About SFCC (Salesforce Commerce Cloud)

A cloud-based e-commerce platform, Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) is leveraged mostly by businesses to create flawless online shopping experiences. It offers tools for managing products, orders, customer data, and marketing campaigns.

With its diverse range of features, SFCC helps businesses drive higher sales conversions, enhance customer engagement, and boost merchants’ entire e-commerce operations.

Features of SFCC

  • Enable Headless Commerce with SFCC.

Headless commerce decouples the front-end (UI or the head) of any website from its back-end ecommerce functionality. This allows greater flexibility and customization in terms of delivering personalized user experiences across diverse digital touchpoints. 

Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) is also one such platform that supports headless commerce by providing robust API integrations with any required or relevant front-end technology or platform. Businesses or Merchants leveraging SFCC  via Headless Commerce can very easily innovate and deliver personalized yet unified user experiences across websites, mobile apps, IoT devices, etc, for managing products, orders, and customer data. With SFCC's headless approach, companies can adapt quickly to evolving customer preferences and market trends, which otherwise becomes a challenging task with separate tools and functionalities to maintain.

In the image below, a simplified headless commerce with multiple UIs is represented. You can see decoupled frontend and the backend layers connected via APIs, with the integration established between Mobile Apps, Website UI, and In-car display with eCommerce platform (for e.g., Shopify), content management system (for e.g., Wordpress), and other microservices (for e.g., custom pricing options).
