How do I put the vehicle finder on my own website?

Open Vehicles → Website widget in the portal, register your website's domain, and paste the one-line snippet the page gives you into your site. Your visitors then look up their car on your own pages and see the tuning stages your supplier offers, with your colours around them.

The widget is offered through your supplier, not bought as part of a website plan. If you work with more than one supplier, a Widget for switch at the top of the page lets you configure a separate widget per supplier. The page is desktop-only — it does not appear in the mobile app.

What do visitors get?

Visitors get the same vehicle finder you use in the portal, in three modes they switch between: Plate, Browse and Search. A plate lookup fills in the car; Browse walks make, model, generation and engine; Search matches a typed make, model or engine.

Once a vehicle is resolved, the widget lists the tuning stages published for it with their power and torque figures, and a button — Get a quote → or Get this tuned →, depending on what your supplier's own website is set to do. Where no stages are published for that exact car, the widget still shows an indication of what a Stage 1 remap typically delivers and invites the visitor to get in touch. A line at the bottom reads "Powered by" your supplier's name.

Step 1 — add your website's domain

Register the domain your website runs on in the Your website card. This is the step that activates the widget: until a domain is saved the status badge reads Add a domain to activate, and the widget refuses to run anywhere.

Enter the bare host — mygarage.nl, not the full address of a page. The www. version is included automatically. You can list up to three domains, which is what a staging site or a second website is for. A deeper host such as mygarage.wordpress.com is matched exactly, so list it as it appears in the browser's address bar.

When the badge reads Active, the widget will run. Disabled by your supplier means the supplier has switched your widget off, or your account with them is no longer active — that one is not something you can fix from this page.

Step 2 — pick a look and your colours

Choose one of three templates in the Look & colors card: Classic (an elevated card, like the portal finder), Minimal (chromeless, so it takes on your site's own design) or Performance (a dark look with a racing accent).

Below it, set Primary (buttons, active tab, highlights), Accent (gain bars and the Performance glow) and Background (the widget panel). Each has a Reset link that returns it to the default, which follows your supplier's brand. Press Save widget — the live preview on the right redraws from the saved settings, so save before judging a change.

Step 3 — decide what the widget shows

The What visitors see card controls two things.

• Show prices. On by default. Turn it off to list the stages with no figure at all — the right choice if you quote your own prices rather than passing your supplier's through.
• Price shown as. Credits shows the credit cost. Money converts it to your trade price in your own currency — that is what you pay your supplier, so only show it if your visitors are meant to see it.
• Show the button. Turn it off and the widget becomes an information panel with no call to action.
• When someone clicks it. Open here opens the next step inside the widget on your page; Open in a new tab keeps your page open alongside it.
• Where it leads. Empty sends visitors to your supplier's portal, branded for you — the behaviour every widget started with. Enter a full address (starting with https://) to send them to a page of your own instead — your contact page, a booking form, your own order flow. With a custom address, Open here moves your whole page there rather than loading the other site inside the widget.

Step 4 — add your own questions

The Your vehicle search card is where you add questions of your own, asked on the quote form and delivered with the enquiry. Type the question, press Add question, then set its answer type (short text, long text, checkbox or choice list), whether it is Required, and optionally when it is asked — always, or only when the visitor picks a particular tune or add-on. Up to twelve questions.

Removing a question stops it being asked; answers already given stay on the enquiries that carry them.

Step 5 — paste the snippet into your site

The Add it to your website card shows one line of HTML. Press Copy snippet and paste it wherever your site accepts HTML — in WordPress, a "Custom HTML" block.

Styling, questions and display settings apply on the visitor's next page load, so you never re-paste the snippet after changing them. If your site strips script tags, use Copy iframe fallback instead: that one is a fixed block of code, so re-copy it after changing settings that live inside it. Rotate key mints a replacement key and stops the old snippet working — use it if the key ends up somewhere you did not intend, then paste the fresh snippet.

Once a real visitor loads it, the page shows Last seen on your site with how long ago. That line is the proof the installation worked.

What language does the widget use?

The widget follows the language your website declares, automatically — a Dutch site gets a Dutch widget. To pin one yourself, add data-locale="nl" to the snippet; an explicit choice always wins. If your page declares no language, the widget falls back to your supplier's website language. English and Dutch are supported.

Where do the leads end up?

A quote request sent from your widget goes to your supplier's enquiries inbox, carrying your business name so they know which partner it came from. It also appears in Communication → Enquiries in your own portal when your website plan includes enquiries. Both sides see the same lead; the quote uses your supplier's price book.

If the widget does not appear

The widget itself explains most failures in plain words on your page:

• "Almost there — add your website" — no domain saved yet. Step 1.
• "This website isn't registered" — the page it is on is not one of your saved domains. Add that exact host.
• "Widget key not recognised" — the snippet does not match the current key. Copy the snippet again, or rotate the key and paste the fresh one.
• "Widget is switched off" — your supplier disabled it, or your account with them is inactive. Contact your supplier.
• "Too many plate lookups just now" — plate lookups have a daily allowance per dealer, set by your supplier. Search and Browse keep working; the allowance resets the next day, and your supplier can raise it.

If the page shows Active, the snippet is in place and nothing renders at all, raise a support ticket and include the domain you registered, the address of the page the widget should be on, and the key prefix shown on the widget page. See getting-help.
