Salesforce Commerce Cloud B2C (formerly known as Demandware) is now a well-known eCommerce SaaS solution for companies that wishes to not only to go online within a short period of time, but can also deliver a premium and uniform UX across multiple touchpoints. Some of the major brands that use SFCC at this moment include Adidas, Puma, Lacoste and Jaguar Land Rover.

In 2016, Salesforce's $2.8 billion acquisition of Demandware plugs a big hole in its portfolio at that time, which was SaaS based B2C ecommerce. Salesforce acquired Demandware, let it run independently for a bit and then integrated its technology throughout its platform. By developing out of the box integration with Salesforce CRM and Salesforce OMS, SFCC B2C solution became more of a rounded package for enterprise level clients with high profit margin.

SFCC B2C is distinguished by a multi-tenant SaaS architecture that provides best in class reliability that is required for an ecommerce platform, which boast a 99.9% uptime. Platform provides personalisation intelligence (google Salesforce’s Einstein AI), user experience, and feature rich backend operation modules to power all stages of cross-channel e-commerce that new generation merchants expect from a e-commerce platform.

Salesforce has set up different pricing models SFCC B2C where it charges 1–3% of your gross merchandise value (GMV). As your business grows, you are automatically charged more because it is percentage-based. In contrast to popular ecommerce solution like Shopify, which works on a subscription-based, SFCC charges a merchant on a commission-based contract, by which a merchant is entitled to pay more if they sell more.

Overall, Salesforce Commerce Cloud is a very powerful and scalable eCommerce platform with lots of native features for merchandising, multiple store management, customer segmentation, internationalization, and many more.
