Item Record Setup
This section details how to make existing items available to site visitors for viewing and purchase on your website. If your item is not yet created, see Creating Item Records. To make your item available for display on your website, you must complete the following tasks in the item record.
How you set up your items depends on your Commerce implementation:
Item Setup for SuiteCommerce MyAccount
SuiteCommerce MyAccount (SCMA) displays item images in the following ways:
-
Purchase History
-
Returns
-
Invoices
-
Quotes
To ensure that the item image appears, you must edit the item records for all items exposed to your SCMA site. The following procedure explains how to do this manually, but you can also use NetSuite’s CSV Import feature to update multiple records.

-
Go to Lists > Accounting > Items.

Choose the item you want to include on your Commerce site.

Access the Web Store tab.

You can also make these changes using the CSV export and import features in NetSuite. To do this:

-
Make sure your customized search results include the Web Site and Category filters.
These filters map to the Site and Site Category fields, respectively.

Export your results to a CSV file. See Exporting Selected Lists and Reports as CSV Files (CSV Export) for details.
