Established as Salesforce Cloud in 2016, Commerce Cloud is the world’s leading B2C and B2B commerce solution and was recently named a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Q2 2020 report. Salesforce Commerce Cloud enables brands to create unified buying experiences overall channels - Web, Social, Mobile, and eStore.
COVID-19 has placed a focus on eCommerce as drastic changes in consumer behavior are accelerating the movement out of in-store retail into online. Retailers are turning rapidly to develop revenue channels that are updated, by building approaches to estimate their shoppers while eCommerce businesses are tuning their working models. The rapid rise of smartphones means retail brands need to innovate quickly with sleek front-end designs and focus on building out optimized, connected customer experiences. The rapid innovation that leads to the connected customer experiences required today is made possible through what is widely known as headless Commerce. Traditional commerce architecture is tightly coupled with out-of-the-box commerce storefront templates, requiring developers to synchronously modify both front-end and back-end code when building new commerce experiences. Headless commerce, on the other hand, separates the infrastructure layer from the APIs, decoupling the underlying commerce engine from UX/UI layer for faster, asynchronous development.
The speedy ascent of smart phones implies retail brands will need to advance rapidly with smooth front-end layouts and give attention to exercising compact, optimized, customized user experiences.

The Commerce Cloud team focused on building APIs that required the highest security standards, leveraging MuleSoft’s out-of-the-box security tools to get these APIs up and running quickly. Additionally, the teams prioritized building assets that could be reused across the organization and made them available on Any point Exchange as discoverable assets. Now, with MuleSoft and an API-led approach, B2C Commerce is faster and more innovative than ever.
