304 - Beyond the Basics: Advanced SFCC Configuration

This advanced Salesforce B2C Commerce course is made for developers and technical users who want to go beyond the basics.

You will learn how to create sandbox aliases. This helps you work with clean URLs and better manage multiple environments. We’ll walk you through each step, including DNS settings and common mistakes.

Then, we’ll explore different types of timeouts. You’ll understand how session timeouts work, what CSRF expiration means, and how long customer baskets are kept active. We also cover “Remember Me” functionality and the difference between anonymous and registered users.

Next, we go into custom caching. You’ll learn what it is, when to use it, and how to configure it in Business Manager. We’ll also show you how to debug it in your code using breakpoints, and how to flush cache manually if needed.

We dedicate one full module to the robots.txt file. You’ll learn how to configure it for different environments like production, staging, and sandbox. We explain the risks of doing it wrong, and how to check if your site is blocking or allowing bots properly.

Finally, we focus on Access Keys. These allow secure connections to B2C Commerce without exposing passwords. You’ll learn how to create them, when to use them, and how they help in automation.

The course includes real examples, on-screen demos, and best practices. All content is clear, practical, and easy to follow.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid understanding of these key features. You’ll also be able to apply them with confidence in real projects.
