Getting Started on Agentforce Commerce (SFCC)

This page is a simple summary of Nimstrata's Retail Cloud Connect cartridge implementation flow for Agentforce Commerce (formerly Salesforce Commerce Cloud or SFCC).

Before You Begin

Please contact Nimstrata to set up your account, contract, and required credentials.

Basic Setup Flow

  1. Get the latest Retail Cloud Connect cartridge from Nimstrata's support team or AppExchange.
  2. Install the cartridge in your storefront.
  3. Register the Business Manager and storefront cartridge paths in Agentforce Commerce.
  4. Assign Business Manager permissions so the Nimstrata dashboard is visible.
  5. Import the provided SiteData package for metadata, services, and jobs.
  6. Configure Nimstrata site preferences and service credentials.
  7. Configure and run the catalog upload job to complete the first full catalog sync.
  8. Enable Vertex AI Search and/or Category Pages after the catalog sync completes successfully.
  9. Enable User Events widget to collect front-end user data.

What Gets Added

After importing the cartridge, you should see:

  • Nimstrata site preferences
  • Search, autocomplete, and SFTP services
  • Catalog index and catalog update jobs

Catalog Sync

The first full sync usually includes catalog, price book, sales price book, inventory, and SFTP upload steps. After setup, run the upload job once manually, then schedule it based on how often your catalog changes.

Search, Category Pages, and Recommendations

Once the cartridge is configured and the catalog sync succeeds, you can enable:

  • Vertex AI Search for Commerce for storefront search, category pages, and autocomplete
  • User Events for model training and deep personalization
  • Recommendation widgets for home, PDP, and cart pages

Recommendation Notes

  • Home page widgets do not need an anchor product.
  • PDP widgets use the current product as the anchor.
  • Cart widgets require sending cart product data from the storefront.
