AutoPartHub - Easy Car Parts Marketplace
### Project Overview
AutoPartHub is an online marketplace that helps people buy and sell car parts easily in the United States. Sellers can quickly list their car parts by entering their car's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or the make and year of the car. The system will then create a list of parts with pictures, prices, and tips for taking good photos. Our goal is to make it simple for sellers to list parts and for buyers to find what they need.
### Key Features
1. **VIN-Based Listing**: Sellers enter the VIN of their car, and the system automatically shows all the car parts with pictures, part numbers and descriptions.
2. **Automatic Pricing Suggestions**: The platform suggests prices for parts based on current market trends.
3. **SEO Optimization**: Our site is designed to rank high on search engines, making it easy for buyers to find parts.
4. **User-Friendly Interface**: The website is easy to use for both sellers and buyers.
5. **Photo Instructions**: Step-by-step guides on how to take good photos of car parts.
6. **Secure Transactions**: Safe and secure payment options.
7. **Customer Support**: Help and support for any questions or issues.
8. Nested Parts Listing: Sellers can choose to list parts as whole units or break them down into smaller parts. For example, an engine can be sold as a whole or parted out. If the seller decides to part out the engine, they can still list the entire engine, but if any internal part is sold, the whole engine listing is removed.
9. Sets of Parts: Sellers can list sets of parts, such as engine injectors, as a complete set or individually. If one injector from a set of six is sold, the listing updates to a set of five.
### Target Audience
- **Individual Sellers**: Car owners who want to sell spare parts.
- **Auto Repair Shops**: Shops that need to sell extra parts.
- **Car Enthusiasts**: People looking for specific parts for their cars.
### Project Goals
- **Market Penetration**: Make AutoPartHub the main place to buy and sell car parts in the USA.
- **User Acquisition**: Attract and keep many sellers and buyers.
- **Revenue Generation**: Make money through fees, premium listings, and ads.
### Technologies Used
- **Frontend**: Next.js for the user interface.
- **Backend**: Django for managing data and server tasks.
- **Database**: PostgreSQL for storing data.
