B2C-Commerce-Developer Leak Questions

To identify the issue of an Account Addresses page showing the wrong shopper's address, the developer should start with the Storefront Toolkit (Option A). This tool provides access to real-time diagnostics and debugging capabilities directly on the storefront, allowing developers to inspect controller calls, caching behaviors, and other session-specific data that could contribute to the problem. The Storefront Toolkit is an effective first step for troubleshooting issues that manifest in the storefront environment, as it allows for immediate visibility into the operations of the site as experienced by end-users.

To add a new order comments attribute to the existing SiteGenesis checkout flow and include it as part of the standard order export, the correct steps involve modifying the system objects and controller logic directly associated with order processing: A. Add the new attribute to the "Order" system object. Modify the "COPlaceOrder" controller to add this new attribute to the current session's "Order" object. This approach integrates the new attribute into the existing order data structure, allowing it to be seamlessly included in the standard order export process without the need for additional data handling or storage mechanisms. This method is supported by the Salesforce B2C Commerce documentation on system object extensions and controller modifications for enhancing functionality.

To ensure that gift vouchers are always available for sale regardless of actual inventory, a developer should utilize the "perpetual" flag in the product inventory record. By checking the perpetual flag in Business Manager, the inventory system treats this product as always available, effectively ignoring any inventory checks. This is particularly suitable for non-physical or digital items like gift vouchers, where the concept of physical stock does not apply. The perpetual flag setting ensures that the item can be sold without limits, which aligns with the nature of digital vouchers.

After the server-side controller code is defined in Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud, it is necessary to ensure that it can be consumed by other parts of the application. This is done by exporting the server object. The correct way to make a server-side controller available for page component display is by using the server.exports() method. This approach is validated by typical usage patterns seen in the SFRA where controllers are modular and need to be exported for application-wide accessibility.
