In "Customize Text", on the "Headings" tab, I edited the cart progress text across the top of the checkout area so they are links. Nice tip! Thanks, Tom

Version 2012 Release 1 includes the following six enhancements to Web Site features: • SuiteScript Server Pages (SSP) Applications (Beta) • Reference Cart and Checkout • Web Site Email Templates • Customize Web Site Text Groups • Bulk Edits of URL Redirects • Direct File Editing T PS: "Reference Cart and Checkout" provides…

Netsuite is being left in the dust with this feature being added to most every other cart on the market. This isn't the only missing ecommerce feature. There are many of them (like faceted navigation) and each year the list gets longer, not shorter. NS has been evolving the web-store portion of NS at a fraction of the pace…

The 2009.2 release is going to include many of the top ecommerce enhancement requests, focused primarily around checkout. This is great news unless it is fairly limited to checkout. It should have lots of SEO improvements like fixing of the encrypted IMAGE URLs in the webstore that excludes NS users from any free Google…

Evan wrote on 6/2007: We are looking at upgrading checkout in our next year's release. This would include significantly more customizationa s well as a one-page checkout option. John Doyle wrote on 3/2009: Per Evans quote above (june 2007!), it is now very apparent that NS has more or less stopped development of the…

I also agree. simple is best everywhere (from and back end) and Amazon has a one page check-out (after you are a customer) and it is part of the reason that I prefer shopping there. T PS: I looked at the ecommerce service that Chris mentioned. It looks like their TOP level of ecommerce is only $99/month. It also says…

Baruch, I assume that each site will have it's own "site theme" preference (not one global site theme for all sites). I can see the "Multi Site feature" helping as a testing tool. I don't see how it will help us as a staging tool. Lets say that I want to add a new line of items and they are matrix and can't be imported.…

I don't use or care about those two features as much as the lacking ones that I mentioned. We had no problem keeping our Yahoo store "clean". We pay more than twice what we did for that other service that you mentioned ...now I am expected to pay even more to get a non-user friendly "staging area workaround" in NS. T

OK, good ideas, but the multi-site feature is still best suited for multi-sites and not for a staging area... 1. it still cost extra for staging using multi-site (maybe everyone should get one staging/test site for free) ..as most other ecommerce offer staging and I have yet to see one that charges extra for staging. 2.…

One Page Checkout. Now that would be intuitive, "Amazon.com-like" experience for our customers. Tom http://www.netsuite.com/portal/industries/ecommerce.shtml

Our cart abandonment has been 8.5% and checkout abandonment has been about 1.25% for the last quarter. So, looking at what others are reporting, I guess we can't complain about those two issues. I wonder how much this varies based on what you type of product you are selling and on what channels you are advertising. Poorly…

Now, if in v11 I could switch an item from a multiple child Matrix to a "one available item matrix" and make the pull-down option menu go away (on the web store) so it behaves like a standard non-matrix item. Also switching from non-inventory to inventory would be nice. Sorry, that doesn't help with your question. T

Baruch Goldwasser, I have been trying passing a Partner ID in a "Promotional URL". I created "partner123" and I created a Promotional URL and set it so that "Additional Parameters" is set to "partner=partner123". I clear cookies in the browser and went to the Promotional URL. I register as a NEW customer using the fake…

I recently looked into NON-NS search "utilities" that i could plug into any e-commerce site (including NS). I saw one feature in a "search utility site" that would be nice in our NS in-site searches...that is a search that learns what items sell better related to any specific search term and shows those results first. So…

Image resizing would be nice. Not global, but rather a per-layout setting. Automated Google sitemaps are over-due. ... -Tom

Testing environment (how can I possibly play with "setup -> Customization ->web site themes" without a testing environment)? I'm afraid to ask for anything else because it always seems that e-commerce features that I PUSH HARD for are added to "add on modules" even though I already purchased the "full NetSuite". I asked…

Matthew, this thread is for e-commerce related NS "dreams". Lets start a thread about what you would like NetSuite to add regarding ecommerce features

Our "cart abandonment" and "checkout abandonment" are both up this week. What do other people average. We get about 4% "cart abandonment" and "checkout abandonment" of .75%. T

Bun, ..any new PowerReview connecters out there?

Yes! A testing environment!!!! And by this I mean either: 1) An actual testing account (at a reasonable cost) 2) The ability to use our own accounts BUT with a testing version CoA and the ability to flag transactions as "test" so they hit the test CoA and not the real one. I mean something more like yahoo store. You have…

There is one problem with this. We would LIKE to have descriptive image URLs (like dog.gif and not /core/media/media.nlid=3488&c=363017&h=b41e28416471be7993 ) and with the regular NS item tag (of storedisplayimagehtml) we wouldn't get descriptive URLS ... but we would get some descriptive attributes added to our image ...…

Ahhh found it. <img src='<%=getCurrentAttribute('item','storeDisplayImage')%>' border='0' height='120'>

I have thought about that sizing/performance question, but never researched the answer. I would think that using two unique full-sized images would use more bandwidth, but would be rendered faster by the CPU after it has downloaded. Using one large image for both icons and "actual product images" would use less bandwidth…

Bill, I think he meant to say that the NETSUITE METHOD of making them case insensitive would hurt the page rankings. It isn't that "having a specific case" makes a URL rank higher or lower ...it is that in NetSuite World, having case SENSITIVE URLs currently makes them rank higher ...until NetSuite finds a better way to…

The more I think about this problem ...the more it bothers me. Several years back we paid thousands of dollars to shorten our domain to get a simpler URL. We went from standard-signs.com to signsdirect.com and we did it to get a shorter (quicker to type) domain and we did it to get away from the hyphen or dash because is…

This explains the problem I was having YESTERDAY. What a debacle by NS!!! so, if a user capitalizes just one letter in any URL (other than the root URL) or if we accidently capitalize a letter in any HTML links in any of our many custom designed NS hosted web pages ... we get "page not found" ...bad URL error in our…

Wow, Just got the price from NS on what each additional site will cost per month?? Thanks, but no thanks.... Sounds like our response to the eBay feature. It was priced out of the realm of economic feasibility (for our expected eBay volume). We waited in anticipation and got more and more excited and then got blue balled…

Maybe the development team at NS could look at this web page... http://www.google.com/base/api/demo/html/demo.html For a "real" Froogle (Google base) integration, we would need some missing fields ADDED to the items in NetSuite. We can't do a Froogle(Google Base), Shopzilla/Shopping.com or Yahoo Shopping integration…

We gave up on exporting from NS. We export all fields as CSV and import into a filemaker pro database and crunch them down and export to the various feeds from filemakerPro. You could do something similar in Excel, but in filemaker you have ability to make scripts that can export data using pre-defined "rules" and also…
