Enabling the External Catalog Site Feature
Before you can integrate your website with NetSuite, an Administrator must enable this feature in NetSuite.
To turn on the External Catalog Site feature:
-
Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
-
On the Enable Features page, click the Web Presence subtab.
-
On the Web Presence subtab, check the boxes next to Web Site, Web Store, External Catalog Site (WSDK), and Online Ordering.
-
Click Save.
After you enable the feature, the tools needed to integrate your External Catalog Site with NetSuite are immediately available. Next, ensure that you have created item records in NetSuite for all the products you want to sell online. For more information, read Setting Up Items for the Web Site.
You must also ensure that the items you want to display in your External Catalog Site are available online. To do this, check the Display in Web Site box on each item record.
When you do this, the items are automatically grouped in the Uncategorized Items list. To ensure these items appear in your site, you must either place them in categories or check Show Uncategorized Items on the website setup record. For more information, see Site Builder Tabs & Categories and Adding Items to Web Store Categories.
After you have marked each item to be available online, scripts that you copy and paste into your website become available for each item you want to display on your site. For more information, see Integrating your WSDK HTML.
If your items are not available online, then these items cannot be integrated with your website.
