·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

The configuration of SuiteScript-powered SSP (SuiteCommerce Standalone Platform) applications is vital for deploying customized functionality on your eCommerce site. This guide outlines how to efficiently set up your SSP applications within NetSuite after necessary files are in place.

What Are SSP Applications?

SSP applications are components that allow for custom script development and deployment in the SuiteCommerce framework. They enhance the functionality of your website, improving customer experience and operational efficiency.

Steps to Configure SSP Applications

After ensuring all required files are uploaded to NetSuite, follow these detailed steps to finalize your SSP application configuration:

  1. Access SSP Applications
    Navigate to Commerce > Hosting > SSP Applications, and click Edit next to the specific SSP application you previously created.

  2. Add Libraries

    • Go to the Libraries subtab under Scripts and click Add.
    • Locate and add the ssp_libraries.js and ssp_libraries_ext.js files.
    • These files are saved in the root directory of your SSP application at <HTML Hosting Root>:/SSP Applications/<Application Publisher>/<Application Name>.

    Note: Be aware that if there are many files in your cabinet, you may need to scroll through the list. The search function may not be updated, leading to potential 'no matches found' errors even when files exist.

  3. Define Touch Points
    In the Touch Points tab, you need to set the entry points for your SSP application connected to your web store. To define a touch point:

    • In the Name field, select the desired touch point.
    • In the Entry Page field, select the corresponding .ssp file.
    • Click Add.

    For instance, to link your shopping application to the homepage, choose the View Homepage touch point and set the Entry page as shopping.ssp.

  4. Save the Configuration
    After defining touch points, click Save to update your SSP application settings.

  5. Link Application to Domain

    • Click View next to the SSPv1 application.
    • Select Link to Domain.
    • Choose the desired domain from the Domain dropdown.
    • Click Save.

  6. Deploy SSP Application (for SCA 2019.1 or later):
    If using a single domain for shopping and checkout, follow these steps:

    • Click View next to your SSPv2 application.
    • Click Deploy to Domain.
    • Choose the domain and click Save.

    If using separate domains for shopping and checkout:

    • Click View next to your SSPv2 application.
    • Click Deploy to Site.
    • In the dropdown, select the appropriate sites, ensuring you specify the correct domain for shopping and checkout.
    • Click Save.

After completing these steps, you can visit your site to confirm the proper functionality of the configured SSP application.
