  1. Monthly Performance Snapshot & Reporting

    We offer an extensive library of research and reporting tools that range from Gross Profit by Month to Conversion Rates Since Inception. These reports can help you determine where you might want to improve and help manage future changes.
  2. Shipping Rates & Pickup

    When your new parts website goes Live, shipping rates should already be implemented. These are determined on the parts total of your customer's basket. If there are any items (ex: rotors, body panels) with fixed shipping costs assigned to them, then the basic rate will not be applicable to these items. However, should a cart or basket contain items with fixed shipping cost and without, both rates will be combined.
  3. Searching Orders

    When you log into the Control Panel and you need to locate a specific order, there are a few different ways to search for it. You can either use the "Orders" drop down in the menu at the top of the page. You can also use the "Recent Orders" button, "Search Orders button," or specify an order number in the "Order #" search box.
