Discover how ifndautoparts is preparing to scale its vendor-to-buyer automotive marketplace with Easyship’s API-powered shipping integration.

Before Easyship

  • Traditional shipping platforms didn’t offer the flexibility or integration depth that ifndautoparts needed to support its custom-built workflows for buyers and sellers.

  • Most carriers required sellers to manage logistics independently, increasing friction.

  • The process of buying auto parts online is often fragmented and outdated, so ifndautoparts was designed to streamline that experience — including how shipping and tracking are handled.

  • Existing shipping tools couldn’t offer a scalable or customizable experience tied to their tech stack.

  • Vendor onboarding was delayed due to the need for a seamless, low-effort shipping flow.

With Easyship

  • Integrated Easyship’s Public API into their custom platform for direct label generation and tracking sync.

  • Built a logistics flow that auto-selects carriers based on listing type and buyer preferences.

  • Enabled vendor flexibility with a range of services from Evri, DPD, UPS, Parcelforce and more to follow.

  • Designed an invisible shipping experience that reduces seller workload and boosts buyer confidence.
  • Positioned to scale their fulfillment network with automation, tracking, and commercial rates built in.

About ifndautoparts

ifndautoparts is a UK-based marketplace redefining how automotive parts are bought and sold. Created by a family with hands-on experience and a long-standing passion for cars, the platform connects professional vendors and everyday car owners in a streamlined, part-number-driven environment. With real-time part lookup, direct vendor-to-buyer shipping, and a focus on reducing friction for both buyers and sellers, ifndautoparts is building a smarter future for the auto aftermarket.

Their Challenge

The founders of ifndautoparts set out to solve a longstanding frustration in the automotive eCommerce space: how hard it is to find and buy the right part quickly.

“As a family who’s spent years navigating this space, we saw how time-consuming it can be — calling around, browsing listings that don't show fitment, waiting for quotes.” 

  • Layla, Co-Founder, ifndautoparts

Unlike traditional resellers, ifndautoparts doesn’t hold stock or control pricing. Instead, it connects buyers directly with vendors. That model brings huge advantages — wider selection, better prices — but it also introduces complexity when it comes to fulfillment.

“Shipping can be one of the hardest parts of selling. so we needed

How Easyship Helped

Although ifndautoparts hasn’t yet started live shipping through Easyship, the team has fully integrated the Public API into their backend in preparation for their next phase of growth.

“Easyship’s Public API gave us the flexibility to build a seamless experience — from generating labels to syncing tracking — without asking sellers to use a separate platform.” 

  • Layla, Co-Founder, ifndautoparts

With the API now embedded, ifndautoparts can auto-generate carrier labels, surface real-time shipping options at checkout, and automate tracking notifications — all within their own UI.

“API-based access means we can tailor the flow to our business logic — like disabling services for certain item types or pre-filling parcel dimensions based on listing data.” 

Easyship currently powers carrier options for Evri, DPD, and UPS — chosen for their balance of cost, reliability, and tracking.

“Carrier diversity is essential for us. One vendor might ship small brake pads across town, another might need to send a gearbox across the country. We need options.” 

Results & Impact

While their vendor shipping volume is still in its early stage, ifndautoparts has already laid the groundwork for a scalable logistics strategy.

“Our backend is designed to scale with minimal friction. We’ve built automation around label creation, tracking, and buyer notifications.” 

  • Layla, Co-Founder, ifndautoparts

As they onboard more sellers and ramp up orders, the Easyship integration will enable:

  • Real-time shipping quotes and automated label generation

  • End-to-end tracking synced to the buyer view

  • Commercial shipping rates for cost-efficiency

  • Flexibility to add new carriers and service levels with ease

“Ultimately, we want shipping to be invisible — it should just work. Easyship is a foundational part of that vision.”

Looking Ahead

In the next 12 months, ifndautoparts aims to expand its seller base, support international vendors, and refine its returns process — all while keeping seller effort low and buyer satisfaction high.

“We see Easyship as more than just a label generator — it’s a logistics engine we can build on top of. With the API, we’re confident we can deliver a best-in-class experience at scale.”
