Spare Parts
In many industries, spare parts generate high process costs due to the intensive consulting required to verify compatibility between parts and specific machine models. The B2Bsellers Spare Parts add-on transforms your online shop into a specialized spare parts platform, automating technical verification and freeing up your sales team for more complex tasks.
Interactive Exploded Views
Turn technical drawings into intuitive shopping experiences. Customers can visually identify the exact part they need and add it to their cart without leaving the diagram.
Adding an Exploded View
Navigate to Catalogues > Products and open your desired product.
In the Media section, upload your technical drawing.
Click the three dots (...) on the image preview and select "is an exploded view".
Multiple views can be assigned to a single product; these will appear as a gallery on the storefront.
Managing Markers (Hotspots)
Switch to the Exploded View tab on the product page.
Click "Enable marking mode" and click any position on the drawing to place a marker.
Link Products: Search your entire Shopware catalog to link the specific part.
Technical Details: Set a recommended quantity and add custom designations.
Result: In the frontend, customers see a mouseover preview of the part and can add it to their cart directly from the drawing.
Advanced Spare Parts Search
Ensure customers always find the right part for their specific equipment.
Model vs. Spare Part: Under Specifications > Additional Fields, you can categorize products. This allows the search to distinguish between a "Machine Model" and the "Replacement Part," improving filter accuracy.
"Find Similar" via Properties: Customers can select specific properties (e.g., thread diameter, material, or length) directly on a product page and click "Find similar items" to generate a comparison table of compatible alternatives.
Multi-Dimensional Accessory Groups
Standard Shopware cross-selling often struggles with complex B2B relationships that ERP systems cannot easily map. Our plugin uses a simple syntax-based system stored in a single text field, making it 100% compatible with any ERP interface.
The Advantage: ERP Compatibility
Instead of complex database tables, we use a plain-text syntax. This allows you to include individual notes for specific product-to-product connections—something standard systems can't do.
Example Syntax: Go to B2B Specifications > Product accessories fields and use the following format:
> Heading: Creates a new category.Product Number: Links the accessory.; Note: Adds a specific instruction for that part.
