How did we build this project?
Project overview
A B2B-oriented e-commerce solution built for ARC Services Co., a US-based supplier of copier parts, toners, refurbished copiers, and related equipment serving businesses across multiple states. The project was developed on nopCommerce, customized to support the specific workflow of selling technical parts and machinery online, with a focus on fast part lookup, multi-location fulfillment, and clear product identification.
A custom theme was built to give the store a clean, professional, utility-first look that prioritizes scannability and quick decision-making — essential for technicians, procurement teams, and service businesses who need to find the right part fast. The platform was tailored to handle a structured catalog spanning consumables (toners, drums, fusing rollers, PM kits), refurbished copiers, replacement parts, and accessories, all clearly tagged with manufacturer and part number for unambiguous identification.
The homepage was designed as both a discovery hub and a trust-building landing page, opening with a hero slider highlighting the company's multiple US shipping locations (California, Texas, Illinois, New York) for faster delivery — a key competitive advantage. A "FREE Ground Shipping on Orders Over $99" promotional bar reinforces the offer site-wide, while curated blocks present Specials, Used Copiers (refurbished), and Featured Products with manufacturer badges, part numbers, original/discounted pricing, and quantity-aware add-to-cart actions for direct purchasing.
The header includes a dual search experience — search by brand and search store — alongside quick links to My Account, Compare Products, Wishlist, and Cart. A category mega-navigation and dedicated top-level links (Used Copiers, Specials, Manufacturers, Support, Repairs, About Us, Contact Us) ensure that both new visitors and returning B2B customers can navigate efficiently.
The result is a fast, conversion-focused B2B e-commerce platform that combines the flexibility of nopCommerce with deep industry-specific customizations — supporting ARC Services Co.'s positioning as a reliable, fast-shipping supplier of copier parts and equipment in the US market.

The main body is organized into curated blocks — Specials, Used Copiers (refurbished), and Featured Products — each with manufacturer badges, part numbers, original/discounted pricing, and quantity-aware add-to-cart actions for direct purchasing. The page closes with a comprehensive footer covering Information, My Account, Customer Service, Contact details, and accepted payment options (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal).
The catalog page is the main product discovery screen of the online store, presenting items in a clean five-column grid with manufacturer badges, part numbers, pricing, and quick add-to-cart actions with quantity controls — supporting the rapid bulk ordering typical of B2B copier-parts purchasing.
A focused filter sidebar lets shoppers refine the catalog by price range, category (copiers, copiers - new, printer, scan units), and manufacturer (Konica Minolta, Toshiba) — a streamlined filtering system tailored to the way technicians and procurement teams shop for parts. Products without a fixed price display a clear "Call for pricing" badge, supporting the common B2B workflow of negotiated quotes for high-value items.
A breadcrumb trail, sort options, results-per-page controls, and a grid/list view toggle complete the experience, while pagination at the bottom allows easy browsing through large catalogs of technical parts and equipment.
The brand page presents the full collection of products from a specific manufacturer in a clean five-column grid, helping technicians and procurement teams browse all available parts and equipment from a trusted supplier (e.g., Hewlett Packard) in one place. Each product card includes the manufacturer badge, product name, part number, pricing (or "Call for pricing"), and a quantity-aware add-to-cart action.
A short manufacturer description at the top introduces the brand and links to its official website — adding context and reinforcing the legitimacy of the catalog. The same focused filter sidebar (price range, category) adapts to the brand's available products, while sort options and a grid/list view toggle support fast browsing.
The result is both a shopping destination and a brand-aligned catalog, helping customers who shop by manufacturer quickly find the exact part or unit they need.
The product detail page gives B2B customers all the information needed to confidently purchase complex equipment like a refurbished copier. A product image gallery on the left shows the unit and supporting documents (specifications, schematics) from multiple angles, while the main panel displays the product name, manufacturer link, manufacturer part number, social share options, ratings, and an "Add to compare list" action.
On the right, a pricing block highlights the price and an optional lease offer ("Lease For Only: $54/mo."), supporting both outright purchases and financed acquisitions — a common B2B requirement. A "Please select the address you want to ship to" selector and an "Add to wishlist" action complete the buying panel.
Below the main section, tabbed navigation organizes Parts, Overview, Shipping and Delivery, and Reviews. The standout Parts tab is a deep, custom feature: it presents every replacement part associated with the unit in a filterable grid, with a sidebar covering price range and dozens of part categories (accessories, actuators, AIDC/ATDC sensors, bearings/bushings/washers, cables, clutches, control panel, covers, developing units, document feeder parts, drive assemblies, drum units, duplex section parts, fax kits, finisher parts, fuser units, fusing unit parts, gears, hard drives, hinges, knobs/handles, lamps, latches, and many more). Each part card includes a manufacturer badge, name, part number, price, and quick add-to-cart — turning the product page into a complete service-and-maintenance hub.
The result is a powerful B2B product page that combines high-value equipment sales with deep parts cross-sell, supporting the full lifecycle of copier ownership from initial purchase to ongoing servicing.
The checkout is a structured, multi-step flow tailored to the requirements of B2B equipment and parts ordering. The process is broken into six clear stages — Billing Address, Shipping Address, Shipping Method, Payment Method, Payment Information, and Confirm Order — each presented in a collapsible panel that keeps the customer focused on one decision at a time.
