Preparing a SuiteCommerce Website Setup Record involves three main tasks:
Step 1: In NetSuite, go to Commerce > Websites > New to launch the New Web Site page.
This page describes each type of website available for you to set up. Your implementation only lets you select from options provisioned for your account.
You must have a license available to select a product. Contact your NetSuite administrator if you do not have a provisioned license for SuiteCommerce or SuiteCommerce Advanced.
Step 2: Click Select associated with your site:
Step 3: In the Display Name field, add a name that you desire to display in the heading of your site.
This name is exposed to your customers. Do not use the special character ‘ as part of the display name.
Step 4: In the Internal Name field, add a name for your site as you want it to appear in your NetSuite account.
This name is not exposed to customers. Fill in this field, even if the name is identical to your Display Name.
Step 5: On the Setup tab:
From the Default Hosting Root dropdown list (in the Home Page section), select the folder where you store HTML files for your website. This should be Website Hosting Files : Live Hosting Files.
Step 6: On the Shopping tab, Currency and Languages areas enable at least one currency and one language to be online as the default.
Step 7: To use the shipping feature on your website, check Shipping Information is Required. This applies to SuiteCommerce and SuiteCommerce Advanced releases 2020.1.2 and later.
Step 8: Establish an item image folder in the file cabinet. It should be Web Site Hosting File: Live Hosting Files: site: Item Images. Then make sure this is set as the Image Folder
NOTE: Must be completed after setting up the Domain record
Step 9: While you are at it, set the site to Compress all images:
Step 10: Establish a general item image folder in the file cabinet. Web Site Hosting File: Live Hosting Files: site: images.
Step 11: Setup Image Resizing Profiles. Recommended settings:
You can also do auto resizing of other images, but the PLP is most important.
Step 12: Save the Web Site Setup record.
Example Image Resizing:
Step 1: Copy the contents of the Field Set Script below to a text editor.
Step 2: Edit the siteID variable with the site ID you want to use. The site id is displayed in the website setup record URL after siteadmin.nl ?
The default value of 9999 fails, since no site is ever assigned an ID of 9999. In most cases, the site ID will be 2.
Step 3: Set the configurable options as required.
Each Field Set Setup Script includes a few options you can set. The default options add fields for using Product Reviews but not for Pickup In Store. Set the has_store_pickup flag to true if you intend to use Pickup In Store in your web store.
Step 4: Optionally, add any field set definitions as needed for your site.
Important: The Field Set to return item details is named details. If you decide to use a different name, you must configure that change. If you need assistance with this process, contact our team for support!
Step 5: Save your modified script.
Your modified script can be used to replicate a site setup during development quickly.
Step 6: Execute the script in the SuiteScript debugger.
After the script has been executed, you can check that the field sets are properly populated in the Field Sets tab of the Web Site Setup record.
When you have completed this initial field set setup, you should now set up a rudimentary item search index for your web store. If you need assistance with this, contact our team!
