Creating a new Site

In NetSuite, you can create new site types following this process.

To create a new website

  1. Go to Commerce > Websites > New.

    This displays the New Web Site screen which describes each of the different types of websites.

    To determine which product to select, review the description of each site type. For more detailed information, you can also refer to the Commerce product overview table in SuiteCommerce Website Comparisons.

    You need to have a license available for the selected product. In addition, the relevant feature needs to be enabled. You should contact your NetSuite administrator in case you do not have a provisioned license.

  2. After identifying the product you need, click Select for the site type you want to create.

    Note:

    As a prerequisite for selecting a given type, make sure you have a license available for the selected product. Contact your NetSuite administrator if this is not the case. You also need to enable the relevant feature. For more information, see Enabling Features.

  3. You are now in the your new site’s Web Site Setup record, where you can edit the relevant fields to get the new site up and running.

  4. In Display Name, enter the new website name.

    Note:

    Do not use special character “‘” as part of the display name.

  5. Next, enter the Internal Name, even if this is the same as the Display Name.

    Note:

    Do not use special character “‘” as part of the display name.

    Note that the Web Site Setup record already displays the site type you have selected in step 3. As such, when the selected site type is SuiteCommerce Advanced, the type displayed in this record is SuiteCommerce Advanced.

  6. Proceed to set up the new website by selecting all the different values under each tab. The tabs and fields available may differ depending on the product selected and other features enabled.

    If you are setting up a Commerce web store, you can refer to the Prepare the Web Site Setup Record topic for information about how to fill in the Setup, Shopping and Search Index tabs, as well as for details on how to import the Field Sets.

    If you are setting up SCIS, refer to Setting Up the SCIS Website for further information.

  7. For reference on how to fill in the Analytics tab, see Analytics Preferences.

  8. Move on to the Email tab, by following the instructions under Email Management.

  9. Proceed to the Upsell tab, which you can fill in by referring to Website Setup.

  10. In the Images tab, add the required information, as per the Set the Image Domain and Image Folder help topic.

  11. For Touch Points and Domains, note that linking a domain to an SSP application should create all the necessary touch points. If you need to do this manually, see Select Supported Touch Points.

  12. Finally, fill in the System Notes tab by referring to Website System Notes.

After completion of these steps, you should be able to save the new website record by clicking on Save.
