Vehicle Listing Management

Vehicle Listing Management Overview

The Vehicle Listing Management module enables the user to manage new and used vehicles, but, it can also be configured to be used for any product. It supports automated vehicle feeds from a wide range of data suppliers and configurable listings, details and lead management.

Checking your Vehicle Feed

  • Vehicle data comes from external providers.
  • WebEd will display the data received.
  • If a vehicle is not appearing on your site, it is most likely because we haven't received the data.
  • You can review the current data using the admin module

Managing Displayed Prices on Vehicle Listings

Why you would use Displayed Price on Vehicle Listing

  • Most Vehicles have 2 prices in the supplied data.
    • Drive Away Price = The selling price of the car including any transfer fee, government taxes or dealer delivery
    • Base Price = The base price of the car before any additional drive-away fees are added
    • As per ACC guidelines, it is recommended you always use the Drive Away price
  • This setting allows you to set the price displayed based on rules to suit your business
  • You can also set the text to display if there is no price available, the default is TBC (To Be Confirmed)
  • At times, you may not have both prices set for a Vehicle in your Dealer Management System (DMS)
  • The data displayed on your listing will be the same as the data you have entered in your DMS

What are the available settings?

  • Price to Display
    • Use Drive Away Price - always use the Drive Away Price. If the drive-away price is not available, then TBC (to be confirmed) will be displayed
    • Use Base Price - always use the Base Price. If the drive away price is not available, then TBC (to be confirmed) will be displayed
    • Use Drive Away Price if available else use Base Price - Use the Drive Away Price.
      • If the drive-away price is not available, then Base Price will be displayed.
      • If neither price is available, then TBC (to be confirmed) will be displayed
    • Use Base Price if available else use Drive Away Price - Use the Base Price.
      • If the Base price is not available, then the Drive Away Price will be displayed.
      • If neither price is available, then TBC (to be confirmed) will be displayed
  • No Price Text
    • If the rules are set that no price can be displayed (for example, you may set Use Drive Away Price but there is no value entered in your DMS for Drive Away Price)
    • The text to display instead of the price is used
    • The default text is TBC but this can be changed to any value you wish
    • Just be careful of the text length and test to ensure it matches the space available on your listing page

Please be advised: If you want to display the vehicles without images, you may continue to step 2. However, it is recommended that you do not change this setting.

Vehicle Listing Sort Options

Vehicle Listing Sort Options Overview

On the front end, vehicles displayed using the VehicleListing curly bracket can be sorted by:

  • Featured - highlighted vehicles are sorted by record orders in the Admin Vehicle Setting, the administrator can control this.
  • Price (low to high or high to low) - vehicles are sorted based on the price data. The administrator can set it to use the Drive Away price or the Base price, learn more.
  • Kms (low to high or high to low) - vehicles are sorted based on the mileage (Kms) data.
  • Year Made (low to high or high to low) - vehicles are sorted based on the year-made data.
  • Last Updated - vehicles are sorted based on the latest imported data.
Vehicle Listing

Why you would use Featured as a vehicle sorting option

The default sorting option for vehicles in a vehicle listing is Sort by Price (low to high), but, having Featured vehicles as a sorting option is useful if the administrator wants to "feature" vehicles regardless of the price, mileage, year or last update. The administrator can add the Featured option in the site settings.

Vehicle Listing

Follow the steps below to add Featured as an option on your listing.
