I would suggest extreme caution about changing the URL format setting for any live site. Here are some of the things that can be affected: * XML site map * canonical URL tag * saved searches that produce product feeds * mismatches between NetSuite generated and hardcoded URLs * Lost link authority from improperly…

John (Baker), April was quite a while ago in terms of search engine indexing, making it not such an easy decision. In the long term, links matter more than indexing, as search engine can adjust pretty quickly to indexing new pages when a URL format has been changed, even without redirects. The reason redirects are so…

I have been working on implementing Google trusted store for a client, and finally got a real answer from Google tech support: Hi David, I placed a test order on your account and I believe I found the issue. I understand that you are using the third-party platform NetSuite for checkout. I see that this was discussed…

We have rolled out our first customer's web site with Google Trusted Stores. It will work fine with site builder driven sites, Although it does require the use of a branded checkout domain ( so your store and checkout process share the same top level domain). If you would like to roll out Google Trusted Stores for your…

Kenyin, I built it for a regular site builder site, without using any web services. All of the requirements can be done with some fairly basic JavaScript. The feeds can be automated using a saved search plus a Suitelet that is published to a URL, which Google can request once a day.

Do you have the multiple websites feature turned on under setup company > enable features? by default, if you had both the www.domain.com and domain.com versions of your site to NetSuite, it will redirect to the one it thinks is the 'main' one. This is set under site builder > set up web site, domains tab. at the very…

I was able to get this to work on a test drive account... You can see the site driven by the staging files at wolfe.fourthwc.net - I didn't upload any files to it, so all the css & images and such are missing... but it's a proof of concept.

Site Builder hasn't been updated in a long time, so the short answer is no. It's work but possible on the detail page to show the matching image for a matrix child, but it won't be drawing directly from the child record - it's all JS and custom fields. On the cart, it's even harder.

I think more than a year of silence is all the answer we're going to get. I'll go out on a limb and predict that NetSuite will follow its previous 10 years of not improving site builder in the slightest, and is instead going to push SuiteCommerce advanced as the one and only solution for a modern website. Get out those…

I built a solution for show backorders and insufficient quantities on the shopping cart page, using ajax + suitelet... it's not super easy but works for site builder, and could be ported to the reference checkout. it's disappointing that difficult and time consuming workarounds are required for such basic functionality,…

There is no .htaccess functionality in site builder or SCA.

It's unfortunate that the web is such an afterthought. Is there an enhancement request to get NetSuite to make this feature work on web orders?

Hi Belinda, Situation 1: you're accessing the Advanced Promotion (Item-based) form via Lists > Marketing > Promotions > Standard Promotions form > then choosing the Item-Based Promotion form from within the Custom Form pulldown field. If you're in Situation 1, then please go to Setup > Customization > Manage Plug-ins >…

NetSuite contacted me and asked me to change a blog post that discussed how to get a free SDN developer account. They no longer offer it.

I assume you're trying to do this through a template in site builder. You can populate a JavaScript variable with the type, then use some JavaScript or Jquery to do the rest. I haven't tested it but something like this should work: <script> if ( "<%=getCurrentAttribute('item','type')%>" === "inventoryitem") { // do stuff }…

A very frustrating shortcoming in NetSuite. The bundle definitely helps, thanks Brett!

It might be a mismatch in get/post type... is the suitelet set up for a post? I do most of my ajax stuff with a GET, like so: $.ajax({ url: 'https://forms.netsuite.com/app/site/hosting/scriptlet.nl?script=76&deploy=1&compid=**&h=**', type: 'GET', async: false, data: queryParamStr, contentType: 'application/json', dataType:…

With select fields, sometimes the output is the ID of the line, not the text value. Did you try Voltron's suggestion of adding a column with just the field ID in braces?

I believe this is currently an enhancement request. The best method I found is to just drag to select a page of redirects, then copy & paste it into excel. It will preserve the columns and worked ok for me. It's annoying to go through every page to do it, of course.

Here is a temp fix that I've rolled out for a couple dozen sites in the last hour: for a website www.domain.com go to https://www.whatsmydns.net enter www.domain.com.hosting.netsuite.com, and choose A type hopefully, at least one server will give you an IP address. Log into your DNS provider. delete the CNAME record. Add…

The Adwords conversion tracking module that NetSuite provides with reference checkout is quite poor. It tracks a conversion, but sends a zero dollar value, which makes it nearly worthless for purposes of ROI tracking. I have built a custom conversion tracking module that works with reference checkout 2.0 3.0 and sends the…

For website orders, I prefer to give my customer account 'Net 15' terms under the financial tab, then during checkout, I choose invoice as the payment method... this way, there are no authorizations hitting my credit card, but I can still test the checkout process.

If you use the workflow to send a campaign email action, I would think it would automatically use the subscription status and only send it to those who are at least soft opt-in. Might be worth testing.

I have built a solution that uses a CDN and some customizations to enable site-wide HTTPS for site builder, and have rolled it out for over a dozen sites. It works well and has a bunch of benefits, include improved performance, an organic rankings boost, and less downtime. Feel free to contact me if you'd like more…

I believe the only way to do that is to turn off the system generated email and replace it with one that is fired by a script.

You can load the online customer form in an iframe on your external site.

If you are doing e-commerce, then my priority would be to go with whatever creates the best user experience and deal with the complications on the back end as needed. It's easy to experiment with matrix items all you want before changing what exists on your website. It's hard for me to imagine a scenario where a user would…

you might consider a test drive account through the SuiteCloud developer network…it would take some work to install bundles and mimic your environment, but you could test anything you want without any concerns about conflicts or problems that it might cause in your live database.

I'm not familiar with BVSEO, but am pretty sure you can't install any SDKs in NetSuite. Sounds like you'll have to write the integration in one of those languages using outside hosting that uses suitetalk to connect with your NS account & BV.
