Preview Website Email Templates

This functionality shows you what the selected website email will look like to a web store customer. If you have multiple websites in your account or multiple languages defined in the email template, you can quickly see what the email will look like when sent in different languages from different websites. Depending on the type of email you are viewing, you can also select other options on the preview page to create a preview of a specific email.

Note:

With the 21.1 release of NetSuite, menu navigation for Setup > SuiteCommerce Advanced > Setup Website has changed to Commerce > Websites > Website List. See Commerce Tab.

Note:

Email preview is available only for system email templates for web stores. It is not available for other types of system email templates.

Watch the following help video for information about previewing system email templates.
