Salesforce Commerce Cloud Brief Overview

Salesforce Commerce Cloud is a cloud-based eCommerce software appropriate for B2B, B2C, and B2BC transactions. It is a component of Salesforce 360 integrated CRM, which powers the eCommerce store with a variety of Salesforce apps. It is a scalable platform that allows you to implement eCommerce tactics of your choice.

Salesforce Commerce Cloud allows you to manage several stores from a single platform. Its order management system can handle hundreds of SKUs and large order quantities. Plus, the built-in Einstein AI allows you to develop insights to drive income, such as repeat customers or personalized offers.

Pros

Salesforce takes a more unified approach to complex settings. Its SFRA acts as a roadmap for your team to customize your shop with JavaScript controllers. It helps in the segmentation of merchant customization from built-in and merchant codes into cartridges. Developers may create additional functions in a custom cartridge that is independent of the main code, resulting in a clean codebase that can be scaled indefinitely.

Salesforce’s AppExchange provides more choices for third-party extensions. The marketplace includes additional eCommerce-specific features such as AI-powered product suggestions, visual setup, and eCommerce tax computations.

Cons

There are many inconsistencies in the platform’s structure and functionalities. One example of this is the need to de-select (rather than choose) features, which is not a traditional user-interface standard.

It also offers a large number of features that is tough to execute and maintain. You may find yourself exploring alternatives to get the functionality that you need when you design your website.
