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.
