Site Builder & SCA 18.2 End of Life: What It Means for You

Some teams stayed on NetSuite Site Builder or older SuiteCommerce Advanced (SCA) versions prior to 18.2 because the platform worked.
 
But with official end-of-life approaching, businesses still running on these versions face:
  • Limited or discontinued vendor support
  • Increased risk around customizations
  • Performance limitations
  • Compatibility issues with modern integrations
  • Reduced long-term scalability

The deadline may be 2029, but planning early avoids rushed decisions and inflated costs.

Your Options - SuiteCommerce First and Shopify When It Makes Sense

Migration Plans

Option 1: Migrate to NetSuite SuiteCommerce

For most businesses running on NetSuite, SuiteCommerce is the natural next step.

  • Fully integrated with your NetSuite ERP and data flows
  • Real-time inventory, pricing, and order data
  • Built-in order management, inventory, and customer experience tools
  • Keeps commerce and backend unified
 
We assess your current setup, identify what’s covered in SuiteCommerce, and plan for any custom features that must be rebuilt.

Option 2: Migrate to Shopify Plus

  • Best-in-class storefront flexibility and performance
  • Stronger DTC growth capabilities
  • Modern UX and app ecosystem
  • Ideal for headless or composable architectures
 
As a Shopify Plus Partner, we guide implementation and ensure seamless integration with NetSuite.

FAQ

Our base SuiteCommerce migration package starts at 80 hours, covering activation consulting, theme implementation, and data migration.

For Shopify or Shopify Plus projects, scope typically starts higher (around 140 hours), largely due to integration architecture and configuration between Shopify and NetSuite ERP.

Final scope in either case depends on customizations, integrations, data complexity, and business requirements.

We analyze each one and determine whether it’s native in the new platform, can be replaced with extensions, or requires redevelopment.

Yes. We handle ERP, CRM, third-party integrations, and workflows as part of implementation services.

While it’s often the most natural fit for businesses running on NetSuite, we evaluate Shopify when it aligns better with your goals. We’ll help you decide based on your current Site Builder or legacy SCA setup, business objectives, and technical requirements.

Yes. Some businesses choose to move directly from SiteBuilder or legacy SCA to Shopify or Shopify Plus.

The right approach depends on your ERP dependencies, custom pricing logic, B2B requirements, and integration complexity. We assess your current setup before recommending a direct Shopify transition.

Shopify does not natively integrate with NetSuite the way SuiteCommerce does.

That said, we design integration architectures that sync:

  • Orders
  • Inventory
  • Pricing
  • Customer data
  • Fulfillment workflows

The integration layer is critical in Shopify projects, and we scope it carefully to avoid operational gaps.

Not necessarily.
Shopify Plus supports B2B functionality, and additional capabilities can be configured through apps or custom development.

We evaluate your existing B2B logic in Site Builder or legacy SCA and determine what must be replicated or improved.

Let’s Review Your Current Setup

We’ll help you understand your options and map a path that fits your business, whether that’s SuiteCommerce or Shopify.
