With the Vehicle Sales module on, your stock list is what powers both your public website and your admin sales tools.
Adding a car
From Admin → Vehicles → Add Vehicle, choose the make, model, and variant (add new ones inline if yours isn't listed yet), then fill in registration, mileage, price, description, and photos. The car appears on your public site as soon as you save it, with a status of in stock.
Vehicle status
As a sale progresses, update the car's status so your website always reflects reality:
- In stock — visible and searchable on your public site.
- Reserved — still visible, marked as reserved, to reduce duplicate enquiries.
- Sold — hidden from public search, kept in your records for reporting.
Recording a purchase
If you buy a car into stock (trade purchase, part-exchange, or auction), log it under Admin → Purchases so your cost basis is recorded — this feeds into your profit reporting once the car sells.
Selling a car
Once you've agreed a sale, see Test Drives & Selling Cars for how to issue the sales invoice and mark the vehicle sold.
