Custom Content Type

This information refers to the Kilimanjaro release of SuiteCommerce Advanced or later.

Site Management Tools custom content type provides a platform for Commerce extension developers to create custom website applications or features that are enabled and managed through the SMT user interface. This enables Commerce users to implement custom content and expand functionality of their website with Site Management Tools. The process for implementing CCTs on your Commerce site can be broken down into two major activities. The first activity is to create your custom Commerce module. This consists of creating your JavaScript code, CSS, and other supporting custom module resources. These must all be implemented in following Commerce best practice.

See Create Custom Content Types for SMT for best practice on creating a custom CCT module.

After you create your custom module, the next step is to setup the CCT for use in SMT. This process includes the following:

Create the custom records and fields for your custom content type. See Custom Record for Custom Content Type.
Create the Content Type Record for your custom content type. See CMS Content Type Record.
Enable the Custom Content Type in the SMT Content Manager. See Settings.
