An auto parts e-commerce platform at catalog scale

AutoBuffy is an online auto parts store. Its catalog holds more than 1.2 million parts, and shoppers use vehicle-fitment search to find the parts that fit their vehicle.

A store of this size needs an API backend that stays fast as the catalog grows, and a checkout that offers the payment methods people already use.

Our role on AutoBuffy

AutoBuffy is client work. Agentix founder Ahtasham Naeem worked on the backend and the checkout:

  • Built RESTful APIs in Ruby on Rails
  • Integrated PayPal, Apple Pay, Afterpay and Klarna
  • Integrated analytics
  • Optimized the database
  • Handled releases and deployments

What vehicle-fitment search means for a parts store

In auto parts e-commerce, the hard question is not price but fit. A brake pad or filter that suits one model year can be wrong for the next. Fitment search starts from the shopper's vehicle, usually its year, make and model, and only then shows the parts that match it.

That changes how the back end has to work. Every search filters a very large catalog by compatibility, so queries must stay fast and the data must stay consistent. It is also why a store like this needs careful database work as the catalog grows, which was part of our role on AutoBuffy.

Payments shoppers expect

Car parts can be expensive, so payment choice matters at checkout. AutoBuffy offers PayPal and Apple Pay for speed, and Afterpay and Klarna for shoppers who prefer to split a larger order into instalments.
