How to Create a Parts Catalog for Your Customers

You can turn your Smart 145 inventory into an external catalog that your customers can access on your website. To do this, follow the steps below. 

Step 1: Prepare Your Inventory
  1.  Go to the Manage Inventory main tab. 
  2.  Locate the parts you want to include in your catalog. 
  3.  Mark those parts as Internal
    •  Alternatively, you can send us a list of parts, and we can mark them for you
 

Step 2: Create a Listing
  1.  Navigate to Inventory → Listings
  2.  Use the Pull from Inventory option to import the parts you marked. Make sure you select "Internal" as the Destination you are pulling from.
  3.  This will generate the list of items that will appear in your catalog.
  •  Alternatively, you can click the option New Listing to create the Listing manually instead of pulling it from Inventory
 



Step 3: Generate an Embed Token
  1.  Go to Embed Settings
  2.  Create a Token
  3.  Use this token and the embed code to embed the catalog on your website.
