Setting Visibility for NetSuite Connector Transaction Fields

TL;DR Opening

To successfully sync transactions using NetSuite Connector, essential fields must be visible in your transaction forms. Failing to ensure their visibility can result in synchronization errors.

What Fields Need to Be Visible?

When configuring custom forms for use with NetSuite Connector, the following fields must be set to visible or editable:

• NetSuite Connector Storefront
• NetSuite Connector Storefront Order Number
• NetSuite Connector Order Total
• NetSuite Connector Shipping Tax
• NetSuite Connector Line Item Tax
• NetSuite Connector Line Item Amount

Ensuring these fields are visible is critical to maintaining a seamless sync of transaction data between your systems. If any of these fields are hidden on your form, you may encounter errors during the synchronization process.
