Set up Accounting Preferences for Web Stores

Set your accounting preferences so your NetSuite account can process orders from your Commerce web store. The following steps show you how to set up preferences for online payments, credit card transactions, and web order taxes.

To set up accounting preferences for your Commerce web store:

  1. Go to Setup > Accounting > Preferences > Accounting Preferences.

  2. On the Items/Transactions subtab, in the Payment Processing section, check Customers Can Pay Online to allow customers to pay for the orders they place online using credit or debit cards.

  3. Check Use Card Security Code for Credit Card Transactions to ask customers for the 3 or 4 digit card security code (CSC), usually found on the back of their card. This also adds an image to help customers find their CSC.

    Note:

    To verify CSCs on your website, enable the Process an Online Payment with Sales Order Creation option on the Website Setup record. See Require Authorization for Web Store Credit Card Transactions for information about enabling this option.

  4. Click Save.

  5. Go to Setup > Accounting > Taxes > Set Up Taxes.

    Note:

    Tax estimates displayed in your web store for guest shoppers reflect the default tax configurations you set on the Set Up Taxes page in NetSuite. This tax information is sent to your web store by the Commerce API, but the Commerce API doesn't calculate taxes. If you don't use SuiteTax, you should contact your tax provider to ensure tax calculations are accurate.

  6. Check Per-Line Taxes on Transactions.

    Note:

    In some cases, the Per-Line Taxes on Transactions feature conflicts with the feature, Multiple Shipping Routes. If you can't see the Per-Line Taxes on Transactions checkbox, go to Setup > Company > Enable Features, then the Transactions subtab, and clear the Multiple Shipping Routes box. Click Save. Then, return to Setup > Accounting > Taxes > Set Up Taxes and check the Per-Line Taxes on Transactions box. Afterward, re-enable the Multiple Shipping Routes feature.

  7. In the Charge Sales Tax on Store Orders field, select one of the following:

    • Always - Charge sales tax on every order.

    • Never - Leave sales tax off orders in the web store.

    • Per Customer Basis - Charge sales tax based on the Taxable checkbox on customer records.

    Note:

    If you select Always or Per Customer Basis, you must either set up tax groups or select Tax Codes Only in the Tax Code Lists Include field at Setup > Accounting > Taxes > Set Up Taxes.

  8. Click Save.
