How OrderParts.Online Works: A Step-by-Step Guide to Selling Manufacturer Parts Online

Q: 2) How long will it take to start selling parts on my website?

The amount of time that it takes to completely set up your online parts store will depend on the number of parts that your company wants to sell online. It will also heavily rely on how quickly your parts information is gathered and passed on to the Driven Digital team. Typically, the entire process will take around three to six weeks. That is, from start to finish.

Q: 3) Am I required to sign a long-term contract?

The subscription will last for one (1) year. After the first year, the subscription will convert to month-to-month. This means that your company can cancel at any given time after that first year. Please be aware that if you choose to cancel your subscription, you will lose access to your online parts store.

Q: 4) Can my manufacturing facility edit the part information?

Yes! In fact, you will have access to detailed training videos. The training videos will demonstrate how your facility can simply and quickly add and edit part information online. We will also provide unlimited support for your company and its online ordering process.

Q: 5) Will ‘request a quote’ be an option, instead of the shopping cart feature?

Yes. You can have the ‘request a quote’ feature with OrderParts.Online. The ‘request a quote’ cart will instantly send the request to your company, allowing your facility to automatically receive the information as soon as the website visitor has filled out the form. Your facility will get a list of each individual part that the visitor has requested a quote for.

Q: 6) Will my company have access to previous orders?

Yes. The team at your facility will be able to view each and every order previously placed at your company. You will also be able to access every quote request that has been received, as well.

In today’s competitive market, more businesses are turning to manufacturers who make it easy to buy parts online.

Manufacturers who provide a seamless, accessible online shopping experience are seeing significant gains in sales and customer satisfaction. OrderParts.Online is a robust tool that lets you do just that - sell your manufacturer parts online. By integrating directly with your website, it transforms the process of browsing, selecting and purchasing parts into a seamless experience.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how OrderParts.Online works, from the user experience to setup and launch.

Here's How OrderParts.Online Works

Interactive Schematic Diagram

Users visiting your website can easily browse through an interactive exploded parts diagram for your equipment. Each component part is labeled with a unique number. This makes it easy for users to identify the exact part they need.

Click & Scroll Functionality

Once a user finds the part they’re looking for on the diagram, they can click on the number that corresponds to the part. The page will automatically scroll down to that particular part in a detailed list beneath the diagram. This smooth navigation will make sure users can quickly find what they need without unnecessary searching.

Detailed Part Information

For each part listed, you will see essential details such as the part name, dimensions, price and, if available, a picture of the part. This information will help the user verify they’ve selected the correct part.

Add to Cart

After the customer has identified the correct part, they can simply add it to their shopping cart with a single click. This streamlined process means they can move through your online parts store quickly, which reduces cart abandonment and makes the experience more enjoyable.

Seamless Checkout

OrderParts.Online offers a secure checkout experience. Shipping and taxes are calculated automatically, and customers can complete their purchase using a secure payment gateway that’s integrated with your website. The checkout process is just like any other standard eCommerce website, ensuring customers know exactly what to do.

Order Confirmation

Upon completing the purchase, the customer will receive a detailed order confirmation, making the entire transaction fast and transparent. This automated process not only saves time, but also reduces the chances of errors that can occur with manual ordering methods.

Here’s How The Setup Process Works

Now that you know how OrderParts.Online works for your customers, let’s go over how we’ll set it up to make sure your online parts store is ready for a smooth launch.

Provide the Schematic Diagram

To get started, you’ll need to provide us with an exploded parts diagram of your equipment, showing all component parts. Each part in the diagram will be referenced by a unique number, which will link directly to the parts list.

Data Entry for Component Parts

Next, each component part will have to be added to your website’s parts database. This includes all the essential information like the part name, dimensions, price and, if available, a picture of each part. The more detail, the easier it will be for customers to identify the correct manufacturer part online.

We Offer Two Options

Do-It-Yourself Data Entry: If you prefer, your team can handle the data entry process yourself. We provide full access to the database, along with detailed training videos to guide you through the process of adding and managing part information.

Done-For-You Data Entry: Don’t have the time or team available for data entry? No problem! Our team can manage the entire data entry process for you, making sure that every part is correctly set up and integrated with the exploded parts diagram.

Seamless Integration

Our service will integrate seamlessly with your existing website and support shipping services, tax calculation systems and secure payment gateways. OrderParts.Online provides a smooth checkout process, with real-time shipping costs and tax calculations, creating a reliable and trustworthy shopping experience for your customers.

Go Live

Once the schematic diagram and part information are uploaded and integrated, your online parts store is ready to go live. Your customers can now easily find and purchase parts directly from your website, anytime.
