NetSuite Connector Test Products Prerequisites

Create or find one or more test products to use for setting up product sync. The test products or items will have changes or adjustments to their data in the marketplace or cart, so you'll want to choose products that won't affect your live sales. Choose products that don't get much customer traffic to avoid affecting your live sales.

NetSuite Connector offers two product sync options: Price and Quantity sync, and Full Product sync. You can only run one sync at a time per connector or account combination.

Price and Quantity Sync

If you are setting up price and quantity sync, you must have test items that exist in both NetSuite and your marketplace or cart. Ensure that you meet the following prerequisites:

• The SKU in NetSuite (typically the Item Name/Number field) exactly matches the SKU in the marketplace or cart.

• If syncing price, you have a price value entered in one of the price levels on your test item in NetSuite.

• If syncing quantity, you have quantity available at one of your item locations in NetSuite. If you'd rather sync quantity from a custom field, make sure it has a quantity specified.

Full Product Sync

When setting up full product sync, choose test items based on whether you sell variation items or not. If you sell variation items, follow these prerequisites:

• Use the NetSuite matrix item type to create your variation products. When creating a matrix item, define the parent item, child items, and variation fields like size and color.

• Create a matrix item family in NetSuite for testing.

• Keep the number of subitems to 5 or fewer per test item family.

Item Fields

Most marketplaces and carts require the following fields. Fill out these basic fields for your test items in NetSuite, plus any other data you want to sync:

• Flag field in NetSuite Connector

  For more information about the Flag Field, see NetSuite Connector Storefront Flag Fields.

• Product title

• Product description

• Price

• Quantity

• Image

  For more information, see Adding Product Images for NetSuite Connector.

• Item options (size, color, and other variations)

  This is only required for variation items.

Amazon and eBay have additional required fields beyond what's listed.

Creating New Product Listings

If you want NetSuite Connector to create new product listings, make sure your test items don't already exist in your marketplace or cart.

Designating The Products To Sync

After choosing your test products, flag them for syncing so NetSuite Connector knows to sync them. Don't set all your items to sync at first, even if that's what you want to do eventually. When you go live, you will have to flag more products to sync, but for now, flag only the test products to sync.
