- Certification: Salesforce B2C Commerce Developer
- Exam section: B2C Commerce Setup
- Study guide: https://www.certifyforce.com/study-guide/b2c-commerce-developer

**Official exam objective:**

> Given a recently created B2C site, assign the storefront data configurations according to business requirements.

## What the exam expects

- Give a new site its products, prices and stock by assigning a catalog, price books and an inventory list from each object's Site Assignments tab.
- Say how many catalogs, price books and inventory lists one site can have, and what happens when you assign another.
- Enable locales for a site and pick its default under Site Preferences > Locales.
- Find the SFRA Storefront Configuration preferences (instance type, default list price book ID) under Custom Preferences.
- Know that products only reach search after the search index is rebuilt.

Key terms: **Site Assignments tab** (the tab on a catalog, price book or inventory list that links it to sites); **storefront catalog** (the catalog whose categories become a site's navigation); **inventory list** (stock records a site reads); **site preferences** (per-site settings under Merchant Tools > Site Preferences); **organization** (all sites in an instance; global settings apply to every site).

## Check yourself

- When you assign a catalog to a site, what becomes the storefront's navigation structure?
- When you unassign a site's catalog, what replaces it?
- Why mark one locale as the default when several are allowed?
- Which functional permission lets a role work on price books for selected sites only?
