Deploying SSP Applications in SuiteC...

Deploying your SuiteCommerce Advanced (SCA) SSP application allows you to implement local customizations directly to your site, optimizing user experience and functionality. This guide walks you through the deployment process after ensuring your customizations are thoroughly tested locally.

Overview of Deployment Process

Once you have verified your customizations locally, you can deploy your source files to the SCA Development SSP. After this, the next step is to deploy the SSP application to your live website for users to access the updated features.

Steps to Deploy the Development SSP Application

Follow these steps to deploy your Development SSP application to your site:

Navigate to Commerce > Hosting > SSP Applications within your NetSuite dashboard. Click View next to the SuiteCommerce Advanced - Dev application.
Click on Link to Site.
In the Site field, select the desired site for deployment. Note that only pre-configured sites will be listed, so ensure your website record is set up prior.
Click Save to complete the deployment process.

Once completed, you can access the updated site using the domain defined for it.

Best Practices

Site Preparation: Ensure that your sites are configured correctly before attempting to deploy the SSP application.
Regular Testing: Continuously test your local customizations in a development environment before each deployment to avoid issues on the live site.
Backup Files: Maintain a backup of your source files before deploying to safeguard against potential data loss during the deployment process.
