Salesforce Commerce Cloud

aid: salesforce-commerce-cloud
name: Salesforce Commerce Cloud
description: >-
  Salesforce Commerce Cloud (formerly Demandware) is an enterprise commerce
  platform supporting B2C and B2B storefronts, order management, product
  content, and headless commerce experiences. Commerce Cloud exposes two
  REST API products: the legacy Open Commerce API (OCAPI) and the modern
  Salesforce Commerce API (SCAPI), a unified RAML-defined API family built
  for headless commerce. SCAPI uses OAuth 2.0 via Salesforce Account Manager
  and groups APIs into Shopper, Data, and Admin tiers.

    name: Salesforce Commerce API (SCAPI)
    description: >-
      Modern REST API family for B2C Commerce Cloud built on a unified
      RAML specification, organized into Shopper, Data, and Admin APIs
      for headless commerce. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 via Salesforce
      Account Manager (SLAS for shopper flows). Custom APIs allow
      developers to publish their own endpoints under the SCAPI framework
      using an OAS 3.0 schema contract.
