Launching a new ecommerce website may seem daunting. Whether businesses are building their first online store or replatforming from an existing system, creating a feature-rich ecommerce website from start to finish takes time, energy and resources. Organizations typically spend five to eight months or more (opens in new tab) determining which ecommerce solution to use, drafting the system architecture, designing how it will look and actually developing the storefront and integrating third party extensions.

The most nerve-racking aspect is there are no guarantees everything will come together fully functioning or on schedule. It is not uncommon for merchants to abandon development mid-project to pivot to another system due to technology gaps or have their launch date slip because their team was too busy focusing on day-to-day operations in their old system. These sorts of barriers can scare off businesses from even pursuing a new ecommerce website. Luckily, NetSuite users are able to mitigate these fears with a unified solution that is quick to implement.
