We set up a storefront with 2 integrations involved.
- Salesforce <> Apprise
- Salesforce <> Pocket Advantage
Setting up a storefront
Standard OOTB allows users to drag and drop the component by a tool called experience builder.
Setting up a storefront, creating catalogs, assigning products to those catalogs, entitlement policies, setting up a buyer user.
OOTB features are vast and the store can be customized by multiple offered themes by Salesforce. We followed the figma file given by our client and replicated it in a similar way to match their requirements.

Product PLP
Once the catalog is created, products are assigned to it. Product listing pages can be configured by standard as well as by custom. Products were shown on PLP with a list view according to the requirement.
Product PDP
Products to be shown with various details viz: Brand, size, age, UOM, etc were shown on product detail page. We also created a variation which is provided by standard OOTB.
Custom components on PDP:
- Created a custom LWC to show the description of the product.
- Show in stock or out of stock
- Created a LWC component to show related products by various filters.
Creating Footer
By experience builder we created a footer and redirected to various links.
Cart page
The cart page follows the standard OOTB. The checkout process has various options like PO or credit terms. We customised and set up a default COD system for all the payments.
