Free B2B-Commerce-Developer Salesforce Updates

 To implement a custom child checkout component for a B2B or B2C store created with an LWR template, the developer must implement the CheckoutStep interface from the commerce/checkout module. This interface defines the methods and properties that the child component must have to communicate with the parent checkout component and the checkout data provider. The CheckoutStep interface extends the UseCheckoutComponent interface, which provides the common functionality for all checkout components, such as loading and saving data, reporting validity, and handling errors.

The other options are not correct because:

• A. CheckoutSavable is not a valid interface for a custom child checkout component. There is no such interface in the commerce/checkout module or the Lightning web component framework.
• B. Checkoutoutinterface is not a valid interface for a custom child checkout component. There is no such interface in the commerce/checkout module or the Lightning web component framework.
• C. CustomCheckout is not a valid interface for a custom child checkout component. There is no such interface in the commerce/checkout module or the Lightning web component framework.

To persist payment information data in the Checkout flow for Salesforce B2B Commerce version 4.2 and beyond, the project needs to trigger the processPayment event and pass in the payment information object as an argument. This event will invoke the processPayment method of the ccServicePayment class, which will validate and process the payment information and return a payment result object. The payment result object will contain the status and details of the payment transaction.

To expose delivery time estimates to NTO’s customers in the storefront, a developer should display the Expected Delivery Date on the order page with a Lightning web component. The Expected Delivery Date is a custom field on the Order object that stores the date when the order is expected to be delivered to the customer. The developer can use the @wire decorator to get the current order object and use its properties, such as order number, status, total amount, and expected delivery date, to display them on the order page. The developer can also use Apex methods or third-party APIs to calculate and update the expected delivery date based on various factors, such as inventory availability, shipping method, shipping address, and carrier service level. Displaying the expected delivery date on the order page allows the customer to see their delivery time estimate at any time and reduce their need to call customer service. Adding the Expected Delivery Date field to the order confirmation email is not a good solution, as it does not allow the customer to see their delivery time estimate if they lose or delete their email. Adding a Desired Delivery Date input field during the checkout flow is not a good solution either, as it does not guarantee that the customer’s desired delivery date will be met or reflect any changes in delivery time due to unforeseen circumstances. Configuring an email alert to the customer when the Expected Delivery Date changes is not a good solution either, as it can create confusion or frustration for the customer if they receive multiple or conflicting emails about their delivery date.
