Top Nissan dealers on RevolutionParts generate add monthly profit by selling parts and accessories online. Just 5 online part orders per day can make a huge impact on your parts department’s gross profit.
The formula for an extra $5K+
5 orders/day x $45 average profit margin = $1,575/week
Listing your Nissan catalog online allows you to sell parts and accessories seven days a week. If you can generate five parts and accessory orders per day, you stand to add upwards of $1,575 in profit each week, which shakes out to more than $6,000 per month. Could your parts team handle an extra five orders a day?
This is the actual math Nissan dealers are using to generate profit through RevolutionParts. With a year of commitment to selling online, this level of performance could be attainable for your parts department.
3 tools that do the heavy lifting:
PDC Direct Ship:
- List your entire catalog without stocking it.
- Sell and ship parts daily you don’t keep on your shelves.
- Orders are automatically fulfilled through the PDC and shipped directly to customers.
For example, many dealers use a PDC to fulfill large accessory orders or discontinued trim pieces they don’t have room to store (and wouldn’t normally keep in their inventory). That’s money you can make without taking on the risk of stocking parts that your service drive doesn’t regularly sell.
Automated pricing rules
- Set margins once, then sit back.
- Apply different strategies by category, brand, or condition.
- Respond to market changes instantly, keeping you competitive.
Nissan dealers are using RevolutionParts set-it-and-forget it pricing tools to list their entire inventory to a national customer base, sell a greater volume of parts, and increase gross profit.
“Once we got through the first couple months [with RevolutionParts], orders started climbing. It didn’t happen overnight, but it felt good to check the numbers and see they were moving in the right direction,”
— Ian Bellamy, Murfreesboro Nissan
Unified dashboard
- Online orders, customers, messages, all in one spot
- Save hours every week
- No more juggling different platforms (or sticky notes).
You can even manage everything from your phone or bulk-print shipping labels in one go. That’s a huge time saver.
Dealers using a marketing agency to market their parts see an average 10X return on marketing spend and they’re doing it with lean teams and simple tools (that’s $10 back for every $1 they spend on marketing).
Online wins at Murfreesboro Nissan
Ian runs the profitable online parts department at Murfreesboro Nissan solo.
When he launched his eCommerce store with RevolutionParts, sales were around $25,000/month. Today, he’s pulling in $50K-$60K/month in net revenue and aiming for $100K.
And he’s doing it all himself: working the parts counter, answering phones, and handling customer service.
What changed?
- ShipStation + PDC = selling parts without touching them
- Common emails are automated
- Orders, payments, invoices = managed on one screen
- Daily time commitment: ~15–30 minutes
“Every morning, I check orders, respond to emails, and move on. It’s built into my routine now,” Ian said
He’s also big on flexibility. With RP, he can update his website, post blogs, and tweak listings on his own time, something his old platform never allowed.
Favorite features:
- ShipStation integration
- Website editing
- Easy quoting + phone payments
- Clean dashboard for order management
“Give it time. Work out the early kinks, shipping, returns, pricing, and you’ll see results,” Ian said.
Objection busters: Read this before you give up
“But we’re short-staffed.”
Of course, just like most of our dealers. That’s why they use automation: RevolutionParts empowers you to do more with what you already have.
“We don’t have time.”
Some of our best-performing dealers started out with one person checking orders during lunch. You don’t need a team to start, you just need 15 minutes to check on orders and reply messages.
“Technology isn’t our strong suit.”
Luckily for you, it’s ours! RevolutionParts’ support team sets up your store, trains your staff, and stays on call. You’ve got our crew behind you rooting for your success.
“We barely get any online orders.”
That’s completely normal when you’re starting out. One store started with just 5 orders a week. Today they’re shipping 300+ per month.
