Salesforce Payments and partner tax and shipping integrations
Key Takeaway
Salesforce Payments tokenizes and authorizes buyer payment methods at checkout, and Order Management handles payment tasks after the order. For tax, an LWR store with the Cart Calculate API enabled (the default since Spring '24) uses a tax extension provider instead of a linked integration.
A B2B store has to take payment, calculate tax, and charge for shipping at checkout. Salesforce offers a native service for each one: Salesforce Payments, the Salesforce Tax Solution, and Salesforce native shipping. Because B2B stores use custom checkout, you can replace or extend any of these services with third-party providers. The choice of native or partner services is part of the value of running B2B Commerce on the Salesforce Platform.
Value of running on the Salesforce Platform
When you position B2B Commerce, simpler order payment and shipping is one of its business values. Stores integrate with Salesforce Payments and with Salesforce tax and shipping solutions. AgentExchange offers additional partner integrations.
B2B Commerce runs on the Salesforce Platform, so every store gets the same performance, security, and scalability as standard Salesforce Platform technologies. Its flexible architecture lets developers integrate with other systems and third-party tools. Low-code setup frees the development team to focus on integrations and on extending the platform.
