Built-in cart and quote
Use PartGrid's built-in cart and quote request workflow to collect selected parts, quantities, customer details, and notes before submitting a structured quote request.
Cart and quote handoff
Move selected parts into cart, quote, or your own workflow.
PartGrid lets users select parts from diagrams and move them into built-in cart and quote workflows, native ecommerce integrations where supported, or custom parent-site workflows through postMessage.

Built-in cart and quote
Use PartGrid's built-in cart and quote request workflow to collect selected parts, quantities, customer details, and notes before submitting a structured quote request.

Native ecommerce integration
Use a native integration where PartGrid supports your ecommerce platform and the project needs platform-specific product, cart, customer, or checkout behavior.

Custom postMessage handoff
Use iframe postMessage to send selected parts from the PartGrid viewer to your parent site, portal, or application so your stack controls the next step.
Users move from "I found the part" to "I can request, quote, buy, or process it" without rebuilding the parts list manually.
Last-mile workflow problem
Finding the part is not enough.
A customer or dealer may identify the correct part from an exploded view, schematic, or parts list. The workflow is incomplete if they still need to copy part numbers into another system, send screenshots by email, or manually rebuild the parts list.
Customers identify parts but still need to request or buy them.
Dealers need selected parts to move into quote or order workflows.
Ecommerce teams do not want selections trapped inside an isolated catalog.
Service teams may need selected parts in a ticket or work order.
Quote-driven businesses may not want direct checkout.
Custom portals may need flexible message-based handoff.
Three handoff options
Choose the handoff path that fits your stack.
All three options support the same goal: users identify parts visually and move them into a workflow your business can act on.
Native ecommerce integration
Use a native integration where PartGrid supports your ecommerce platform and the project needs platform-specific product, cart, customer, or checkout behavior.
Custom postMessage handoff
Use iframe postMessage to send selected parts from the PartGrid viewer to your parent site, portal, or application so your stack controls the next step.
Rollout choice
Use the integration path that matches your rollout.
PartGrid does not force one checkout or quote model. Start with the path that fits your business and integrate deeper as your workflow matures.
Built-in cart and quote
Start without a full custom integration.
Support quote-driven sales or dealer requests.
Collect selected parts before review, pricing, availability, or fulfillment.
Native ecommerce integration
Use when your ecommerce platform is supported.
Align with product, storefront, customer, cart, and checkout behavior.
Use Shopware as the clearest current native integration story.
Custom handoff with postMessage
Use custom dealer portals or frontends.
Support unsupported platforms or phased rollouts.
Let the parent application add to cart, open a quote drawer, call an API, or route to CPQ.
Built-in cart and quote
Start with PartGrid's built-in cart and quote workflow.
PartGrid can collect selected parts in a built-in cart and quote request flow. The workflow can support selected parts, quantities, company details, contact details, address information, notes, quote documents, and follow-up where configured.
This is useful when prices require confirmation, availability needs review, dealers or customers submit parts requests, or the business wants quote requests before direct ecommerce transactions.

Use native ecommerce integration where supported.
For supported ecommerce platforms, native integration may be preferred because it can align more closely with product, category, storefront, customer, cart, and checkout behavior. Shopware is the named native integration story on this page.
Explore Shopware integrationCustom handoff for portals and flexible workflows.
For custom portals, unsupported platforms, or phased integrations, selected parts can be sent from the PartGrid viewer to the parent page through postMessage. The parent page can then add items to cart, open a quote flow, call an API, or connect to another workflow.

FAQ
Cart and quote handoff questions.
Do we have to use PartGrid's cart?+
No. PartGrid can support multiple handoff paths: built-in cart and quote workflows, selected-part handoff through postMessage, native ecommerce integrations where supported, or custom implementation.
Can we use PartGrid's built-in cart and quote management?+
Yes. PartGrid can provide built-in cart and quote request functionality when you want a native workflow for collecting selected parts and managing quote requests.
Can we use our own cart or quote flow?+
Yes. Selected parts can be sent to the parent site or portal, allowing your application to decide what happens next.
Is postMessage the only way to integrate PartGrid?+
No. postMessage is one flexible handoff pattern for embedded and custom workflows. PartGrid can also support built-in cart and quote workflows and native ecommerce integrations where implemented.
Which ecommerce platforms are supported?+
Shopware is the clearest current native ecommerce integration story. Other platforms should be discussed as confirmed integrations, roadmap items, or custom-scoped integrations depending on implementation status.
Can PartGrid support quote-only workflows?+
Yes. Quote-only workflows are a strong fit, especially when pricing, availability, freight, fitment, or dealer review is needed before checkout.
What data is sent when parts are selected?+
Exact payloads should be confirmed in implementation documentation. Selected part data may include part identifiers, part numbers, quantities, schematic context, collection context, price context, product URL, and other fields needed for the receiving workflow.
Does PartGrid handle final pricing, tax, shipping, and checkout?+
PartGrid can provide catalog and selected-part context and support quote workflows. Final pricing, tax, shipping, checkout, payment, and fulfillment may still be handled by ecommerce, ERP, CPQ, quote, or backend systems.
Connect visual part selection to the workflow you already use.
Start with PartGrid's built-in cart and quote workflow, connect custom workflows through selected-part handoff, or use native ecommerce integrations where supported.
