Shop Functions – Ordering Made Easy






1. Smartphone Scan - Ordering via Barcodes with Your Smartphone or Tablet

When our shop is accessed on a smartphone or tablet, a symbol labelled "Scanner" appears at the top right corner.

Scanner Symbol

Clicking on this symbol activates the camera function, allowing you to scan a barcode. Our shop searches the scanned barcode in the system and displays the corresponding product.

Scan Barcode

You can then enter the desired quantity and add the product to the shopping cart. Use the symbol at the bottom left to start a new scan.

Benefits:

  • Quick and easy ordering
  • No typos or number errors
  • No expensive barcode scanner required – use your smartphone or tablet
  • No installation needed, works on all operating systems (iOS, Android)

Does your warehouse lack barcodes?

We can print product labels with barcodes for you upon request. These are double-sided adhesive – simply peel and label your storage bins. Alternatively, we can send you Schmitter warehouse labels free of charge. Contact our internal or external sales team for assistance.

2. Ordering with External Article Numbers

In our shop, you can find products not only using Schmitter article numbers or names but also via external article numbers, e.g., from manufacturers, competitors, or your own system.

Our system uses predefined cross-referencing tables to recognise many external article numbers automatically.

If you'd like to order using your own article numbers, simply share your cross-referencing list with us. We'll upload it, enabling you to use it for future orders.

3. Cross-Referencing

Converting External Article Numbers

Our shop recognises many external article numbers. If searching for an external article number returns no results, let us know your desired numbers, and we'll add them to our system.

External Article Number Example

Customer-Specific Article Numbers

Do you have your own article numbers for our products? Share them with us, and we'll store them in our system for you. This allows you to use your article numbers for searches and orders in the future.

Your article numbers will appear in the following areas:

  • Product detail page
  • Shopping cart
  • Watchlist
  • Compare list
  • Order confirmation

Usage Options:

  • Article imports
  • Scanner
  • Product search
  • Excel exports

4. Fast entry

If you wish to order multiple items, use the quick order options:

Fast entry via Import products

Do you have an Excel, CSV, or text file containing order numbers and quantities? Import them directly, and our system will automatically populate your shopping basket.

Article import example
  • Excel (xlsx): Copy the content directly from the file into the designated window.
  • CSV and text files: Drag the file (CSV or TXT) directly into the window. Our shop system will then automatically populate the basket. (Sample files: CSV, TXT)
  • Important format: ArticleNumber;Quantity (separating article number and quantity with a semicolon).
  • Click on "Start Import" to add the items to your basket.

Fast entry "Table"

Tabular quick entry

Simply enter the article numbers and order quantities. These will be added to the basket after clicking on "Start Import." Use the "Add New Row" button to expand the table for additional items.

Fast entry "Single entry"

Single entry quick order

With single entry, you can go directly to the "Article Search." Here, you can use search terms (article number, description, or parts thereof) to find the desired item as usual.

5. Using Product Filters

Product filters allow you to search for specific items and refine results based on various criteria. Use filters to narrow your selection and quickly find the right product.

On category pages, you can activate product filters via the following button:

The available product filters will now be displayed.

Filter options

Click on the desired filter to see available filter values.

Filter values

Select a value and click Search to restrict the product display to relevant items.

Helpful Tips:

  • In our webshop, you can activate multiple filters simultaneously for more precise results. Ensure the filters complement each other for relevant outcomes.
  • If you want to modify your selection, you can reset all filters (Reset Search), adjust individual filters (Edit icon), or remove them (Bin icon).
  • Some filters have a step-range function, allowing you to set a "from - to" value range.
  • A filtering function is also available above the variant table on the product detail page.

Filter results are updated in real-time, giving you an instant overview of available products.
