VEHICLE FITMENT SEARCH

NG Power

Custom Shopify vehicle search powered by 22,700+ fitment records, Google Sheets, intelligent lookup logic, and zero recurring API costs.

Shopify Liquid JavaScript Google Sheets PapaParse

The Problem

NG Power sells parts that fit specific vehicle makes, models, and years. Customers needed a fast way to confirm compatibility before buying, but a paid fitment API wasn’t in budget.

  • No affordable fitment API for a catalog this size
  • Customers unsure which battery fit their vehicle
  • Fitment data needed frequent updates by non-developers
  • Search needed to feel instant, not like a form submission

Our Solution

A custom vehicle fitment search that reads a 22,700+ row fitment dataset maintained in Google Sheets, parsed client-side with PapaParse and cached for instant lookups — giving accurate fitment results with zero recurring API costs.

  • Built a 22,700+ row fitment dataset maintained in Google Sheets
  • Client-side parsing and caching with PapaParse for instant lookups
  • Make / model / year / engine cascading search UI
  • Zero recurring API costs going forward

Key Highlights

  • 22,700+ vehicle fitment records, zero paid API
  • Google Sheets as an easily editable data source for the client
  • Client-side parsing and caching for instant search results
  • Simple year / make / model / submodel lookup flow
