• N/record: Allows interaction with NetSuite records.
• N/search: Facilitates searching and querying data.
• N/ui/serverWidget: Helps create UI components for SuiteCommerce.

Another common use case is adding custom search filters to enhance the browsing experience. The following example demonstrates how to use the N/search module to add a filter for finding products by a custom field.

Deploying Your Customizations

Once you have developed your customizations, you need to deploy them to your SuiteCommerce environment. Ensure you follow best practices for deployment, including testing in a sandbox environment before moving to production.

Deployment involves uploading your scripts to the file cabinet in NetSuite and associating them with the appropriate SuiteCommerce components.
