| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Rego | A vehicle's registration (number plate). Customers enter their rego + state to find their car. |
| State | The Australian state/territory the vehicle is registered in (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, ACT, NT). Required alongside the rego because plates are only unique within a state. |
| Vehicle ID | The internal identifier the API returns for a specific car once it's been looked up. Used to fetch that car's compatible batteries. |
| Compatible parts / fitment | The list of batteries that fit a given vehicle, returned by the API. Only batteries that also exist as Shopify products are shown. |
| SKU | The product code that links a Shopify battery product to the fitment data in the API. If these don't match, the battery won't appear as compatible. See Managing battery products. |
| Postcode capabilities | Whether delivery and at-home installation are available for a postcode, resolved from postcode_capabilities metaobjects. See the appendix. |
| Installation service | A dedicated Shopify product representing the labour of fitting a battery. It's added to the cart alongside the battery when a customer books installation. |
| Order ID | An identifier reserved from the booking system before checkout. The battery and the installation service in the cart both carry the same Order ID so the office can tie them together. |
| Line-item property | Hidden metadata attached to a cart/order line (e.g. the rego, the appointment slot, the Order ID). See the line-item property reference. |
| Web Pixel | Shopify's sandboxed script that loads Google Tag Manager and forwards events. See Tracking. |
| Debug mode | A theme setting that points the store at the staging API and adds developer logging. See Debug mode. |
| Staging / Production | Two separate environments. Staging is owned by Conversion Kings; Production is owned by Car Battery Pro. See Who owns what. |

| Block | A sub-component inside a section (e.g. a Bullet or Step). |
| Metafield | A custom data field attached to a product/page (e.g. a battery's key_features), edited in the Shopify admin. See Managing battery products. |
| Metaobject | A reusable structured content entry (e.g. a single FAQ or a reviews widget), edited under Shopify Admin → Content → Metaobjects. See Metaobjects. |
| Page template | A fixed arrangement of sections that gives certain pages their structure (e.g. the Scheduling tool). See Page templates. |
