Question 1

The Client is creating a new Storefront and their requirements include:
• ApplePay support
• Log -n through a standard OAuth2 social media account
• One Okie checkout process
• Ay B testing forpromotions
Which two items require technical documentation for customizing the Storefront Reference
Architecture?
Choose 2 answers

Accepted Answer

A, C

Explanation: For customizing the Storefront Reference Architecture to meet specific requirements, the following items would require detailed technical documentation: Option A (One Click checkout process): Implementing a one-click checkout process involves significant customization to streamline the checkout flow, potentially requiring integration with payment providers and modifications to the user session management. Option C (Log in through a standard OAuth2 social media account): Integrating OAuth2 for social media logins involves handling authentication tokens, user sessions, and potentially syncing user data with the B2C Commerce profiles, all of which require detailed security and integration documentation. These customizations require careful planning and implementation to ensure they work seamlessly with existing Storefront Reference Architecture components and meet security standards.

Question 2

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) operate 200 physical stores. NTO has products that are available in
some of the physical stores and not available in others. The closest physical store is determined
based on customer s post zip code when they are shopping online. Only the products that are
available in the customer's closest physical store should be presented to the customer to the search
results.
What are the two feasible technical approaches to meet these requirements?
Choose 2 answers

Accepted Answer

B, D

Explanation: For Northern Trail Outfitters to ensure that only products available in a customer’s closest physical store are shown: Option B is effective because it organizes inventory by store-specific categories, which can then be dynamically linked to a customer’s location via their postal/zip code. This allows the system to filter search results based on the relevant category that corresponds to the closest store. Option D leverages separate pricebooks that are specific to each store, enabling product availability to be managed through price refinements. This method also uses the customer's zip code to activate the appropriate pricebook, ensuring that only products priced (and thus available) in the nearest store are displayed. Both methods are scalable and integrate seamlessly with the existing infrastructure of the Salesforce B2C Commerce platform.

Question 3

The following promotions are configured with no exclusivity (can be combined with any other
promotion) in a -1month campaign:
• Free correct- in -store shipping
• 20% accessories products discount, applies for all customers
• $5 off coupon based discount, sent to a selected group of customers
The combination of above promotions allows customers to get 16 socks for free in store. This was
unintended, and the Client If considering disabling the coupon. The Client is concerned about a
potential spike in the number of Call Center calls from customers who had the coupon code added to
their baskets before it was disabled. As basket lifetime is set to 30 days for all customers, this can
continue for the full length of the campaign.
What solutionshould the Architect suggest to keep the Call Center calls to a minimum?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: Reducing the basket lifetime is a strategic approach to minimizing the impact of disabling a promotional coupon. This action will cause baskets that may still contain the now-disabled coupon to expire sooner, thereby reducing the potential volume of calls to the Call Center from customers inquiring about the coupon. This method also avoids the drastic measure of clearing all existing baskets or restarting the production instance, which could disrupt user experience and lead to further customer dissatisfaction.

Question 4

An ecommerce site has dynamic shipping cost calculation. it allows the customers to see their
potential shipping costs on the Product Detail Page before adding an item to the cart.
For this feature, shipping touts are calculated using the following logic:
• Set the shipping method on the Basket
• Add the item to the basket, calculate the basket total and get the shipping cost for this method
• Remove the item from the Basket to restore the original state
• The above process is repeated for each shipping method
During
the
testing
it
was
discovered
that
the
above
code
violates
the
spi.basket.addResolveInSameResquest quota.
What should the Architect do to resolve this issue and maintain the business requirement?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: To resolve the issue of violating the spi.basket.addResolveInSameRequest quota and to maintain the functionality of dynamically calculating shipping costs for items before they are added to the basket, the best approach is: Option D: Wrapping the adding of product and shipping cost calculation in a transaction, which is then rolled back to restore the original state. This method ensures that the system can calculate potential shipping costs without permanently altering the state of the basket. This approach keeps the basket's original state intact while allowing for multiple shipping calculations, effectively managing the load on system resources and adhering to platform quotas.

Question 5

The Client has implemented a different category/search layout for mobile and desktop. The code
uses a session attribute called deviceType to choose the corresponding layout. This attribute it
populated from the browser user agent. After this implementation they have run into these
problems:
• Sometimes desktop pages are being served to both desktop and mobile customers.
• Sometimes mobile pages ate being served to both desktop and mobile customers.
The page has caching implementedthat depends; on promotions. SEC is very important and the site
traffic is high.
Which solution should the Architect select to resolve the issue without impacting the existing
requirements?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: To resolve the issue of incorrect page versions being served across different devices, changing the URL structure to include device-specific parameters can be highly effective. By adding parameters such as 'desktop' or 'mobile' to the URLs: The caching mechanism can differentiate between the content for different device types, thus caching and serving the correct version of the page according to the device type specified in the URL. This method allows for maintaining existing caching strategies linked to promotions and ensures that SEO is not adversely affected since the content remains the same per device type but is merely served through different URLs. This approach addresses the core issue without requiring disabling of caching or reengineering existing promotional structures, hence preserving site performance and user experience.

Question 6

A client has just pushed a new site live to Production. However during smoketesting. It's found that
some customers are not seeing the correct pricing on the Product Detail Page.
What three places would the Architect begin to look for the cause of this Issue?

Accepted Answer

C, D, E

Explanation: To resolve issues where some customers are not seeing the correct pricing on the Product Detail Page, the following places should be examined: Global P

Question 7

A new dent is moving from their existing ecommerce platform to B2C Commerce. They have an
existing service that connects to the Email Marketing System. The endpoint of the service can directly
parse the data posted by the customer from the Storefront page for marketing materials
subscriptions. it if required that theservice implementation on the B2C Commerce site supports
authentication and encoding.
What type should the Architect document this new service as?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: For a service that connects to an Email Marketing System where the endpoint can directly parse data posted by the customer from the storefront for marketing material subscriptions, documenting the service as an HTTP service is appropriate. This type of service will likely involve straightforward HTTP requests with authentication and encoding to ensure data integrity and security. The HTTP service type supports these requirements effectively, facilitating secure, reliable data transmission between the storefront and the email marketing system.

Question 8

A developer is checking for Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and found that the quick search is not escaped (allows inclusion of Javascript) in the following script: https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/B2C-COMMERCE-ARCHITECT/page_6_img_1.jpg How would the developer resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: To resolve the issue of Cross Site Scripting (XSS) where the quick search is not escaped, the developer should use the tag with the 'jshtml' encoding option (Answer B). This method ensures that any JavaScript included in the search phrase is properly escaped, preventing the execution of potentially malicious scripts. The 'jshtml' encoding is specifically designed to encode text for HTML contexts where JavaScript is embedded, providing a secure way to handle user input in Salesforce B2C Commerce.

Question 9

During implementation, the team found that there is a notification controller exposed for an external
service that marks the order as paid when notification is received. The notification URL is sent to the
service together with the payment request and contains only the URL with orderlD as the parameter.
What should the Architect recommend to the team in order to prevent the unauthorized usage of
the controller to mark the orders as paid?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: To enhance the security of the notification controller exposed for marking orders as paid, the recommended approach is to add an order-specific token to the callback URL (Answer C). This token should be verified against a stored value on the order to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the payment notification. This method prevents unauthorized use of the controller, as only callbacks containing the correct, order-specific token would be allowed to mark orders as paid. This strategy is essential in maintaining secure and reliable transaction processes within Salesforce B2C Commerce.

Question 10

The Client wishes to implement a third party integration that allows for free shipping If the customer
Is a member of the third party service. When the customer's order is exported to the Order
Management System (OMS) it also creates a custom object in order to track additional data before
sending that order data to the third-party service as well.
What technical concern should the Architect raise to protect performance and stability of the site1?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: When integrating a third-party service that relies on custom objects in B2C Commerce, the primary technical concern is the impact on performance and site stability related to the usage of these objects. Important considerations include: Custom object quota: Ensuring that the use of custom objects does not exceed platform limits, which could impact performance or even prevent new data from being stored. Retention or deletion needs: Proper management of custom object lifecycle is crucial to prevent data bloat and maintain database performance, including strategies for timely deletion or archiving of old data. Addressing these concerns is critical to maintaining the performance and stability of the site while integrating third-party services that require extensive data handling.

Question 11

The Client identifies that a segment of customers need to see some products on the site that other
customers should not be able to access. All products are maintained within one catalog but in
separate categories. A custom attribute will be used on the Profile system object to identify
customers that belong to this special segment. A customer group will be made that is qualified for by
this Profile custom attribute. The storefront will be customized to include navigation to relevant
categories for this customer group.
Unfortunately during technical review the Client points out that the business teams have raised a
concern with maintenance and want to use a shared navigation within the catalog and not use
separate categories.
Which item should the Architect suggest to efficiently fulfil this new requirement while maintaining
scalability?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: The optimal solution for this requirement is to modify the search results dynamically based on the user's customer group membership. This approach: Ensures that all users can navigate the same catalog and categories without seeing separate categories for special segments. Dynamically includes or excludes products from search results based on the user's membership in the special segment, effectively using existing catalog structures while personalizing product visibility. Maintains scalability by leveraging existing catalog and category infrastructure without needing additional custom attributes for navigation purposes. This method aligns with best practices for creating personalized customer experiences in B2C Commerce without complicating catalog management.

Question 12

During the testing of the login form, QA finds out that the first time the user can log in, but every
other login attempt from another computer leads to the homepage and the basket being emptied.
Developers tried to debug the issue, but when they add a breakpoint to the login action, it is not hit
by the debugger.
Whatshould the Architect recommend developers to check?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: When QA encounters issues with login persistence across multiple computers, where subsequent logins lead to a redirection and an emptied basket, the likely culprit could be unintended caching of login-related pages or processes. In Salesforce B2C Commerce, certain cache settings might inadvertently cause user sessions to be shared or not properly invalidated. The recommendation D, to check the login form and related templates for caching directives that might be erroneously caching login actions or user-specific data, addresses this potential issue. Developers should ensure that pages handling user sessions and authentication are configured to disable caching, thus preventing session data from being mistakenly retained or shared across different users.

Question 13

During discovery, the customerrequired a feature that is not inducted in the standard Storefront
Reference Architecture CSFRA). In order to save budget, the Architect needs to find the quickest way
to implement this feature.
What is the primary resource the Architect should use to search for an existing community
Implementation of the requested feature?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: When seeking a community implementation of a feature not included in the standard Storefront Reference Architecture (SFRA), the primary resource should be the Salesforce Commerce Cloud GitHub repository (Answer A). This repository often contains projects and code samples contributed by other developers in the community, which might include custom implementations that could be adapted to meet the customer's requirements. This approach not only leverages existing solutions that have been shared publicly but also can significantly save time and resources in development.

Question 14

The Client wants to have a flashsate on a few products every day. These products are sold through
B2C Commerce as well as an in store Point of Sale system that it tied to the same inventory.
An Architect analyzes the following proposed solution:
Inventory feed w*l continue to run dailybut add a web-service call to compare and update B2C
Commerce inventory in real time during checkout after a flash product's inventory reaches a
threshold.
Which two risks should the Architect communicate to the Client about this solution?
Choose 2 answers

Accepted Answer

B, A

Explanation: The risks associated with the proposed real-time inventory update solution during flash sales are: Option A (The default rate limiter configuration for the web-service could cause the web-service to return an exception during high traffic): This is a critical risk because high traffic during flash sales could exceed the rate limits set for the web-service, leading to exceptions and potentially failing to update inventory in real-time. Option B (If the external hosted web-service is unreliable, it could be a point of failure in the site’s order placement flow): Reliance on an external web-service for crucial operations like inventory updates introduces a risk of downtime or performance issues if the service is unreliable, directly impacting the ability to complete orders during peak sales periods. Both risks could severely disrupt operations during critical sales events, suggesting a need for robust contingency plans and potentially reevaluating the solution architecture to ensure reliability.

Question 15

A new project for a Client will involve a few different Integrations to their middleware system
resulting in four different web services. All will use the same credentials to the middleware. Each will
have the same timeout, but will require a separate log file prefix.
How should the Architect set this up with the Service framework using a minimal set of
configuration?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: For setting up multiple integrations that require the same credentials and timeout settings but need separate log file prefixes: Four Service Configurations are needed to specify the unique endpoint and other specifics for each of the four web services. One Service Profile can be used for all these configurations because they share the same timeout and other settings, optimizing the configuration process. One Service Credential is sufficient since all services authenticate with the same credentials, simplifying credential management and security handling. This setup reduces redundancy and complexity in the service framework, ensuring a streamlined and efficient integration process while meeting all specified requirements.
