Importing Vehicles

Use importing when you find a vehicle listing that should become part of your Dealerspot inventory. The extension reads supported listing pages, lets you review the detected data, and creates a draft vehicle record.

Supported Import Sources

The extension detects supported vehicle listing pages and shows an import action when it can read the page.

Supported sources include:

If the extension cannot detect a vehicle, reload the listing page and open the extension again. Some listing pages may not expose enough structured data to import reliably.

Import a Vehicle

1. Open a supported vehicle listing in Chrome.
2. Open the Dealerspot extension.
3. Click Import from source.
4. Review the detected vehicle details in the Import tab.
5. Choose whether to include listing images.
6. Select the branch that should own the draft vehicle.
7. Click Import as Draft.

Imported vehicles are created as draft inventory records. After import, open the vehicle in Dealerspot to complete missing fields, adjust pricing, attach documents, or publish it to your storefront.

Review Before Importing

The import preview lets you confirm the data before it reaches your inventory.

Review these fields carefully:

• Year, make, and model
• Mileage
• Price
• Color and other specifications
• VIN, when available
• Photos, if you choose to include them
• Branch assignment

Imported listing data can vary by source. Treat the preview as a starting point, not a replacement for your normal vehicle review.

Include Images

When the listing includes photos, the extension can include them in the imported draft.

Use image import when:

• The listing photos are clear and dealership-ready
• You want to preserve the source listing photos for review
• Your team will replace or reorder photos later in Dealerspot

Skip image import when:

• You only need a quick draft record
• The source photos are incomplete or low quality
• The image upload fails and you want to finish the import without blocking the vehicle record

After Import

After the draft is created, open the vehicle in Dealerspot and review:

• Required inventory fields
• Asking price and pricing strategy
• Photos and image order
• Description and public storefront visibility
• Branch assignment
• Documents or internal notes

Troubleshooting Imports

No vehicle detected

Confirm you are on a supported listing page. Reload the page and open the extension again.

Import failed

Try importing without images first. If the import succeeds without images, add photos manually in Dealerspot.

Vehicle data looks incomplete

Complete or correct the draft vehicle in Dealerspot before publishing it to your storefront or using it for Marketplace posting.
