01 / SOURCE DETAILS
This plugin exists for one purpose: connecting a car dealer’s WordPress site to the Doorlinken Voorraad (DV) service at doorlinkenvoorraad.nl (VWE/Hexon). It registers an occasions custom post type and receives every stock mutation — add, change, delete — in real time from that coupling, so the inventory on the site always matches the dealer’s own stock administration. Without an active DV coupling there is no inventory to show. See the FAQ below. This plugin is made by Converzo. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or supported by VWE, Hexon or Doorlinken Voorraad; those names are used only to describe which service the plugin connects to. Features Real-time push coupling. The service sends each mutation as a single <voertuig actie="add|change|delete"> document to a protected REST endpoint on your site, secured with HTTP Basic Auth. Listing page with server-side filters: make, model, fuel, transmission, price range and sorting. Optional passenger car / commercial vehicle switch above the listing filters (“All vehicles / Personenauto’s / Bedrijfswagens”). Off by default, and only shown when commercial vehicles are actually in stock. Detail page per vehicle: photo gallery, specifications, description, options and a contact block with your company details. Photo lightbox. Clicking the main photo or any thumbnail opens that photo full screen, with previous/next arrows, keyboard navigation (arrow keys, Esc) and swiping on mobile. Sticky info panel. On desktop the panel with price, specifications and call-to-action buttons stays in view while visitors scroll through the description and options. Colours that match your site. Keep the plugin’s default colours, let the plugin follow your theme’s primary colour automatically (block themes, Elementor, Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress), or pick your own. Configurable company details — name, address, phone, e-mail and contact URL, from the settings screen. Safe by design. An empty or failed feed never removes existing stock. The incremental coupling never performs a “trash missing” sync. Per-vehicle lock. Mark a vehicle as “do not overwrite” and the feed leaves your manual edits alone. Optional bulk import from a DV XML feed URL. Renders inside the active theme, using get_header() and get_footer() . External services This plugin communicates with the “Doorlinken Voorraad” service operated by VWE/Hexon at doorlinkenvoorraad.nl. That service sends stock mutations to an endpoint on your site, and vehicle images are served from the media URLs it supplies in the feed. No data is sent to the plugin author. The service is governed by the agreement between your dealership and VWE/Hexon. See https://www.doorlinkenvoorraad.nl/ for their terms.

Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ , or install the zip through Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin . Activate Converzo Occasions voor Doorlinken Voorraad from the Plugins menu. Go to Occasions → Instellingen and fill in your company details on the Algemeen tab. On that same screen, note the endpoint URL and the Basic Auth credentials , and enter them in the doorlinkenvoorraad.nl portal (incremental method).

03 / SOURCE DETAILS
Do I need a coupling from doorlinkenvoorraad.nl? Yes. The plugin is built specifically for the “Doorlinken Voorraad” (DV) incremental coupling and receives its inventory from it. Your dealership requests this coupling through doorlinkenvoorraad.nl (VWE/Hexon). Will my inventory be deleted if the feed fails? No. An empty or failed feed leaves existing stock untouched. Only an explicit delete mutation removes a vehicle. Can I edit vehicle details by hand? Yes, but the next push overwrites them unless you tick “do not overwrite by the feed” on that vehicle. Can the plugin match my site’s colours? Yes. Under Occasions → Instellingen → Weergave , choose “Huisstijl van het thema volgen” to take over your theme’s primary colour automatically, or “Eigen kleuren” to pick the colours yourself. For anything beyond colours, add CSS through WordPress itself (Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS, or the Site Editor’s Styles). All plugin markup is scoped under .vwe-occasions . The sticky info panel disappears behind my theme’s header. Increase “Afstand sticky zijbalk tot bovenkant” on the Weergave tab to the height of your header plus a little space. How do I show separate passenger car and commercial vehicle listings? Enable “Filter op voertuigsoort” on the Weergave tab. The switch appears above the listing filters as soon as commercial vehicles are in stock. Each option has its own URL ( /occasions/?cvzo_soort=personen and /occasions/?cvzo_soort=bedrijf ), so you can link to it from your menu.
