Commerce Cloud Deliver B2C or B2B digital commerce connected to customer data

Commerce Cloud is Salesforce’s commerce platform for digital buying experiences—product discovery, cart, checkout, and order flows—for consumer and business buyers. It connects shopper activity to customer profiles and downstream fulfillment when integrated with ERP or OMS systems. B2C and B2B commerce capabilities are offered as distinct product lines with different feature sets and licensing.

Key capabilities

What Commerce Cloud supports

Capabilities vary by edition and add-ons. We scope implementation to the features your org is licensed to use.

  • Product catalog & merchandising

    Manage products, categories, pricing, and promotions in commerce catalogs aligned to how you sell online.

  • Storefront experience

    Implement responsive storefront templates and content slots that merchandisers can update within governance you define.

  • Cart & checkout

    Configure basket, shipping, tax, and payment steps appropriate to your regions and payment service providers.

  • B2B buying workflows

    Support negotiated pricing, account hierarchies, and requisition-style buying when B2B Commerce is in scope for your program.

  • Order integration

    Pass orders and inventory signals to ERP, WMS, or OMS through integration patterns that preserve a single order ID customers can track.

  • Customer identity & personalization

    Recognize logged-in shoppers and tailor offers or content using profile and behavioral data governed by your privacy policies.

Business challenges

Problems we address with practical design

  • The legacy storefront cannot keep pace with merchandising or mobile expectations.

    We replatform high-traffic catalog and checkout paths onto Commerce Cloud with phased cutover so product data and integrations are validated before peak seasons.

  • Inventory and pricing disagreements between commerce and ERP cause cancellations.

    We design real-time or batch sync with clear system-of-record rules and error handling so shoppers see accurate availability and price.

  • B2B buyers need contract pricing but the public site shows list price only.

    We implement account-specific price books, entitlement, and login flows so business buyers see terms their contracts allow.

  • Marketing and commerce teams cannot coordinate promotions.

    We connect campaign timing, coupon rules, and analytics tags so launches are testable in staging and measurable after go-live.

Commerce Cloud Benefits

Considerations When Implementing Commerce Cloud

Salesforce products are licensed separately. Scope and features depend on your editions and contracts—not every capability applies to every org.

  • B2C versus B2B commerce scope

    Choose the Salesforce commerce product line that matches buyer types, contract pricing, and approval workflows.

  • Catalog structure and PIM integration

    Define category hierarchy, attributes, and whether product master data originates in PIM, ERP, or Commerce Cloud.

  • Payment, tax, and fraud services

    Select regional payment gateways and tax engines; test decline, timeout, and partial capture scenarios.

  • Inventory and availability rules

    Document system of record for stock, safety stock, and back-order messaging shown on the storefront.

  • Performance and peak traffic

    Plan caching, search tuning, and load testing before seasonal peaks or major catalog launches.

  • Customer identity and SSO

    Decide guest checkout, registration, and SSO patterns for B2B buyers with account hierarchies.

  • Analytics and merchandising feedback loops

    Connect commerce analytics tags and reports merchandisers use to adjust categories and promotions.

Best Practices for Commerce Cloud

  • Pilot catalog slices before full replatform

    Launch a representative category set to validate search, checkout, and integrations before migrating entire catalogs.

  • Keep promotion rules testable in staging

    Rehearse stackable coupons and scheduled promotions with clocks aligned to production time zones.

  • Align service macros with order statuses

    Give Service Cloud agents the same status vocabulary shoppers see on the site to reduce confusion on calls.

  • Document integration failure playbooks

    Define how orders queue, retry, or alert operations when ERP or payment endpoints are unavailable.

  • Review accessibility and mobile checkout paths

    Test keyboard navigation and mobile payment flows for top customer journeys before marketing pushes traffic.
