ABC's of NetSuite integration

NetSuite integration is a process of connecting an external application with NetSuite. This connection can be done by either of the following methods:

- Embedded integration, a method which is a prebuilt and packaged connector that integrates new applications with NetSuite without writing new code.

- Integration via APIs, a post build process that requires customized programming to connect an application to NetSuite.

In this blog - we will talk about embedded netsuite integration as they are the easiest way to get started with integration and require less resources from your team. 

Embedded integration in NetSuite - An overview Before getting into the details of creating embedded integration, I would like to provide you with some information on the variety of choices. The decision between embedded integration or APIs is actually two-pronged. You need to consider whether or not your application already has an integrated database, and if so - does it have a connector for NetSuite? If your application already has a database connector - then you're probably better off just integrating with that database, however if you have yet to build a connector for NetSuite then check out the Embedded Integrations section below for more options.

 You can either choose to integrate with an existing third-party application which already has a connector for NetSuite 

Or you can build your own connector that interfaces with NetSuite 

Both options require resources from the NetSuite development team. So depending on your resources availability, you will need to optimize for one or the other.

Other factors such as the level of support and customization required, and the time required to create an integration can also influence your choice of integration approach. While having a "small" NetSuite integration may not be complex, if it requires customized code or extensive testing - then it becomes more time consuming and less feasible.
