Types of Domains

You need domains for different purposes in NetSuite. All domain types available in NetSuite can and must be secured. See Secure Your Domain.

When you’re setting up an online store where your customers can browse and buy products, the following domain types are available in NetSuite:

• Web Store Only – also called the shopping domain, this is your main website where users can browse products. On its own, a web store domain acts as a product catalog. Customers can browse, but they can’t buy anything. If you want customers to buy products, you need to link the web store domain with a Checkout domain.

• Checkout Only – this is where users buy products, and where you collect payment details.

• Single Domain for Web Store and Checkout – this combines both web store and checkout functions into one secure domain, so customers can browse, add items to their basket, and check out securely.

  Note:

  If you're using SuiteCommerce MyAccount, set the Domain Type to Single Domain for Webstore and Checkout.

Depending on what you need, you can set up one or more of these domain types for your web store. For more information, see Domain Options for Web Stores.

You can also set up the following domains to add extra features to your website:

• Email Campaign – the domain you use to replace references to netsuite.com in your email and marketing templates. You’ll need this if you send more than 10,000 emails a month. For more information, see Website Domains and Email Hosting for more information.

• Hosted Web Page – the domain that points to a page in your NetSuite File Cabinet.

• Promotional URL – the domain that a promotional URL redirects to. It can be the same as your shopping domain or a separate one. For more details, see Promotional URLs.

• Redirect URL – the domain where URLs are redirected to, either to a different domain or another page. For more information, see SEO and Redirects.
