Install the extension
The extension is what fills Facebook’s form. Once, per computer.
- Unzip the folder your admin sent you.
- Open Chrome at chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode (top right).
- Click Load unpacked and choose the extension folder — the one containing manifest.json, not dist.
- Click the puzzle piece in Chrome’s toolbar and pin the red wrench icon. Click it and sign in with the same account.
Get your parts in
Four ways; use whichever fits the part in front of you.
Upload your sheet
Parts → Upload sheet. CSV or Excel, with whatever column names you already use. It works out which column is the part number, the name, the fitment and the price, tells you what it matched, and lists any row it skipped with the reason.
Add by part number
Parts → Part number. Type an OEM part number such as VKEST4025 and it pulls the name, what it fits, the category, the manufacturer’s list price and the official catalogue photos. You set your own price.
Capture from a web page
On a part’s page on your parts site or the manufacturer’s catalogue, open the extension and click Capture part from this page. It reads the part number, name, price, fitment and photos; you check them and click Add to inventory. The part lands as a Draft.
Add by hand
Parts → Add part, for anything the catalogue does not carry. Edit any part to upload your own photos — or use Phone photos: one QR code per shift, take photos on your phone, then drag each onto its part.
Write the listing
- Parts → the red wand on a part’s row.
- Pick a tone, tick the selling points, click Generate.
- Read it. Edit anything you’d say differently, then Save.
It writes the title, description, highlights and search tags from that part’s own facts: the part number, what it fits, the condition, what is included. It does not invent fitment, contents or prices.
Post a part
- Parts → the Facebook button on the row (or the extension popup → Post).
- A Facebook tab opens on the Item for sale form and fills photos, title, price, Category → Auto parts, Condition, description, SKU (the part number) and product tags.
- Leave that tab in front while it fills. It works on the tab you are looking at, by design.
- A dark CounterList card appears beside the form with anything it could not fill. Click a row to copy it; Alt+C copies the next one. A row ticks green once the form holds your value.
- Read the listing. You press Publish.
- Once Facebook confirms it is live, click Mark as listed in CounterList on the card. The part goes Active with today’s date.
Keep the list straight
- Sold it? The dollar button → Mark sold, then take the Marketplace listing down yourself.
- Not actually listed? The undo button moves it back to Draft.
- Active parts cannot be re-posted — that guard stops two listings for one part. Move it to Draft first if you mean to post it again.
- Every action is recorded against your name, so the counter can see who listed what.
What each button does
On the Parts screen
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pulls in parts just added — from the extension, the phone tray, a teammate. | |
| Load many parts at once from a CSV or Excel sheet, any column layout. | |
| One QR code per shift: take photos on your phone, then drag each onto its part. | |
| Type an OEM part number — name, fitment, category, list price and catalogue photos are looked up. | |
| Add one part by hand. | |
| Show only the parts in that status. |
The buttons on each part
Left to right. If a button isn’t there, it doesn’t apply to that part — a part that’s already listed has no “mark it listed” button.
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Write the listing with AI. | |
| Opens Marketplace and fills it in for this part. You still press Publish. | |
| Mark it listed. Press after you publish on Facebook — the part goes Active with today’s date. | |
| Pressed the green check by mistake? Back to Draft. | |
| Mark it sold when it sells — then take the Marketplace listing down yourself. | |
| Marked it sold by mistake? This puts it back. | |
| Edit the part — price, fitment, photos. | |
| Delete the part. Managers only. |
In the extension popup
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| On a part’s product page: grabs part number, name, price, fitment and photos, then adds it as a Draft. | |
| Queues up to 5 parts to post to Facebook one after another. | |
| Opens the Marketplace form and fills it with the selected part. You still press Publish. | |
| On the card beside Facebook’s form, after you publish — credits the listing to you. | |
| Grey = signed out. Green = signed in and synced to your dealership. |
