Enterprise Commerce on Salesforce
Salesforce Commerce Cloud remains the platform of choice for enterprise brands with complex requirements, significant GMV, and existing Salesforce ecosystem investments. We've implemented SFCC for luxury fashion brands, multi-brand conglomerates, and retailers with intricate B2B catalog structures.
SFCC is not a beginner's platform. It rewards deep expertise. Our team brings that expertise.
What Makes SFCC the Right Choice
SFCC excels when you need:
- Deep Salesforce ecosystem integration: If you're running Salesforce CRM, Marketing Cloud, Service Cloud, or OMS, SFCC offers native integration that creates a genuinely unified customer view
- Complex catalog and pricing: Multi-site deployments, complex product hierarchies, rule-based pricing, and customer-specific catalog access are SFCC native capabilities
- Enterprise order management: SFCC's OMS handles complex fulfillment scenarios — split shipments, distributed inventory, complex return workflows — that simpler platforms struggle with
- Regulatory compliance: SFCC is purpose-built for regulated industries with robust PCI, GDPR, and data residency controls
Our SFCC Implementation Approach
Storefront Development
SFCC storefronts use a cartridge-based architecture. We develop custom cartridges that:
- Override default SFCC functionality without modifying core platform files
- Follow SFCC's established extension patterns for maintainability
- Integrate with third-party services (payment, search, analytics) via established integration cartridges
We build with maintainability in mind — not just what works at launch, but what your team can extend and operate post-handoff.
PWA Kit (Headless SFCC)
For brands wanting a modern React-based frontend with SFCC's commerce backend, we build on Salesforce's PWA Kit. This provides:
- React-based storefront with server-side rendering
- Full access to SFCC's product catalog, cart, and order management via SCAPI
- Edge hosting via Managed Runtime for global performance
- Incremental migration path from legacy SFCC storefronts
Business Manager Configuration
SFCC's Business Manager is where merchandising teams live. We configure it for operational efficiency:
- Content slot and campaign management
- Product recommendation rule configuration
- Promotion and coupon management
- Analytics and reporting setup
- User role and access control
We train your team on Business Manager operations and document all configurations so you're self-sufficient post-launch.

Common questions
Everything you need to know before starting a project with us.
OCAPI is SFCC's older REST API for storefront and data operations. SCAPI (Shopper APIs) is the newer, more performant headless API. We recommend SCAPI for new headless builds.
Yes. B2B Commerce Cloud has different architecture and licensing — we have experience with both, including complex account hierarchy and contract pricing implementations.
An experienced SFCC developer should have deep knowledge of the cartridge-based architecture, ISML templating, and both OCAPI and SCAPI integration patterns. Look for proven experience with Business Manager configuration, Salesforce ecosystem integrations, and — increasingly — PWA Kit for headless SFCC builds, since the platform is actively moving in that direction.
SFCC headless architecture uses Salesforce's PWA Kit — a React-based framework — as the frontend, connected to SFCC's commerce backend via SCAPI. The storefront is deployed on Managed Runtime for edge performance while SFCC handles catalog, pricing, promotions, and order management behind the scenes, giving you a modern developer experience without abandoning enterprise commerce capabilities.
An SFCC to Shopify migration makes sense when your brand no longer needs SFCC's complex catalog management, B2B capabilities, or deep Salesforce ecosystem integrations and wants to reduce total cost of ownership. However, brands with multi-site deployments, contract pricing, or heavy OMS requirements often find that Shopify Plus cannot replicate those capabilities — making the migration decision highly dependent on your specific operational complexity.
Salesforce Commerce Cloud customization typically costs 2–3x more than equivalent Shopify Plus development due to SFCC's steeper learning curve, specialized developer talent pool, and more complex deployment processes. That said, the investment is justified for brands with enterprise requirements — complex catalogs, B2B pricing, multi-site governance — where SFCC's native capabilities eliminate the need for expensive third-party workarounds.
