To link a Web Store Only domain with a Checkout Only domain, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Commerce > Websites > Website List.
- Locate and click on the “Edit” option next to the specific website for which you want to link the Web Store domains to the checkout domain.
- On the “Domains” tab, you will find a list of checkout domains under the Checkout URL HTTPS:// section. Choose the desired Checkout domain from the list.
- This list includes the default NetSuite checkout domain, any custom checkout domains you have already set up, and unbranded checkout subdomains if they are enabled.
- After selecting the appropriate Checkout domain, click “Save.”
Now, all the Web Store Only domains associated with the selected website are successfully linked to the chosen checkout domain. This configuration ensures a seamless connection between the Web Store and Checkout domains for the specified website.
To establish a secure subdomain for checkout, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Commerce > Websites > Website List.
- Click on the Web Presence subtab.
- Check the box next to “Customizable Checkout Subdomains.”
- Click “Save.”
- Go back to Commerce > Websites > Website List.
- Click “Edit” for the desired website.
- On the Domains subtab, input your desired checkout Domain Prefix. Ensure the prefix is a single word, in all lowercase, and without punctuation (e.g., mysite).
- A domain prefix aids users in identifying specific areas on your site.
- Choose your preferred checkout subdomain in the Checkout URL section.
- The subdomain is appended to the domain prefix to create your checkout URL. For instance, if your domain prefix is mysite and the selected subdomain is onlinecheckout.com, the checkout URL becomes https://mysite.onlinecheckout.com.
- (For Site Builder websites only) Enter a URL Alias. Input the alias as a single word, in all lowercase, and without punctuation (e.g., mysite).
- A URL alias serves as an alternative URL that visitors can use to access your site.
- Click “Save.”
After configuring a checkout subdomain, be aware that there might be a delay of up to 30 minutes in redirection if you switch from one checkout subdomain to another. This delay occurs due to the invalidation of the previous subdomain in the web store caches. Allow this timeframe for a smooth transition between checkout subdomains
