SuiteCommerce Developer Tools Require Token-Based Authentication

Applies to: SuiteCommerce, SuiteCommerce Advanced, and SiteBuilder

All versions of the SuiteCommerce Developer Tools, including the Extension, Theme, and SuiteCommerce Advanced command-line tools, now require token-based authentication when connecting to NetSuite. Starting with NetSuite release 2021.1.0, the developer tools no longer accept user credentials for authentication with NetSuite. This change is required for compliance with the Mandatory Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) policy for Administrators and other highly privileged roles. For more information, see Token Based Authentication.

For SuiteCommerce Advanced and SiteBuilder implementations, apply a patch to prepare your installation for token-based authentication as described in Enable Token-Based Authentication.

Extensibility API Updates

The 2021.1.0 release of SuiteCommerce includes new components as well as updates to existing components:

Search – The Search component is a new component in release 2021.1. It enables you to get the base URL of the Item Search API. You can pass in a number of parameters, which are attached as querystring parameters to the returned URL.

Environment – The Environment component includes two new methods to register trackers in the application (addTracker()) and to trigger custom events (triggerEvent()). Trackers enable you to do something in response to application events such as cart updates, page views, or the completion of a transaction. You define a tracker as an object with application events as properties and a function as a value of the property. Custom events can be triggered with the new method triggerEvent(). Define custom events in a tracker object and register them with addTracker(). Then trigger the custom event elsewhere in the extension to invoke the function.

UserProfile – Retrieve credit card details with the new method getCreditCards() in the UserProfile component. This method returns an array of all credit cards of the visitor currently logged in to your SuiteCommerce web store. Credit card information includes data such as the card holder name, card number, and expiration date.

Cart – The following new methods are available in the Cart component in this release:

• getLatestAddition() -Retrieves information about the item that was last added to the cart.

• setPurchaseOrderNumber() and getPurchaseOrderNumber() -These methods enable you to set a purchase order number on the order and retrieve the purchase order number if it is already set.

• setShipMethod() -Sets the shipping method on the order.

• setTransactionBodyField() -Lets you set the value of a custom transaction body field.

See the Extensibility API reference for detailed information about the updates to these components.
