My SFCC Pills.

B2C Commerce 23.8 is scheduled to be released between July 20 and Aug 22, 2023. At the moment (21/07/2023), there is only one new feature announced by the SFCC team, this feature is about "Get Accurate Allocation Amounts with a Null Allocation Payload".

The B2C Commerce 23.7 release, spanning from June 15 to July 25, 2023, introduces several new enhancements. Search refinement capabilities have been added to B2C Commerce OCAPI and SCAPI, allowing more targeted promotion searches. A new script API, PromotionMgr.getActiveCustomerPromotions, makes active promotions, including coupon-based ones, more accessible, enhancing the shopper experience. B2C Commerce direct integration cartridge, Google Inventory Listings, is also available, offering increased product discoverability on Google's free product listings, thereby potentially driving more foot traffic to local stores. B2C Commerce Business Manager now also sends alert notifications for rejected orders, which can be integrated with Slack for more seamless monitoring. Lastly, in line with ECMAScript 2019, the B2C Commerce Script API methods Array.sort() and Array.sort(function) have been documented as stable.

The B2C Commerce 23.6 update, slated for release between May 11 and June 20, 2023, introduces several key features. These include improvements in storefront search scalability and performance for keyword search and product browsing, leading to faster results and improved page load times for large product catalogs. B2C Commerce now also validates hostnames in HTTPS certificates for outgoing connections, reducing the risk of misconnections. The release introduces the option for automatic renewal of Cloudflare provisioned SSL certificates for those who self-manage their certificates. The B2C Commerce CDN-API now supports custom firewall rules for improved rule enforcement and provides immediate log visibility through the new CDN Logpush setup. All these enhancements contribute to a more efficient and secure user experience.

Throughout these years I have participated in the creation of more than 50 ecommerces on different technologies. Today I would like to share a proposal from the team that I consider necessary to carry out a successful project in Salesforce Commerce Cloud B2C.

A few days ago, through my current company (Capgemini), I was lucky enough to attend an introduction of the new Commerce Marketplace product by Salesfoce. This product allows Merchants to expand both their catalog and increase the profitability of their business.

Here comes the first Release of 2023 for Salesforce Commerce Cloud B2C. The 23.1 release occurs Nov. 29, 2022 through Jan. 26, 2023.

With Salesforce's new B2B2C Commerce app, B2B businesses can easily open an online direct-to-consumer (D2C) storefront. By enabling business stakeholders to create their site with clicks rather than code, it streamlines the launch procedure.

I had the opportunity to attend a training on OMS, Order Management System, at the Salesforce office. It is true that I already knew others OMS, and also had already integrated Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud with OMS, but had not enough time yet to keep informed about the product itself. Here I summarized the most important OMS functionalities and some links to resources in Trailhead about OMS.

In B2C SFCC, sometimes we need to know the "POD number" where an instance is assigned. It is not the first time that I have gone crazy looking for it, but nevertheless it is easier to locate it than it seems!

According to the PWA-Kit provided by Salesforce, there is a set of frameworks/technologies we should learn before jumping to develop in Composable Commerce Cloud.

I would like to share the good experience in organizing detailed sessions of the different Product Releases that we have had this year within the Saleforce Team at work.

Trailhead is Salesforce's free online learning platform. In this post I have tried to collect the important "Trails" for the development and general understanding of Salesforce Commerce Cloud B2C.

I've summarized the minimum of "base" technologies that a B2C SFCC Developer for SFRA should learn before starting on a project. In addition, there are other alternatives such as taking the official training provided by Salesforce (CCD102) and/or study over the PLC (Partners Learning Camp).
