Salesforce keeps the 2026 release train moving with Agentforce Commerce B2C 26.4, rolling out in waves across instance groups from March 24 to April 23, 2026. As usual, timing varies by POD, and this is the kind of release that looks more focused on refinement and day-to-day improvements than on big headline-grabbing changes.

The Salesforce B2C Commerce 26.3 release (the third drop of 2026) is rolling out across instances between February 24 and March 26, 2026 (exact timing depends on your POD).

The second Salesforce B2C Commerce release of 2026 (26.2) is rolling out in waves across instance groups. The release window runs from January 27 to February 26, 2026. As usual, exact rollout timing can vary by region and instance group, so it's worth checking the official deployment schedule for the most accurate dates. If you manage multiple sandboxes/instances or run customer-facing storefront changes on a tight cadence, 26.2 is a good checkpoint release to review operational controls, merchandising productivity, checkout experience improvements, and API/tooling guardrails.

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. At Dreamforce 2025, Salesforce announced a partnership with OpenAI and Stripe to bring the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) and Instant Checkout into Agentforce Commerce and ChatGPT. In this short article I explain what ACP is, how it connects Salesforce, Stripe and OpenAI, and what it means for the future of online stores and digital product teams.

SFCC B2C 25.10 is the last drop of 2025—timed (as always) to steer clear of Black Friday and holiday peaks. This release brings a tidy set of significant improvements that make work easier: you can now spot missing product images faster, product search is better, checkout address autocomplete is more precise, PayPal re-approval prompts are clearer, and User-Agent logging for CSRF is now configurable.

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.
