Hi, we are building an ecommerce site for a client on California. They are an established auto parts and service center and want to extend their sales base on line. The problem we are finding and is becoming a massive headache is product listings. Im looking for a solution to be able to feed wheel, ATV, UTV ,tire and lift kit products.
The site we are building in on WordPress using Woocommerce. We have talked with TIREWIRE, set up is expensive and we really only get TIRE products. Keystone is another, but they are not great at responding or even interested in helping.
Is there a service out there that brings these kinds of vendors together, and lets us either upload a CSV a few times a month, or provides API access
Any advice or help you be massively appreciated.
Thanks
David

Cars are some of the biggest sources of pollution in the environment, and it doesn’t help if your daily driver is in bad shape because it’s very likely producing even more pollutants than well-maintained vehicles. Earth Day helps bring awareness to the need for protecting the environment, and you can do your small part to protect it by fixing your ride. The great news is that APW Rewards, Auto Parts Warehouse’s loyalty program, can help you do so with its 4-day Earth Day promo exclusive to APW Rewards members from April 23 – 26.
Simply by signing up for a free APW Rewards account, you will automatically get free 100 points during the promo period. The perks don’t end there, however, because on top of these signup points, every purchase you make on Auto Parts Warehouse during the promo will give you double points. What does this mean? It means, for example, that a $100 order will give you 200 points instead of the usual 100. With 200 points in your APW Rewards account, you can immediately redeem a $10 off $20 coupon that you can use on your very next purchase, guaranteeing you savings that you can’t get anywhere else!
If you’re looking for the best value for your money, APW Rewards is a loyalty program that gives you multiple ways to save when you shop for car parts and accessories. As mentioned, you will get points equivalent to the dollar value of your order the moment you join this exclusive club. These points are redeemable for coupons that could get you up to $100 off on your next order along with special access to promos and benefits that are not available to other customers.
Finally, once you’ve had $300 worth of purchases, you will unlock Premier Tier, which will give you double points for the rest of your APW Rewards membership. As long as you remain active by making a purchase, your account will not expire and you can continue to earn points and redeem auto parts store coupons whenever you need. This is the best time to get your ride in tip-top shape and contribute to making the environment healthier and safer for you and other people. When you’re ready to sign up for free, just go to https://bit.ly/2ZxFquQ and seize this 4-day promo while it lasts.
