How IDX Broker and IDX Plugin Work Together on Wix
IDX Broker – The Data Engine
IDX Broker handles the MLS connection, importing property data and generating search pages, detail pages, and maps, all hosted securely. Your site displays this content through embedded widgets, and these pages are indexable by Google, boosting your SEO.
IDX Plugin – The Visual Layer for No‑Coders
IDX Plugin uses IDX Broker's data to provide you with attractive, easy-to-customize widgets. It offers:
- • Pre-designed search forms
- • Styled property cards and grids
- • A settings panel to tweak fonts, colors, spacing—no coding needed
Advanced Search Form features include:
- • Smart place autocomplete
- • Combined filters (e.g., "3+ beds & 2+ baths")
- • Responsive mobile design with quick-select buttons
In the example below, you'll see how easy it is to use the IDX Plugin panel to visually customize your widgets, ensuring they align perfectly with your Wix website's branding — all without touching a single line of code.
Step-by-Step Integration Process
Step 1: Embed a Live MLS Search Form
1. Open the Wix Editor and navigate to your homepage. Click the "+" icon, choose "Embed Code," then select "Embed HTML" to insert a code block.
2. You will see the element added — place it where you want and resize it. Please keep in mind that the search form contains dropdowns, so make sure the block is not only wide but also tall enough to display them properly.
3. In a new tab, log in to your IDX Plugin dashboard. Find the Search Form widget you want to use and click "Show Embed Code."
4. Back in Wix, paste the code into the added element — you should see the search form appear instantly after clicking the "Update" button located below the code input area.
5. Ensure your HTML Element has enough height to display dropdowns fully, and that the element is positioned on top. (Right-click the element, go to Arrange > Bring to Front if needed) so that the dropdowns always appear above other elements.
Step 2: Add a Listings Carousel
In addition to search, showcasing specific properties on your homepage helps guide visitors and highlight key listings. With IDX Plugin, you can quickly add listings that match your website's style.
For Wix pages, we recommend using a carousel format. Since Wix embeds widgets using iframes, which don't support fluid height, a carousel helps fully resolve this limitation by maintaining a consistent, self-contained layout.
1. Choose a widget for your listing showcase
In your IDX Plugin dashboard, you'll find several demo widgets to get started quickly. You can also create your own custom widget targeting specific locations, price ranges, or property types.
For this guide, we recommend clicking "Edit" on the Featured Listings Carousel, which displays properties in a single row with navigation arrows.
2. Configure which listings the widget displays
Use the filtering options to control which listings appear — by location, price, property type, and more. You can also fine-tune the appearance, including the number of columns, spacing, image ratio, and label styles.
3. Get the embed code
Once your widget is configured, click "Public Preview" to view live MLS listings. Then click "Show Embed Code" and copy the snippet — just like you did with the search form.
4. Add an Embed block on your Wix page
Return to the Wix editor, insert a new Embed HTML block, and paste the code.
Step 3: Style the Widgets to Match Your Wix Site
After embedding your widgets, it's time to make sure they look and feel like a natural part of your website. IDX Plugin makes it simple to personalize every widget detail so the MLS tools blend perfectly with your brand.
1. Global Design Settings
Inside your IDX Plugin dashboard, open Global Settings to define your overall style. Here you can adjust colors, fonts, button shapes, spacing, and corners — creating a clean, unified look that matches the rest of your Wix site.
These global styles automatically apply across all widgets, so your entire site stays visually consistent without extra work.
2. Customize Individual Widgets
Want one widget to pop or have a unique look? You can easily override the global settings for any single widget. Just open that widget in your dashboard, go to the Appearance tab, and fine-tune design options like background color, font size, button layout, and spacing.
This gives you full flexibility to create standout sections exactly where you need them.
