07/16/2020, 3:24 PMHas anyone experienced adding items to an SCA cart using a completely external site? We'd ideally add items and retrieve the cart contents. I tried using LiveOrder.Line.Service.ss, but have ran into some hurdles. This is similar to WSDK, but NetSuite was adamant that we go with SCA instead of SiteBuilder.

07/16/2020, 4:22 PMIt is possible, yes. You can use the /app/site/backend/additemtocart.nl endpoint
Steve Goldberg
07/16/2020, 4:23 PMA simple example is domain.com/app/site/backend/additemtocart.nl?buyid=8059&qty=10
Steve Goldberg
07/16/2020, 4:23 PMIt can also be used with multiple items and item options (rather than matrix child IDs) if you prefer. Be sure to also include any additional URL parameters your site might need

07/16/2020, 4:23 PMEg /app/site/backend/additemtocart.nl?c=123456&buyid=multi&multi=51,1,custcolsize|1||
custcolcolor|1;52,2,custcolsize|2||custcolcolor|2

07/16/2020, 4:24 PMSome old WSDK endpoints still work with SCA sites but they're old and not very flexible, and require you to enable the external catalog site feature

07/16/2020, 4:25 PMDo you know if there is a backend call for the cart? Are these calls documented somewhere?

Steve Goldberg
07/16/2020, 4:25 PMIt's in the site builder documentation http://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_N2611157.html
Steve Goldberg
07/16/2020, 4:26 PMAccordingly, they're not really supported for SCA purposes but they mostly 'work'
Steve Goldberg
07/16/2020, 4:26 PMI don't know about cart contents
Steve Goldberg
07/16/2020, 4:27 PMThey're not really set up to make a rich, featureful external site as they're quite old and haven't been improved in years
Steve Goldberg
07/16/2020, 4:28 PMthey're useful in circumstances where you want to create an external catalog site (as the name suggests) or shopping experience (like a product configurator) and then redirect the user back to your SCA site

07/16/2020, 4:29 PMYeah, that was the plan. We found the enable WSDK feature in the "Enable Features" portion, but we could not find it at the web site level.
Alex Cook
07/16/2020, 4:29 PMIt is available on Sitebuilder websites, but not SCA.

07/16/2020, 7:55 PMyou can code your own services in SCA to add to cart from an external site if you don’t like WSDK too
PabloZ
07/16/2020, 7:56 PMas long as you use GET requests you’ll be fine
PabloZ
07/16/2020, 7:56 PM(because of cross domain issues otherwise)

07/16/2020, 7:57 PMThe problem that I had with this is that I could get a call to be successful, but it didn't actually add it to the cart when you would visit the site.
Alex Cook
07/16/2020, 7:58 PMAlmost like it is adding it to the wrong cart or something. It would return basically a brand new cart with the added item in it.

Flo Meilan
07/17/2020, 5:16 PMpossible does not mean "supported"
Flo Meilan
07/17/2020, 5:17 PM/app/site/backend/additemtocart.nl is intended to be used and supported in SiteBuilder

07/17/2020, 6:27 PMOk, understood. I assumed it was not supported, since it was not mentioned in the documentation. Thanks for the clarification!
