Improving the MTD parts lookup on your site
Effective with the November 2013 update, ARI and MTD have made it easier for you to access MTD
data by consolidating the White Outdoor catalog with MTD.
At the end of February 2014, we will globally disable access to White Outdoor as a separate catalog on
your site. If you currently subscribe to White Outdoor, you may need to modify your website. Our goal is
to provide you with enough time to make the necessary changes you need so that your site continues to
operate seamlessly.
Keep the following check list in mind to ensure that your website continues to operate seamlessly for
your customers.
Redirect links to the correct brand
Modify pricing to accommodate the merged catalog
Map brand codes to your business management system
Remember that search engine results may not function correctly until your site is re-indexed
Redirect links to the correct brand
When you set up your website, you may have created brand specific links to the OEM parts finder. These
links allow users on your site to directly link to a pre-selected brand or model within the parts finder.
Your website already includes some basic brand specific links. For example, when a user clicks OEM
Parts in the top menu bar, then selects White Outdoor, the OEM parts finder automatically pre-selects
White Outdoor as the manufacturer.
You can create links like this in multiple areas of your site. When you do this, you minimize the number
of clicks users need to find the right information. If you have created your own brand-specific links to
White Outdoor, you will need to re-direct those links to the MTD brand.
Modify pricing to accommodate the merged catalog
When you disable White Outdoor as separate brands, pricing is another item you will want to check on
your website to ensure that any unique pricing rules you have set for White Outdoor now applies to the
MTD catalog. You can modify your pricing by accessing the OEM Parts, then Brand Settings section of
your administration tool by:
