🛠 How to Configure Vehicle Details

Follow these steps to set up vehicle information and photos for your listings in Fleetwire.

Step 1: Set Vehicle Info

Add detailed attributes to describe your vehicle and enable useful features.

In the Vehicle Info section of the Vehicle tab, enter the following details:
Name, Description: A catchy name and description for the vehicle.
Year, Make, Model: Used for filtering on the catalog page.
Seats, Doors, Features: Highlight key specs for renters.
VIN, Plate, Unit #: Internal details (not shown on the catalog page).
Vehicle Class: Categorize the vehicle (e.g., SUV, Sedan).
Click Save to apply the details.

Benefits:
Renters can filter by year, make, and model on your catalog page (e.g., testcompany.fleetwire.io).
VIN enables automatic vehicle recall notifications (or use year, make, model if VIN is unavailable).
VIN, plate, and unit # can auto-fill on e-sign rental agreements if enabled.

Here’s what the Vehicle Info section looks like.



Tip: If you use Turo, you can import all these attributes automatically, along with pricing and photos.

Step 2: Add Vehicle Photos

Upload photos to showcase your vehicle, with a slideshow for multiple images.

In the Photos section, click to upload images (up to 20 photos allowed).
The first photo is the main image; additional photos create a slideshow.
For best results, use high-quality images.
Click Save to apply the photos.

Admin View: Here’s what the photo settings look like in your dashboard.



Customer View: Here’s the slideshow on the checkout page (or your website via the Fleetwire plugin).



Pro Tip: Upload multiple angles of the vehicle to give renters a clear view, encouraging bookings.

Step 3: Test Your Vehicle Details

Ensure your vehicle details and photos display correctly for renters.

Visit your online store (e.g., testcompany.fleetwire.io) or catalog page to view the listing.
Check that the year, make, model, and photos (including the slideshow) appear as expected.
Test filtering by year, make, or model to confirm it works.
Adjust details or photos as needed to optimize the listing.

Warning: If photos don’t display or filtering fails, ensure your images are high-quality and all required fields (e.g., year, make, model) are filled.
