Using the Fleetwire Hosted Store

🏬 Customize Your Fleetwire Catalog Page!



Your Fleetwire account comes with a catalog page—a hosted online store where customers can browse and book your listings, complete with a free SSL certificate. You can make it truly yours by setting a custom domain and tweaking settings like showing prices on listing cards. Let’s personalize your catalog page to create a seamless experience for your customers!


🎯 Why Customize Your Catalog Page?



Customizing your Fleetwire catalog page helps you:

Brand Your Store: Use a custom domain to match your website, so customers feel they never left your site.
Enhance Security: Benefit from a free SSL certificate, even for custom domains, ensuring secure browsing.
Control Visibility: Show or hide pricing on listing cards to suit your business strategy.
Boost Engagement: Create a polished, professional storefront that drives bookings.

Note: Your catalog page URL (e.g., testcompany.fleetwire.io or a custom domain) can be found in your Online Reservations settings. Learn more in Finding Your Fleetwire Shop URL.


🛠 How to Customize Your Catalog Page



Follow these steps to set up a custom domain and adjust your catalog page settings in Fleetwire.

Step 1: Set Up a Custom Domain (Premium Feature)



Make your catalog page match your brand by using a custom domain.

In your Fleetwire dashboard, go to Settings > Online Reservations.
Look for the Custom Domain section.
Enter your domain (e.g., rentals.yourcompany.com).
Follow the prompts to configure DNS settings (e.g., set a CNAME record pointing to custom.fleetwire.io).
Save the settings. Fleetwire will issue a free SSL certificate for your domain, ensuring secure browsing.

Note: Custom domains are a Premium feature. If you’re not on a Premium plan, contact our team at hi@fleetwire.io to upgrade.

Pro Tip: Once set, your custom domain will redirect customers from the default URL (e.g., testcompany.fleetwire.io) to your branded domain, creating a seamless experience.


Step 2: Adjust Catalog Page Settings



Customize how your listings appear on the catalog page.

Show or Hide Prices on Listing Cards



In Settings > Online Reservations, scroll to the Catalog Page Settings section.
Find the option Show Prices on Listing Cards.
Toggle it to:
- Enabled: Display pricing on each listing card (e.g., $50/day).
- Disabled: Hide pricing, encouraging customers to click for details.
Click Save to apply the change.

Here’s an example of a listing card with the price shown on your public catalog page.

Quick Tip: Showing prices can attract budget-conscious customers, while hiding them can encourage inquiries for high-value rentals. Test both options to see what works best for your business!


Step 3: Test Your Catalog Page



Visit your catalog page URL (find it in Online Reservations settings, e.g., testcompany.fleetwire.io or your custom domain).
On May 14, 2025, at 06:27 PM EDT, browse your listings to confirm:
- Your custom domain (if set) redirects correctly.
- Pricing visibility matches your settings (shown or hidden).
Test a sample booking to ensure the checkout process works smoothly.

Warning: If your catalog page doesn’t load, ensure your tenant account is active in the Company or CompanyDefaultMeta records, as Fleetwire validates domains via a custom HTTP endpoint before issuing TLS certificates. Contact support if you encounter issues.


🌟 Your Catalog Page Is Ready!



You’ve customized your Fleetwire catalog page! It’s now branded with your domain (if set) and tailored to your pricing visibility preferences. Visit your catalog page to see it in action and ensure your customers have a seamless booking experience.
