Set Up Domains for Web Stores

Before you start setting up domains for your online store, you need to know which types you want to use. The possibilities are:

• Single secure domain for both shopping and checkout -follow the steps in Set Up a Domain for the domain type Single Domain for Web Store and Checkout.

  This type of domain lets you run both shopping and checkout on one secure HTTPS domain. A single domain gives your customers a seamless buying experience.

  Note:

  The following requirements and limitations apply:

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

  • You can’t use Single Domain for Web Store and Checkout domains in Site Builder.

• Secure shopping domain combined with separate secure checkout domain

  • For the shopping domain, follow the steps in Set Up a Domain for the domain type Web Store Only. Make sure you follow the steps in Secure Your Domain to secure the domain.

  • For the secure checkout domain:

    • If you want to use a preset checkout domain, this is set up automatically when you set up a Web Store Only domain.

    • If you’d rather use a custom checkout domain, follow the steps in Set Up a Domain for the domain type Checkout Only.

    To link a custom checkout domain or an unbranded NetSuite checkout subdomain with the secure shopping domain, follow the steps in Link a Checkout Domain with Your Web Store.

For more information about these domain types, see Types of Domains and Domain Options for Web Stores.

After you have set up the domains you need, you must Point Your Domain Name at Your Domain (DNS Settings). Doing so makes it available to your customers.

To add to your web store, you can also set up the following types of domain as described in Set Up a Domain.

• Hosted Web Page— Hosted web page domains aren’t linked to a Web Site Setup record and don’t offer web store features like checkout. However, you can use them for any static website, like a promotional site.

• Redirect URL— Redirect URL domains send visitors to a different website or page. See SEO and Redirects for more information.

• Promotional URL— Promotional URL domains send visitors to a promotional URL you create at Setup > Other Setup > Promotional URLs > New. See Promotional URLs and for more information.

• Email Campaign Domain— Email campaign domains replace references to netsuite.com in your email and marketing templates with your own domain. You’ll need this if you send more than 10,000 emails a month with campaigns or email merge operations. See Website Domains and Email Hosting and for more information.

You’ll need to set up all of these domains as secure. See Secure Your Domain.

After you’ve set up your domain, the Domain Health Status feature shows you if the setup has been done correctly and provides guidance on how to fix any errors. See Troubleshoot Domain Setup Errors for details.
