My SFCC Pills.

Salesforce is opening 2026 with the B2C Commerce 26.1 release, rolling out between December 4, 2025 and January 29, 2026, depending on your POD. This first drop of the year brings a set of focused improvements across shopping experience, payments, search, and Business Manager operations — more about making day-to-day commerce smoother than radically changing how your storefront works.

Agentic Commerce just moved from buzzword to reality.

The Salesforce Commerce B2C 25.9 release (August 19 – September 25, 2025) introduces powerful enhancements for merchants: smarter product discovery with in-store pickup, price sorting by unit size/quantity, streamlined UIs for Campaigns and A/B Testing, cross-site coupon sharing, stronger security with outbound connection allowlists and encrypted credentials, plus new alerts and API improvements. These updates are designed to improve shopper experiences and give merchants greater efficiency and control.

In today's competitive digital commerce landscape, brands need both agility and reliability. A hybrid architecture, combining the Storefront Reference Architecture (SFRA) with a headless frontend, offers the best of both worlds: a stable, out-of-the-box experience for checkout and backend functions, paired with a flexible, modern frontend for product pages and unique touchpoints. This "phased headless" strategy reduces risk, enables rapid experimentation, and maximizes long-term scalability.

Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud (SFCC) enforces various platform quotas to maintain system stability, performance, and fairness across all tenants. Failing to monitor and respect these quotas can lead to unexpected errors, degraded user experiences, and blocked deployments. This article outlines the most critical quotas that developers and architects should actively monitor during the design and implementation phases of an SFCC project.

Salesforce B2C Commerce version 25.8 is scheduled for release between July 22 and August 21, 2025. As of now, only one release note has been published, introducing Service Profile Defaults. This article summarizes that feature and will be updated if Salesforce adds more items to the release.

Agentforce is Salesforce’s generative AI platform for creating autonomous agents across business domains. In B2C Commerce, it enables the development of a Guided Shopping Assistant that helps customers find products, manage orders, and receive contextual support directly within the storefront. This article outlines how to set up, integrate, and deploy such an agent using Agentforce.
