How to know if something is compatible?

I’ve just taken a pannier rack off a carrera hybrid to put on a different model carrera hybrid, but it won’t fit. Same with a kick stand and other parts - the holes either aren’t there or are arranged differently.

How the hell are we supposed to know what add-ons are compatible with our bikes? I’d have thought that the same make and style would be a safe bet but no.

Is it just a really tedious guessing game of buying and returning items until you find one that fits, or is there an obvious way I’m overlooking?
