Leverage ShowMeTheParts Data To Launch a Direct To Consumer Site

Leverage ShowMeTheParts.com Data To Quickly Launch a Direct To Consumer e-commerce Site

As more and more parts manufacturers embrace direct-to-consumer e-commerce, we get a lot of questions about building and launching e-commerce websites. One of our clients – PurePower!, a manufacturer of lifetime filters – was able to build and relaunch their direct to consumer website using a combination of:

1. Data uploaded to ShowMeTheParts.com

2. WooCommerce, a free, easy to use e-commerce platform that’s open source

3. A custom WooCommerce plugin developed by Spork Marketing

Working with both ShowMeTheParts and Spork Marketing, PurePower! uploaded their product data to ShowMeTheParts.com, and then built an e-commerce site using that same data.

Because their new e-commerce website leverages data from ShowMeTheParts.com, most of the website data is automatically updated. Since Spork Marketing specializes in auto parts and accessories marketing, they can provide them with helpful backend information making the new PurePower! website is popular with customers who want to buy PurePower! filters online.

To learn more about launching an e-commerce site using data on ShowMeTheParts.com, please reach out to Paul Scripp at sales@verticaldev.com.
