Product · Online listings
Put each car online straight from its record in Motorvar.
Sooner or later, the spreadsheet and the website show different prices. Motorvar's car pages take the price from the car's record, so the price shoppers see on them is the one your team set.
Publish a car and it gets its own page with photos, the price, a payment estimate and three ways to reach you, and it shows up on your storefront.

Keep inquiries with the car

You decide which cars go online.
Nothing goes online until someone on your team publishes it, and a car can't be published until it has a VIN, year, make, model, mileage, color, a price and at least one photo. The car's page in Motorvar lists anything that's missing.
Publish or withdraw many cars at once from the inventory list. When a car moves to Pending sale or Sold, or is archived, its page comes down on its own.
Public publishing
Not publishableMissing: exterior color, at least one photo.
Publish 3 vehicles to your public site?
Each car gets a page made for a shopper on a phone.
The page has a photo gallery shoppers can swipe through, the price, the key facts and a monthly payment estimate. Right under the estimate, the page says it assumes 9% APR over 72 months with 10% down.
The page also shows your own description of the car, the full details with the VIN, and your phone number and hours. On a phone, a bar stays at the bottom of the screen with the price, a call button and a “Check availability” button. Your internal notes never appear on the page.

You can use the VIN to look up this car's history.
Shoppers can ask a question, book a test drive or send a message.
All three sit in one panel on the car's page. Each one creates a lead on that car and emails your dealership the shopper's details with a link to the lead. If the shopper left an email address, replying to that email reaches them directly. Reply from the lead in Motorvar, or log the call if you phone them, and the lead counts as answered.
In Settings, choose whether your team gets an in-app alert for every new website lead or only when a lead's email couldn't be sent. If the same person asks about the same car again within a week, it goes onto their open lead instead of starting a new one. The form also has a hidden field, a timing check and rate limits to keep automated spam out.

Shoppers can book a test drive in the hours you set.
Shoppers pick a day in the next two weeks and a 30-minute slot at least an hour away. Times when that car is already booked don't show up.
Set booking hours for each day of the week and close single dates for holidays. The dealership gets an email, the shopper gets one too if they left an email address, and the booking appears on your appointments list.

Photos are cleaned up before they go public.
When you publish a car, Motorvar makes public copies of its photos. They're turned the right way up, sized for the web, stripped of location and camera details, and come with smaller versions and thumbnails that load quickly on a phone.
Your originals stay private, and taking a car offline removes its public copies.
Leads from Facebook, Instagram and Google links are labeled for you.
When someone reaches a car's page from a Facebook, Instagram or Google link and gets in touch, the lead is labeled Facebook or Google, and the campaign details from the link are kept on it. Instagram counts as Facebook. The lead source report shows which sources turn into sales.

Questions dealers ask us.
Where do I change the price shoppers see?
Update the asking price on the car's record. Its public page, your storefront and your feeds show that price plus the doc fee you set in Settings.
What happens when the car sells?
A car's public page comes down when it moves to Pending sale or Sold, or when you archive it.
Can I choose when shoppers book test drives?
Yes. Set booking hours for each weekday and close individual dates for holidays or other days off.
