The purpose of this integration is to allow users to create Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) content assets from content entries within Builder. This is an API-only integration and doesn't require a cartridge installation.
SFCC Content Assets Integration works via a webhook that listens for any content changes on the Builder side and creates, updates, or deletes the HTML equivalent as content assets in your SFCC library.
Set up a new API Client in the SFCC account manager, you’ll need admin access for this:
- go to the API Client screen.
- Click Add API Client
- Enter a display name to identify the API Client, for example, “Builder.io SFCC Sync”
- Enter a password. This will be your client secret.
- From the “Token Endpoint Auth Method” menu choose “client_secret_basic”
- Click ‘Add’
- Make a note of the API Client ID that is generated and the password to be used in next steps
- In SFCC Business Manager, go to Administration > Site Development > Open Commerce API Settings
- From the Select Type field, select ‘Data’
- From the Select Context field, select ‘Global’
- In the text field add the client ID from step 1 to the following json and paste it
