your website. We will generate IDX Broker Saved Links and create community pages for these locations as well (available for IDX Broker Platinum clients).

   

   After clicking "Next," the process will begin to create your IDX Broker Saved Links and community pages, set up the widgets, and establish the Custom Values in your HighLevel sub-account.

   After sending the data to HighLevel, the IDXAddons page will reload, and you will see the newly created values.

   
3. Clone the template

   At the end of the multi-step form, you'll receive a link to clone the website. To begin, log in at https://app.gohighlevel.com/ using your HighLevel credentials.

   Note: Logging in through a white-label domain might cause issues with the cloning link. For best results, make sure to use app.gohighlevel.com to clone the website.

   After opening the link, you'll be directed to the website clone page. Simply click "Add Website" to complete the process.

   

   A popup will appear with the Website Name prefilled. You can change the name if desired.

   Select the location or sub-account where the website will be cloned and click on "Clone Website".

   

   After clicking "Clone Website," you’ll be redirected to the Websites page. You’ll see a spinning icon next to your new website, showing it's being created.

   Note: In recent updates, HighLevel doesn't redirect you to the Websites page after cloning a website. Instead, you'll see a blank page. Go to your sub-account and click on Websites to see the new website.

   If the icon keeps spinning for over 3 minutes, refresh the page. The icon will disappear once the website is ready.

   

   Important:

   • If your MLS approval is not complete, some widgets will not display properly, e.g. Google Map Widget, IDX Broker New Widgets.
   • The IDX Integration usually takes 2 business days to be completed.
