Browsing the shop
Start from Shop or category pages. Move through product families and subcategories until you are on a list or product page that matches your technical need—not only a marketing title.Evaluating a listing
On each product page, use:- Specifications and structured fields—these are what you can search and filter on elsewhere.
- Images and any Data Tables the vendor enabled.
- Documentation & Downloads when the vendor uploaded spec sheets, certificates, or general documents. If nothing was uploaded, those blocks may not appear.
Compare
Add candidates to Compare when you need a side-by-side view of specifications. It works best when each listing (and variation) has the fields filled in; empty cells often mean “not provided,” not “not applicable,” so use judgment or follow up with the vendor.Watchlist
Use Watchlist to save items while you:- Wait for internal approval or budget release
- Coordinate with colleagues on technical sign-off
- Track options before you choose transport or incoterms with your logistics team
Inquiries
Choose Inquiries when the workflow is quote-based or you need clarifications before you can select a variation or quantity. Follow any instructions on the form and in the FAQ about timing and proof of intent if applicable.Next: Checkout and payment.
