Domain Setup for Secure Online Stores in NetSuite

Setting up domains for your online store in NetSuite is essential for ensuring a secure and seamless shopping experience for customers. There are different types of domains you can configure based on your specific needs.

What Types of Domains Can You Set Up?

NetSuite allows for various domain configurations:

• Single Secure Domain for Shopping and Checkout: This option allows both shopping and checkout functionalities to run under one secure HTTPS domain. It provides a cohesive experience for users.

  • Important Notes:
    • If you're using SuiteCommerce MyAccount, you must choose this domain type.
    • This option is not compatible with Site Builder.

• Secure Shopping Domain with Separate Checkout Domain:

  • Shopping Domain: Secure it as a Web Store Only domain, following the guidelines in Set Up a Domain.
  • Checkout Domain:
    • If you opt for a preset checkout domain, it automatically configures when setting up the Web Store Only.
    • For a custom checkout domain, select the Checkout Only option, and follow the setup instructions.
  • To link a custom checkout domain to your secure shopping domain, refer to Link a Checkout Domain with Your Web Store.

Additional Domain Types

Besides the main domain types, you can also set up the following:

• Hosted Web Page: Suitable for static sites and not linked to a Web Site Setup record, lacking checkout features.
• Redirect URL: Directs users to alternate websites or pages.
• Promotional URL: Links to a promotional URL you create within the Setup area.
• Email Campaign Domain: Essential for substituting netsuite.com in templates when sending over 10,000 monthly emails.

Ensure all domain types are secured, following the instructions in Secure Your Domain. After setting up your domains, use the Domain Health Status feature to verify correct configuration and troubleshoot any errors. Consult Troubleshoot Domain Setup Errors for solutions.

Who This Affects

• Administrators: Responsible for configuring web store settings.
• Developers: Need to ensure domains are set correctly for website functionality.
• E-Commerce Managers: Oversee the online shopping experience and domain security.

Key Takeaways

• Choose the correct domain type for either a single or separate secure domain setup.
• Ensure all domains are secured and configured properly for customer safety.
• Use Domain Health Status features for troubleshooting.
