how is suitecommerce connected to netsuite?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

SuiteCommerce is NetSuite's ecommerce platform that is directly integrated with the NetSuite ERP system. This integration allows for seamless data flow between the two systems, enabling real-time updates and synchronization of data. In a typical setup, SuiteCommerce serves as the front-end ecommerce platform, while NetSuite ERP acts as the back-end system managing inventory, orders, customer data, and other business processes. The integration between the two systems is facilitated through SuiteCommerce APIs, which allow for the exchange of data and functionality. For instance, when a customer places an order on a SuiteCommerce site, the order details are immediately sent to NetSuite ERP for processing. Similarly, when inventory levels change in NetSuite ERP, these changes are reflected on the SuiteCommerce site in real-time. In addition to this, NetSuite also offers Web Services Description Language (WSDL) for an External (non-NetSuite) Site functionality. This allows an "add to cart" button on an external site to add items to the NetSuite shopping cart. However, this requires that your items are mapped between your external site and NetSuite ERP. From the shopping cart to checkout, the customer proceeds on NetSuite's ecommerce modules to complete the checkout and create a sales order. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
