Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Distributor Stock Search (DSS)

What is necessary in order for a “Buy” button or “View” button to appear with a search result?

The distributor must provide TrustedParts.com a unique URL (web link) for the product in their inventory feed. If the distributor indicates a quantity in stock in their inventory feed for the product, then a “Buy” button will be displayed. Otherwise a “View” button will be displayed. If a product detail URL is not provided by the distributor in their inventory feed, neither a “Buy” nor a “View” button will appear in search results for that product.

What authorized distributors are included in the partner’s DSS tool?

The list of included authorized distributors is determined by TrustedParts.com. For specific manufacturers, you may refer to the TrustedParts.com manufacturer directory and open that manufacturer’s page to see the authorized distributors. Additionally, upon request, distributors who are not TrustedParts.com participants can be included in the DSS results for a manufacturer.
