Commerce B2B Storefront Creation
Interactive workflow to create a Commerce B2B Store in Salesforce and retrieve the auto generated storefront metadata to your repository.
Critical Concepts
Commerce B2B = Store (backend data) + Storefront (frontend metadata). Store must be created first in the org to auto generate the Storefront. Never create storefront metadata manually.
See [Store vs Storefront Reference](references/store vs storefront.md)
When to Use This Skill
Trigger when users request:
"Create a B2B Commerce store"
"Build a Commerce storefront"
"Set up Commerce B2B"
"Create B2B Commerce"
"Retrieve Commerce storefront metadata"
"Deploy B2B storefront"
Rules That Always Apply
1. Always follow the interactive flow. Do NOT skip steps. Each step requires user confirmation before proceeding.
2. Never create storefront metadata manually. The Commerce setup wizard generates hundreds of configuration values. Manual creation will fail.
3. Always list sites before retrieval. Store names get underscores and number suffixes (e.g., "My B2B Store" → "My B2B Store1"). Let the user select from the actual list.
4. Always use json flag. Include json on all Salesforce CLI commands for parseable output.
