FINDER BY MODEL

A parts finder by model: customers see only what fits them.

When a product fits only certain models, customers ask “will this fit my car?” or buy wrong and send it back. I add a fitment finder to your WooCommerce store: the customer picks make, model and year, and the catalogue shows matching products with a clear message on the product page. The key is the fitment database, so I start by checking what data you have.

I build this to order, around your rules. Describe your project and I will reply with questions and a preliminary quote, usually within one business day.

WHEN IT HELPS

When fitment makes a difference

Typical problems for stores whose products depend on the model.

  • “Will it fit?” questions

    The same calls and emails about compatibility that take your time, while customers give up without an answer.

  • Returns of wrongly chosen parts

    The customer bought something that does not fit their vehicle and sends it back, with costs on both sides.

  • An ordinary filter is not enough

    Categories and attributes cannot express that a product fits hundreds of models and years.

  • Data scattered across files

    The fitment list is in a spreadsheet or at the wholesaler, and nobody sees it in the store.

What a finder by model covers

The scope depends on the data you have. I start by checking its format and completeness, because that decides the quality of the finder.

  • 01

    Choosing a vehicle or device

    Make, model, year and possibly engine or version, with suggestions at each step.

  • 02

    Catalogue filtering

    After a model is chosen, the catalogue and search results show only matching products.

  • 03

    Message on the product page

    Information on whether the product fits the chosen model and, if not, a suggestion of alternatives.

  • 04

    The customer's saved vehicle

    The chosen model is remembered for later visits, like “my garage”.

  • 05

    Fitment database import

    Fitment from a file, a wholesaler or a supplier's database, saved in the store and updated on a schedule.

  • 06

    Part numbers

    Search by manufacturer or replacement number alongside choosing a vehicle.

SEE FOR YOURSELF

Choose a vehicle and what to replace

Choose a sample vehicle and the type of part, and see a set with a price. In a real store the matching products come from the fitment database.

Demo

The demo requires JavaScript.

The vehicles, parts and prices are fictional. This is a simulation of how it works, with no real fitment database. Fitment in your store depends on the data you have.

This is just an example. I will build it around your case.

You do not need a specification. A few sentences about what should work is enough.

What the rollout looks like

  1. 01

    Review of the fitment data

    I check what data you have: a file, a spreadsheet, or data from a wholesaler or supplier. It decides the scope and the quality of the finder.

  2. 02

    Catalogue structure

    We agree how to describe vehicles or devices and how to link them to products, so the search is fast.

  3. 03

    Build and tests on a copy

    I build the finder on a copy of the store and test it on real queries: popular models, no match, replacements.

  4. 04

    Launch and filling in the data

    We launch the finder, then fill in the fitment and improve it based on questions and returns.

FAQ

Questions about a finder by model

Where do I get data on which parts fit which models?
It can come from your files, from a wholesaler's offer or from a fitment-database supplier. I check what form you have it in and what needs completing before I quote the finder.
Will the finder work for products other than car parts?
Yes. The principle is the same for phone accessories, coffee-machine filters, bicycle parts and anywhere a product fits specific models.
Do I have to assign fitment to each product by hand?
Not if you have the data in an organised form. I import it from a file and update it on a schedule. Only gaps are filled in by hand.
Can customers search by part number?
Yes, search by manufacturer or replacement number can be combined with choosing a vehicle. The scope depends on whether you have the numbers in your data.
Will you guarantee that a part definitely fits?
The finder shows what follows from your fitment database, so its accuracy depends on the data. I help organise it and flag uncertain cases, but responsibility for the content of the database stays with you.
