NetSuite ERP drives the ecommerce experience, which means that having total access to your ERP data is essential to scaling your ecommerce solution.

SuiteCommerce comes unified with order and inventory management, CRM, and ERP.
Since it is built by NetSuite for NetSuite, all the data is accessible so that your ecommerce solution can change as your business changes. You won't hit a roadblock keeping you from optimizing the ecommerce user experience for both B2B and B2C.

If you have already begun learning about SuiteCommerce, then you may have stumbled across two terms... SuiteCommerce Advanced (SCA) and SuiteCommerce Standard (SC).
It is important to understand the difference between the two options, since one is half the price of the other. Most people think that SuiteCommerce Standard (now just called SuiteCommerce) means that you can't customize the theme or extensions. This is not true. In fact, you can do many of the same customizations.
The primary difference is that SuiteCommerce Advanced has total access to the source code. Heavy customization that changes the architecture of the platform will require SCA.
In the Summer of 2024, Anchor Group was recognized by NetSuite as the Alliance Partner Spotlight Winner for Retail due to our work with Bus Parts Warehouse!

There are two key pieces to SEO. Data management of content (title, descriptions, details) and additional SEO customization bundles to get to number 1 on Google.
Pricing depends on the product you decide to purchase (SuiteCommerce Standard, Advanced, MyAccount, or InStore), and on any customizations or 3rd party solutions that you might be interested in purchasing and integrating.
SuiteCommerce InStore is designed for retail companies that want to provide a similar B2C experience to in-store associates as they would a traditional ecommerce website. With a full-featured POS, inventory visibility, and mobile responsive solution. Any department store relies on these systems for its retail operations. You can empower your retail employees with upselling suggestions to help increase average orders. When a customer asks an associate if a product is in stock and turns out that it is not, the associate can be informed of similar products that are in stock. This gives a retail associate the ability to convert more sales.
MyAccount is designed to give B2B organizations a stepping stone into the NetSuite ecommerce space by giving a self-service portal for customers. It replaces the premium customer center NetSuite previously used as a customer portal. It comes at a price that is less than half the cost of the SuiteCommerce standard solution. There are two types of MyAccount (standard and premium) which puts the licensing price at a range depending on which product you need. This is very customizable, just like SuiteCommerce. It is literally 1 section of the traditional SuiteCommerce product broken out to cater to organizations needing less than what SuiteCommerce is capable of delivering.
A developer can greatly modify the capability of SuiteCommerce MyAccount using both theme and extension changes. Keep in mind that options are nearly unlimited. You could display custom records, have an order form, contact information, marketing details, and other upsell features.
Overall, MyAccount is one of the best ways to get exposed to the power of SuiteCommerce. It is a perfect solution for software, hi-tech, wholesale, distribution, and manufacturing industries, providing a unified experience.
Implementation or migration to any new platform requires a level of effort and thus needs to be considered when looking into any ecommerce solution. The cost of a SuiteCommerce implementation varies greatly and also depends on what type of product you are purchasing. We will assume you want more than an activation, and want to get your solution working best for you.
These ranges do vary because different organizations have different requirements when it comes to the look-and-feel as well as the functionality of the product.
These are some general averages for each of these solutions:
