# Step 1: Prepare your Zoey Data

## Create Product Attributes for NetSuite

Zoey Products will automatically link to NetSuite with a few “Custom Attributes” filled in.

### Start by navigating to **Products > Attributes** and create the following attributes.

**1. NetSuite Product ID**

<Image align="center" width="50% " src="https://files.readme.io/2de7bfc-image.png" />

* Attribute Type: **Text**

We will select this attribute as the link between your products in a later step. You do not need to make this attribute public.

**2. NetSuite Item Type**

* Type: **Dropdown**

> 🚧 Item Type is not required for the integration.
>
> You can create this attribute and include it in the mapping, but it is not required. If you are mapping these values, they must be added to the attribute.

After clicking Save, scroll down to the “Values” section and add the NetSuite Item Types.

For example:

* inventoryItem
* lotNumberedAssemblyItem

## Link Zoey SKUs to NetSuite Product IDs

### Next, create a spreadsheet that will associate your Zoey SKUs with the correct NetSuite Product IDs and Item Type. This data should be easily exportable from your NetSuite environment.

| sku              | netsuite\_product\_id | netsuite\_item\_type    |
| :--------------- | :-------------------- | :---------------------- |
| e.g. ABC-1234\_5 | 539                   | inventoryItem           |
| e.g. DEF-1234\_5 | 318                   | lotNumberedAssemblyItem |

Once completed, import this spreadsheet as a CSV File following the standard [product data import](https://welcome.zoey.com/docs/using-the-importer) process.

## Link Zoey Accounts to NetSuite Customer IDs

Typically, NetSuite Customers will be imported into Zoey using the [NetSuite API](https://support.zoey.com/docs/step-3-set-up-the-zoey-integration-configuration-page-in-zoey#netsuite-to-zoey-customer-import). However, if you want to assign NetSuite Customer IDs to Accounts existing in Zoey, you may do so via CSV import.

### Create a CSV spreadsheet that will associate your Zoey Accounts with the correct NetSuite Customer IDs.

| account\_name | account\_netsuite\_customer\_id |
| :------------ | :------------------------------ |
| Zoey Inc.     | 1234                            |

Once completed, import the spreadsheet as a CSV File following the standard [Account Data Import](https://welcome.zoey.com/docs/accounts-template-and-requirements#using-the-importer)

> 🚧 Payment Methods and Shipping Methods should be set in Zoey before testing the Zoey NetSuite Integration.
