Why use the Vehicle Selector?
Modern auto parts stores can contain millions of products, making it challenging for customers to find what they need quickly. The Vehicle Selector solves this problem by filtering out unrelated products, so customers see only the parts that match the vehicle they’ve selected.
- Saved selection: Once a vehicle is chosen, it is saved and remembered throughout the session, creating a seamless browsing experience.
- Homepage integration: The Vehicle Selector is designed to appear on the homepage, where customers can start by selecting their vehicle.
Even with the Vehicle Selector in place, the text search bar remains functional, allowing users to search for specific products manually if needed. This dual approach ensures the best of both worlds: precise filtering and full search capabilities.
Why this extension is essential?
By narrowing down product results to those that match a specific vehicle, the Vehicle Selector:
- Saves time for customers.
- Reduces search frustration by eliminating unrelated results.
- Improves conversion rates, as customers find relevant products faster.
- Supports massive catalogs without sacrificing usability.
