Creating a New Site

To create a new website

1. Go to Commerce > Websites > New.

   This displays the New Website screen which describes each of the different types of websites.

   To pick the right site type, review the description of each site type. For more detailed information, see the SuiteCommerce Website Comparisons table.

   Note:

   Make sure you have a license available for the selected product and the relevant feature is enabled. You should contact your NetSuite administrator if you don't have a provisioned license. For more information, see Enabling Features.

2. After identifying the product you need, click Start Set Up for the site type you want to create.

3. You are now in the your new site’s Website Setup record, where you can edit the relevant fields to get the new site up and running.

4. In Display Name, enter the new website name.

   Note:

   Don't use the single quote special character (') as part of the display name.

5. Next, enter the Internal Name, even if it's the same as the Display Name.

   Note:

   Don't use the single quote special character (') as part of the internal name.

   Note that the Website Setup record already displays the site type you selected in step 3. For example, if you selected SuiteCommerce Advanced as the site type, that's the type displayed.

6. Continue setting up the new website by filling in the fields under each tab. The tabs and fields available may differ depending on the product selected and other features enabled.

   If you're setting up a Commerce web store, you can refer to the Prepare the Web Site Setup Record topic for information about how to fill in the Setup, Shopping and Search Index tabs, as well as for details on how to import the Field Sets.
