# Accessories and gear

> Parts, accessories, and apparel a buyer can add during checkout.

Accessories and gear are added in the buyer's flow, so they arrive with the vehicle rather than needing a second visit.

## Parts and accessories

Managed in their own table, separate from vehicles.

* **Edit** an accessory to set its details and price
* **Publish or unpublish** to control whether buyers can see and buy it
* **Sync from DMS** to pull your existing catalogue rather than entering items by hand
* **Delete** items you no longer carry
* **Assign accessories to vehicles** so the right items are offered with the right unit

<Tip>
  Assignment is what makes this work. A buyer configuring a specific bike should be offered gear that fits it, not your whole catalogue.
</Tip>

## Clothing and gear

Apparel such as jackets, gloves, helmets, and boots, offered during checkout the same way.

## Why it is worth setting up

An accessory sale attached to a vehicle costs you nothing extra to win. The buyer is already in a buying decision and already entering payment details, which is the easiest upsell you will ever get.

Gear is also the category buyers most often forget they need until prompted. A first-time rider buying a bike genuinely needs a helmet.

<Note>
  Accessories appear in checkout only when they are **published** and **assigned** to that vehicle. If something is not showing up, check both.
