What is Salesforce Commerce Cloud?
Salesforce Commerce Cloud is an enterprise-level ecommerce platform designed for large-scale businesses with complex requirements. Part of the Salesforce ecosystem, Commerce Cloud delivers advanced capabilities for B2C and B2B commerce, including AI-powered personalization, global scalability, and seamless integration with Salesforce’s CRM and marketing tools. Primary Purpose: Commerce Cloud provides enterprise businesses with a unified commerce platform that connects customer experiences across web, mobile, social, and in-store channels, backed by powerful analytics and automation capabilities.What Does the Integration Do?
The Salesforce Commerce Cloud integration connects your enterprise commerce platform to Redo’s return management system, enabling sophisticated return processing workflows that integrate with your broader Salesforce ecosystem. Order data, customer information, and product catalogs sync automatically to support seamless returns. The integration leverages Salesforce’s OCAPI (Open Commerce API) to sync orders, products, and customer data. When returns are processed through Redo, the system can trigger refunds in Commerce Cloud and update inventory across multiple sites and locales. Return data can flow back to Salesforce for reporting and customer service visibility.How to Set It Up
