Laying the foundation for a more open, flexible Stora

We’re building a Public API to help you run a more connected, more automated self storage business.

A note from our Co-founder & CEO

Why we’re opening up Stora

We've always believed great software should be simple, powerful, and enjoyable to use. That's what made Stora stand out. But we know that as operators grow, their needs do too.

Some want more flexibility. Others want to connect Stora to tools they already use. That's why we're opening up — carefully, and with intent.

We're not just launching a feature. We're building the foundations of a platform that can grow with you.

What is a Public API, and why should you care?

An API (short for Application Programming Interface) is how software tools connect and share data — like sending a lead from your website into Stora, or syncing customer info with a CRM.

We're building the foundations of a Public API that will one day let Stora integrate more easily with the other tools you use. Think CRMs, email platforms, websites, kiosks, even AI-powered assistants.

This is just the first step. We're starting small — and your feedback will help shape what comes next.

Here's what we're not doing

  • We're not shipping a legacy-style API just to tick a box.
  • We're not launching a finished product — we're laying the groundwork for one that will evolve over time.
  • We're building something useful, thoughtful and sustainable — not just something that looks good on a spec sheet.

Here's what we are doing

We’re building a developer platform that evolves with you. It will start small, but over time, it will offer deep flexibility to help automate, extend, and connect every part of your business.

Build for the future of storage

We believe the future of self storage is more connected, intelligent, and personalised.

Our Public API is part of a bigger shift in how we see Stora — not just as a product you log into, but as the infrastructure you build your business on.

This isn't a bolt-on feature. It's the foundation of a more open, flexible platform. One that gives operators and their teams more control, more ways to automate, and more freedom to integrate with the tools they already use.

It won't all happen at once. But like everything we build, it will be thoughtfully designed, well-documented, and built to last.

Help shape the future of Stora's Public API

We're still early in development and want your input.

If you've ever wished Stora could connect to your other tools, or automate more of the busywork, now's your chance to help shape what's coming.
