B2C Custom Api Development

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact with Salesforce B2C Commerce custom APIs, allowing for the retrieval and manipulation of data outside standard storefront capabilities. It bridges the gap between automated agent workflows and proprietary backend systems by executing specific API calls on behalf of the user.

When to use it

• Automating inventory checks or order status updates that require direct database access.
• Fetching real-time customer profile details not exposed through public web interfaces.
• Triggering internal business logic, such as applying custom discounts or updating loyalty points.
• Integrating external services with Salesforce Commerce Cloud backends via secure API endpoints.

Key capabilities

• Executes authenticated requests against custom B2C Commerce APIs.
• Handles JSON payloads and responses for complex data structures.
• Manages session tokens and authentication headers required for backend access.
• Supports both GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE operations depending on API design.

Example prompts

• "Retrieve the latest stock levels for product SKU-12345 using the custom inventory API."
• "Update customer John Doe's loyalty points to 500 via the rewards management endpoint."
• "Fetch all active promotional codes associated with region US-EAST and list their expiration dates."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has valid authentication credentials (API keys or OAuth tokens) before attempting to execute requests, as unauthorized access will be blocked. Always verify that the target API endpoints are documented and accessible from the environment where the agent is running.
