Salesforce B2C Commerce / CRM Sync is an enablement solution provided by Salesforce Architect Success designed to teach Salesforce's B2C Customer Data Strategy for multi-cloud use-cases. The solution demonstrates a contemporary view on the integration between Salesforce B2C Commerce and the Salesforce Customer 360 Platform. This project provides a framework to integrating these two clouds leveraging public REST APIs to share and synchronize customer profile data between the two clouds.
⚠️ This repository is currently a work-in-progress and should not be considered stable until a formal release is published. We're working hard to round-out the MVP feature-set in a trustworthy way. Please visit our issues-list to see outstanding issues and features, and visit our discussions to ask questions. :warning:
This section provides a high-level summary of the purpose and architectural structure of the Salesforce B2C Commerce and Salesforce Customer 360 Platform Integration.
The b2c-crm-sync project enables the viewing and management of Salesforce B2C Commerce Customer Profiles within the Salesforce Platform as either Accounts / Contacts or Person Accounts. The project serves as a contemporary foundation for integration between B2C Commerce and the Salesforce Platform. It is designed to teach the data strategy used to synchronize B2C Customer Profiles -- and extended to support multi-cloud use-cases between B2C Commerce, Marketing Cloud, and the Salesforce Platform (ex. Service, Sales, Loyalty Cloud, etc).
Please note that this integration is an 'above the API' integration achieved via REST services -- and is not a low-level platform integration. Think of this repository as a guide for integrating B2C Commerce and the Salesforce Customer 360 Platform leveraging REST APIs, custom code, and a subset of its declarative features.
The b2c-crm-sync project leverages Salesforce B2C Commerce Open Commerce REST APIs (OCAPI) to interact with B2C Customer Profiles -- and a series of Salesforce Platform REST services to 'announce' when relevant custom profiles B2C Commerce have been created or modified. Through these announcements, the Salesforce Platform requests the identified data objects (ex. customers) via REST APIs -- and then ingests elements of those data objects to create Account / Contact or PersonAccount representations of B2C Commerce Customer Profiles.

Please remember that this project should not be treated as Salesforce Product. It is an enablement solution designed to teach Salesforce's B2C Customer Data Strategy for B2C multi-cloud use-cases. Customers and partners implement this at-will with no expectation of roadmap, technical support, defect resolution, production-style SLAs.
Roadmap, enhancements, and defect resolution will be driven by the Salesforce Architect Community. You are invited to log an issue or submit a pull-request to receive an Architect Success hoodie.
This repository is maintained and contributed to by the Salesforce Community, Architect Success Team, and the SCPPE and Service Delivery teams within the Customer Success Group (CSG). This repository isn’t supported by Salesforce Commerce Cloud or Salesforce Platform Technical Support. For feature requests or bugs, please open a GitHub issue. Contributions are ALWAYS WELCOME -- and are often rewarded with Architect Success swag.
The following high-level features are supported by the b2c-crm-sync:
- Configuration of multiple B2C Commerce environments (either Sandboxes or Primary Instance Group environments) within the Salesforce Customer 360 Platform
- Configuration of multiple B2C Commerce CustomerLists and Sites within the Salesforce Customer 360 Platform
- Granular integration control managing which instances, customerLists, and sites can interact with B2C Commerce and receive integration messages
- Supports both PersonAccounts and Account / Contact customer models within the Salesforce Customer 360 Platform
- Synchronization of registered Salesforce B2C Commerce customer profiles between the Salesforce Customer 360 Platform and Salesforce B2C Commerce
- Order on Behalf of style Assisted Shopping for Customer Service Representatives configured and launched from within the Salesforce Platform
This repository should be considered a developer framework that can be extended by customers and partners to support their specific implementation needs. Implementing this solution will require configuration, customization, runtime-performance evaluation, and testing.
Do NOT deploy this enablement solution directly to a staging or production environment without first going through your development, QA, or CI process. Remember that this solution is not supported by Salesforce Technical Support.
To begin, we use the dotenv node.js library to store environment-specific configuration settings used to authenticate against a given B2C Commerce environment. Before installing any of the project package dependencies, please follow these instructions to build-out a .env file that contains your environment's configuration settings.
- Rename the example file 'sample.env' to '.env' in the root of the repository.
This file shouldn't be checked into the repository, and is automatically being ignored by .git
- Open the .env file and edit the following information. Please update these values to reflect your sandbox environment's configuration properties.

The CLI build tools present within this solution will use this information to remotely authenticate against your environment via B2C Commerce REST APIs prior to attempting any import, upload, or re-index activity. They are also used to automate the creation of Salesforce Platform meta-data describing the B2C Commerce environment and Named Credentials used to access the B2C Commerce instance.
Prior to saving your file, please verify that the url is correct, and that the clientId / clientSecret are accurate. The instance name should represent a shorthand nickname for the B2C Commerce environment. This information must be accurate in order for these activities to successfully process the site-import.
The build scripts in this repository leverage B2C Commerce's sfcc-ci automation library. This library is used to perform a number of continuous-integration related activities that enable the site-data uploading and import. Before we can leverage the automation tasks, the Salesforce B2C Commerce environment's OCAPI Data API permissions must be enabled to support remote interactions.
Yes, we will be porting this to leverage the new B2C Commerce APIs in a future release. For now, all use-cases can be satisfied via OCAPI.
We leverage the Shop API to facilitate enable Headless use-cases, multi-cloud unit tests that can be executed via the CLI, and to support Assisted Shopping (OOBO) via the B2C Commerce storefront.

}All Salesforce Customer 360 Platform code and meta-data can be deployed to a scratch org leveraging SFDX. CLI commands in this repository support automation of the deployment process, and the .env file can be extended to include additional variables to automate B2C Commerce service and metadata configuration.
Please use Trailhead's Quick Start: Salesforce DX as a guide to setup a DevHub that can generate Salesforce scratchOrgs.
- Open the .env file and edit the following information. Please use these defaults -- and edit them to accommodate your org creation and deployment preferences.
ScratchOrgs can be configured using the base or personaccounts profiles. The base profile supports Accounts / Contacts, while the personaccounts profile supports PersonAccounts.

Leverage the .env file's configuration properties to dramatically simplify the build and deployment of b2c-crm-sync. Check the package.json for the complete set of CLI commands that can be used to automate meta-data generation, service definition creation, and validate environment configurations prior to deployment.
The b2c-crm-sync repository includes a collection of CLI commands that can be used to prepare and deploy the b2c-crm-sync assets to B2C Commerce and a Salesforce Customer 360 Platform scratchOrg.
Before running any commands below be sure to run 'npm install' from the root of the b2c-crm-sync repository folder
-
Configure the initial collection B2C Commerce OCAPI and WebDAV permissions. The 'allowed_origins' properties can be set after a Salesforce ScratchOrg has been created.
-
Create the B2C Commerce .env configuration properties.
-
Verify that your B2C Commerce configuration properties are defined accurately in the .env file by executing the following CLI command:
npm run crm-sync:b2c:verifyThis command will verify that the credentials, clientId / clientSecret, code-version, and specified sites can all be verified against the host specified in the .env file. Errors will be reported to the console.
- Create the Salesforce ScratchOrg .env configuration properties. Follow the guidance above, and specify the type of scratchOrg to generate.
The 'base' scratchOrg profile supports Accounts and Contacts. The 'personaccounts' scratchOrg profile supports PersonAccounts. If any other value is provided, the 'base' profile will be defaulted.
- Specify your default dev hub username by executing the following CLI command, this should be the username of the Environment Hub enabled Org that will host your scratchOrg (Enable Dev Hub Features in Your Org)
sfdx config:set defaultdevhubusername=[devHubOrg-username]- Authenticate with your Environment Hub Org using:
sfdx auth:web:login- Generate the Salesforce metadata required by b2c-crm-sync, create a scratchOrg, and deploy the b2c-crm-sync Salesforce Platform code by executing the following CLI command:
npm run crm-sync:sf:buildThis CLI command automates the steps outlined above. Automation results will be output through the CLI. If successful, a browser tab will be opened to the created scratchOrg.
📍 Please note that the next step should only be performed if you created a scratchOrg supporting PersonAccounts. This step can be skipped if the base scratchOrg profile was used.
- If you are deploying a personAccount scratchOrg, you'll also need to manually deploy the Salesforce Platform layout and quickAction elements for PersonAccounts. The following SFDX command can be used to deploy these elements to your scratchOrg:
⚠️ As a reminder, the personAccounts implementation is incomplete at this time. Please review the issues list for details and known issues. We'll update the ReadMe.md once personAccounts have been completely implemented.⚠️
sfdx force:source:deploy -p "src/sfdc/person-accounts"The deployment results will be output via the CLI. Please note that these elements are a requirement for environments where personAccounts are enabled.
- Use the below CLI command to retrieve configuration data needed for .env as outlined above.
sfdx force:org:display -u [scratchOrg-username]Copy the scratchOrg domain url and username to the .env file. These values will be used to drive the creation of the B2C Commerce Service definitions that will enable integration with the Salesforce Platform.
- Use the below CLI command to generate a password for the scratchOrg user that can be populated in .env as described above.
sfdx force:user:password:generate --targetusername [scratchOrg-username]Copy the generated user-password to the .env file. This value will be used to drive the creation of the B2C Commerce Service definitions that will enable integration with the Salesforce Platform.
- View the full detail of information about the scratchOrg user using the following CLI command:
sfdx force:user:display -u [insert-username]Copy the login-url domain to the .env file. This value will be used to enable authentication to the scratchOrg from the B2C Commerce environment.
-
In your scratchOrg, enter Setup and find the User avatar in the header (the avatar should look like Astro, and be displayed in the upper right corner of the browser. Hovering over Astro will display the label "View Profile".
-
Click on the User avatar and select the option titled Settings. From the settings menu, click on the option titled Reset Security Token to generate a new token for your scratchOrg user.
Please note that you will receive two emails declaring that a new securityToken has been generated. The first is from the password reset that was performed. The second is from this action. Copy the securityToken from the second email to the .env file.
- Ensure that the following .env Salesforce Platform configuration properties have been captured via steps 8, 9, 10, and 11.
