B2C Commerce Cloud Developer

The Salesforce Certified B2C Commerce Cloud Developer credential proves you can build and customize storefronts on the B2C Commerce (formerly Demandware) platform. This is a niche, platform-specific exam - if you are coming from the core Salesforce platform, expect almost nothing to carry over. The exam is entirely focused on cartridges, ISML templates, JavaScript controllers, OCAPI, Business Manager configuration, and the SFRA reference architecture. If you are an experienced B2C Commerce developer, this is a good way to formalize what you already know. If you are new to the platform, budget real time for hands-on work in a sandbox before you sit for this exam.

3-Step Path to Passing

  1. 1

    Complete the Develop for B2C Commerce Trail

    Work through the official developer trail on Trailhead. It covers SFRA, cartridges, Page Designer, and the developer tools you will need to build a real storefront.
  2. 2

    Attempt Practice Exams

    I recommend my own practice exams. The exam is scenario-heavy and code-centric, so timed practice under realistic conditions is the best way to find gaps before you sit for the real thing.
  3. 3

    Schedule Your Exam

    Schedule your exam when you are consistently scoring well on practice exams. Exams run every day at all hours, so there is no need to book far in advance.
