Frequently Asked Questions

How does the vehicle fitment engine work?
The fitment engine uses vehicle identification data (year, make, model, trim, engine type) to cross-reference product compatibility databases. When a customer selects their vehicle, the system automatically filters product catalog to show only compatible items, reducing incorrect purchases and support costs.

Yes. The platform offers extensive API access and pre-built connectors for major ERP systems like NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics. AiDOOS helps design and implement custom integrations that synchronize inventory, orders, and financial data in real-time.
What is the typical implementation timeline?
Standard implementations take 8-12 weeks depending on catalog complexity and integrations required. AiDOOS accelerates deployment through pre-configured automotive workflows, reducing setup time by 30-40% compared to standard Shopify Plus implementations.

Absolutely. Shopify Plus for Automotive supports hybrid commerce models with separate B2B storefronts, custom pricing for wholesale customers, bulk ordering workflows, and negotiated payment terms—all within a single unified platform managed through AiDOOS.
