Looking at the "Sneak Peeks" it looks lite on the ecommerce ...again. We need many missing "easy to use" "canned" ecommerce features that don't require script writing and/or an IT department to use. Sitemaps were on there (carried over from the last release) and if you exclude that reused enhancement, then ecommerce was…

I agree with ifaxsoln. We've spent very little time with our past beta accounts because usually the upgrade had nothing that we were interested in "playing with" and we haven't written any of our own custom scripts than can break with these updates. We did look at the new release, but just not in any great depth. Now we…

We were upgraded on Friday and now have a similar Google checkout issue Action: Process order payed for via google checkout. Result: Defaults google checkout payment to deposit into general bank account Expected Result: Default google checkout payment to deposit into "google checkout account" and not "general bank…

Easier to bolt on something like Yahoo store and smooth over the integration. Like Intuit (Quickbooks Online) did with storefront. I'm all for that approach as long as it isn't yahoo store that they bolt onto. I wouldn't ever use another ecommerce cart that takes a percent of every sale. who here uses a seperate eCommerce…

I'm guessing that "the Wizard" thinks you all are asking for too much. Either that or he sincerely wants us all to have ponies. T

I do not believe it is my job to improve NS, although I appreciate what you are trying to accomplish. In 4 months I have spent an inordinate amount of time working with NS and support on issues. Extremely time consuming and takes away from running & growing the business. NS has our in put. All they have to do is look at…

NS, Have any of the sitemapping issues been address yet or are there plans to finish this feature in the near future? This was the only feature we were excited about in the last release and I'm wondering if we will ever get access to it in a useful form. -T

So - a warning to all the basic users like myself you will not be getting a sitemap. You can create one but you have no way to view it or submit it to google. You should be able to view it by going to... yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml or yourdomain.com/sitemap.html assuming that it creates both a XML and a HTML sitemap. T

The sitemap reminds me of the product feeds. We wanted product feeds, but we wanted automated product feeds that automatically electronically transferred feeds directly from NS to various product search engines. Instead we get a report that we can export and doctor up to suit the feeds and then upload to various locations…

> Is there anyway to schedule the sitemap generator to run, say, on a weekly basis? Not that I know of. -Tom PS: Is there a way to make the HTML sitemap have both items and categories and not just a map of the categories?

We should be able to specify the "default category" for any item that is in two categories (for the sitemap) and it is unrelated to sitemaps, but it should also effect which item is found using the webstore's "item search" feature. Right now when we put something on special it is found in the specials category and not in…

Is there a way to make the HTML sitemap with both items and categories and not just the categories? -Tom

For the best SEO results, should the sitemap have every page or just the category pages in its HTML sitemap? I'd prefer every page with the categories being in a bigger and bolder font and the items indented like a typical directory tree. Here is the one created by NetSuite... http://www.signsdirect.com/Sitemap.html Here…

I don't have v.2009.2. Did they already fix the non-descriptive URL issue? -Tom

We don't have v.2009.2, but reading this post it looks like the feature we most desired in v.2009.2 won't be helpful to anyone wanting increased SEO with less effort (until the feature is fixed). This has happened before and it is so incredibly frustrating. You lobby for a feature and wait years for the feature and then it…

Product Feed enhancements for international companies with multi-sites and multi-currencies in v2009.2. Why not add a button to auto-upload feeds (via FTP) directly to Froogle and NexTag etc (like feed-perfect does)? 100% of NS users that advertise on product search engines have to manually FTP their feeds to the engine,…

If it gives you any clues, the NS support center still shows Google Checkout (Enh No. 109287) as "Release Target = Under Review" and "Status = "Tentatively Planned" and that enhancement has already been partially released. I don't think they have the resources to stay on top of enhancement status communications. T

Notification of beta start and release date is provided in the New Feature Port let on your dashboard by August 17, 2009. In addition to schedule dates the New Feature Port let will include sneak peeks and release notes for your review in preparation for beta review. We strongly suggest that you utilize the beta period to…

The issue is when you select un-display on a child item, that option continues to appear on line. Customers can not purchase it- they get the out of stock message- However it is very frustrating for the customer to try to try an find a combination that works. Example- Item options Color, Red, Blue Size, S,M,L XL We…

Luke, did I say something about "days of development"? You lost me. T

Ohh, you said "days of development", I was referring to "quantity of enhancements". Is the number of enhancements the same or less than the previous release ....not were the number of days in development comparable between the two releases. T

I hope you're right and that its not just less bugs because there are less enhancements in this release and/or less intrusive enhancements. If this release has the same number of enhancements as the last one, then I'm both impressed and jealous that I was first in the last upgrade not first with this "less buggy" upgrade. T

I'm sooo glad that we weren't in the first group to get updated into v2009.1. Well, then again ...you have access to all of the cool new ecommerce features and we have to wait for them. -Tom

I am confused. What are all the cool, new e-commerce features you are referring to with this update? opps. sorry Bill. bad syntax. Here it goes again... <sarcasm>you have access to all of the cool new ecommerce features and we have to wait for them</sarcasm> Feeling "let down" by highly anticipated NS releases bring out…

It is very fast, but I already found some bugs when using NetSuite in Safari 4 (on an Intel Mac). The first one occurs when I refresh my dashboard reminders. It goes for 8 different reminders down to 2. Then I click on the home tab link (to reload the page) and it is back to 8 different reminders. Tom

I had a problem viewing our WebStore in Safari. I got this error.. Safari can’t open the page http://ourdomain.com because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again. I tried our WebStore in FireFox and it loaded fine. I…

Rob, are you using it on a mac? Did you test for the refresh-reminders bug that I mentioned? -Tom

We just got the email that says that we will have beta access on March 3rd. Does that mean that we will be in the first group to switch over to v2009.1? We shouldn't be in the first group. We had a large number of crippling defects that hit us in the last major update and we were in the first group to get updated and I was…

I did the java upgrade for Mac that came out today and I also updated my Adobe reader to v9.1.2. The problem seems to have gone away. Not sure which action was responsible for the fix. -Tom

It also has an issue with printing PDFs from the NS back-office. It opens PDFs elsewhere on the web without issues, but it says it can't find a "compatible application" when i try to print to PDF from a NetSuite SO or item fulfillment. T
