B2C-Solution-Architect Salesforce Certified B2C Solution Architect (WI24) Questions and Answers

A. Enabling customer service agents to enroll customers in an Abandoned Cart Journey in Marketing Cloud if an interaction does not result in the processing of an order can help increase checkouts and decrease the time from adding items to completing a checkout by sending targeted and personalized messages to customers who have left items in their carts without purchasing them. This can help re-engage customers, remind them of their cart contents, and encourage them to complete their orders. D. Monitoring the cart items and time since it has been active in B2C Commerce and sending a reminder and checkout incentive 18 hours after the cart was last modified can help increase checkouts and decrease the time from adding items to completing a checkout by leveraging customer behavior data, timing, and urgency to motivate customers to buy their items before they are out of stock or unavailable. This can help reduce cart abandonment, increase conversion rates, and boost customer loyalty. References:

Digital Engagement is a set of features in Service Cloud that enables agents to communicate with customers using social messaging channels such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and SMS. To justify the recommendation of implementing Digital Engagement, a Solution Architect can use the following reasons:

• Mobile Connect lacks integration with the service agent console without Digital Engagement. Mobile Connect is a feature in Marketing Cloud that allows sending and receiving SMS messages. However, without Digital Engagement, Mobile Connect messages cannot be handled by Service Cloud agents in the service console or omnichannel routing.
• Social Studio does not support 1:1 messaging on the apps listed in the scenario. Social Studio is a feature in Marketing Cloud that allows listening and engaging with customers on social media platforms. However, Social Studio does not support direct messaging on Facebook or WhatsApp, which are popular social messaging channels.

Option B is incorrect because Mobile Connect supports outbound messaging in more than 200 countries. Option D is incorrect because Social Studio can respond to public posts or comments on social media platforms. References:

Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud are considered authoritative systems for consent and compliance preferences, as well as primary person attributes such as name, address, birthday, phone, and email. Service Cloud is the system of record for customer service interactions and case management, and it can store customer consent and preferences for different channels and purposes. Marketing Cloud is the system of record for customer engagement and marketing campaigns, and it can store customer consent and preferences for email, SMS, push notifications, and other channels. B2C Commerce is not an authoritative system for consent and compliance preferences, as it does not store them natively. It can store some primary person attributes such as name, address, phone, and email, but they may not be the most up-to-date or accurate. Experience Cloud is not an authoritative system for consent and compliance preferences, as it relies on other systems to store them. It can store some primary person attributes such as name, email, and birthday, but they may not be the most up-to-date or accurate. References:

This answer is correct because Salesforce Connect can be used to display external data in Salesforce without copying or storing it. Salesforce Connect uses external objects to access data from an external system via an adapter. This way, the order data from the ERP system can be displayed in Service Cloud as read-only records without consuming additional storage space. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.datacloud_connect.htm &type=5

• C is correct because Marketing Cloud Triggered Send is a feature that allows sending personalized emails based on events or actions in another system, such as B2C Commerce. Triggered Send can be used to send password reset emails when a new account is created or the email address is updated in B2C Commerce. Triggered Send also tracks email open and forward count in Marketing Cloud. To disable the coupon code after a single use, B2C Commerce can use coupon code restrictions based on redemption count.
• A is incorrect because Service Cloud Email Service is a feature that allows receiving and processing inbound emails from customers in Service Cloud. It is not used to send password reset emails or track email open and forward count.
• B is incorrect because Marketing Cloud Journey Event is a feature that allows triggering journeys based on events or actions in another system, such as B2C Commerce. Journey Event can be used to send password reset emails, but it is more suitable for complex or multi-step customer interactions, such as welcome series or re-engagement campaigns. Triggered Send is more efficient and simpler for single-step interactions, such as password reset.
• D is incorrect because Commerce Cloud Email Service is a feature that allows sending transactional emails from B2C Commerce, such as order confirmation or shipping notification. It is not used to send password reset emails or track email open and forward count.

A system is a software application or platform that provides specific functionality or capabilities for a business. A system can be either internal or external to Salesforce, depending on where it is hosted and how it is accessed. To deliver key capabilities for its B2C business, a company should use the following systems:

• Sales Cloud: Sales Cloud is a product that allows managing sales processes and activities across different channels and devices. Sales Cloud can help the company to deliver a full list of all customer orders throughout their engagement lifetime, by integrating with B2C Commerce and other systems to capture and display order information on customer records.
• Marketing Cloud: Marketing Cloud is a product that allows creating and delivering personalized marketing campaigns across different channels and devices. Marketing Cloud can help the company to provide lifetime engagement tracking and history of the customer, by integrating with B2C Commerce and other systems to collect and analyze customer behavior and interactions across touchpoints.
• Salesforce Order Management: Salesforce Order Management is a product that allows managing and fulfilling orders across different channels and systems. Salesforce Order Management can help the company to calculate the lifetime value of customers based on their orders, by integrating with B2C Commerce and other systems to aggregate and report on order revenue and profitability.

Option B is incorrect because Service Cloud is a product that allows managing customer service interactions across different channels and systems. Service Cloud does not provide any of the capabilities that the company needs, such as delivering a full list of customer orders, providing lifetime engagement tracking, or calculating lifetime value of customers. Option C is incorrect because Heroku is a platform that allows building, running, and scaling custom web applications using various languages and frameworks. Heroku does not provide any of the capabilities that the company needs, such as delivering a full list of customer orders, providing lifetime engagement tracking, or calculating lifetime value of customers. Option D is incorrect because Materials Written is not a system, but rather a term that refers to written documents or content that are used for communication or education purposes. Materials Written does not provide any of the capabilities that the company needs, such as delivering a full list of customer orders, providing lifetime engagement tracking, or calculating lifetime value of customers.

A. Additional infrastructure (for example Heroku servers) may be required to host the application when using a headless approach. This can increase the complexity, cost, and maintenance of the solution. A Solution Architect should consider the trade-offs between flexibility and simplicity when choosing a headless approach. B. Features that are available by default in the Storefront Reference Architecture (SFRA) app will need to be custom built in custom frameworks when using a headless approach. This can increase the development time, effort, and risk of the solution. A Solution Architect should consider the benefits and drawbacks of using SFRA versus custom frameworks when choosing a headless approach. D. Available Service, Marketing, and LINK accelerators may not work without modifications when using a headless approach. This can limit the integration capabilities and functionality of the solution. A Solution Architect should consider the compatibility and extensibility of the accelerators when choosing a headless approach. References:

This answer is correct because core profile data (name, email) should be maintained within Experience Cloud as the primary system when using communities as an identity provider (IDP) for commerce. This ensures that customers have a consistent identity across both platforms and can access self-service support features in communities. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.b2c_commerce_service_cloud_integration.htm &type=5

API-led connectivity is a method of connecting data to applications through reusable and purposeful APIs. MuleSoft Accelerator for Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud is a solution that uses API-led connectivity to integrate B2C Commerce with other systems such as PIM, ERP, or Service Cloud. The benefits of API-led connectivity while implementing the MuleSoft accelerator for B2C Commerce are:

• It enables self-service and an increase in productivity through reusable microservices and APIs. API-led connectivity allows developers to create modular and reusable microservices and APIs that can be easily discovered, accessed, and composed by other developers or business users. This reduces duplication of effort, increases agility, and accelerates time to market.
• It enforces a distributed approach and allows for the creation of Experience APIs, Data APIs, and System APIs. API-led connectivity follows a distributed approach that decouples data sources from data consumers, enabling greater scalability, flexibility, and security. It also allows for the creation of three layers of APIs: Experience APIs that tailor data to specific channels or devices, Data APIs that orchestrate data from multiple sources, and System APIs that connect to core systems of record.

Option B is incorrect because API-led connectivity does not let the business quickly integrate different systems without involving IT. It requires IT to design, build, and manage the APIs that enable integration. Option C is incorrect because API-led connectivity does not offer a template-driven approach for development. It offers a methodology and a framework for developing APIs based on best practices. References:

• https://www.mulesoft.com/resources/api/what-is-api-led-connectivity

These answers are correct because they are ways that Salesforce CDP can help the organization in this scenario. Salesforce CDP can ingest customer data from each system and use matching rules to find records representing the same person, uniting them under a Unified Individual. This creates a single view of the customer across all systems and channels. Salesforce CDP can also power experiences through other channels like Marketing Cloud Engagement by activating customer segments. This enables personalized and targeted marketing campaigns based on customer data and behavior. References: https://www.salesforce.com/products/customer-data-platform/overview/

A self-service portal is a feature in Service Cloud that allows creating branded websites and portals for customers to access self-service resources, such as knowledge articles, case management, chat, etc. To ensure that the theme of the self-service portal is consistent with the theme of the B2C Commerce storefront, a Solution Architect should do the following:

• Set the value of the Style Sheet URL setting to match the publicly-accessible URL of the style sheet the organization wants to use. The Style Sheet URL setting is a configuration option in Service Cloud that allows specifying a custom style sheet for the self-service portal. The style sheet must be hosted on a publicly-accessible web server and must follow certain guidelines and limitations. By setting the value of the Style Sheet URL setting to match the style sheet used by the B2C Commerce storefront, the Solution Architect can ensure that the self-service portal has the same look and feel as the storefront.

Option B is incorrect because there is no Portal Theme URL setting in Service Cloud. Option C is incorrect because copying any relevant CSS code from the organization’s website and pasting it into the pages for the self-service portal in Page Builder is not a recommended or supported way of customizing the theme of the self-service portal. Option D is incorrect because making a copy of the appropriate CSS file from the organization’s web server and uploading it to the self-service portal is not possible or advisable. The CSS file must be hosted on a publicly-accessible web server and referenced by the Style Sheet URL setting. References:

This answer is correct because it describes the capabilities of a B2C Commerce and Service Cloud integration with Order Management that can benefit service agents most. By sending order and transaction information to Service Cloud, service agents can have a complete view of the customer’s order history, status, and payment details, which can help them provide better service during returns, exchanges, and payments. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.b2c_commerce_service_cloud_integration.htm &type=5

Marketing Cloud provides both REST and SOAP APIs for integrating with other systems, including Service Cloud. Both APIs can be used to perform various operations such as creating, updating, or deleting data objects, triggering messages, retrieving tracking data, and more. The REST API uses JSON request and response bodies, while the SOAP API uses XML request and response bodies. The choice of API depends on the use case, preference, and compatibility of the systems involved. References:

The Storefront Reference Architecture (SFRA) is a modern, mobile-first framework for building B2C Commerce storefronts that are fast, responsive, and scalable. Marketing Cloud is a powerful platform for customer engagement that can integrate with B2C Commerce and provide personalized, cross-channel marketing campaigns. References: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/commerce/sfra/overview/about-sfra https://www.salesforce.com/products/marketing-cloud/overview/

Salesforce Order Management is a product that allows managing orders across different channels and systems. To migrate the existing in-house order management solution to the Salesforce Order Management product, the following actions should be taken:

• Configure data extensions and triggered sends in Marketing Cloud to support transactional emails for ordering scenarios. Data extensions are tables that store data in Marketing Cloud, and triggered sends are email messages that are sent automatically based on an external event. Data extensions and triggered sends can be used to store order data and send order confirmation, shipment notification, or cancellation emails to customers.
• Modify the Service Cloud Connector implementation to remove potentially conflicting features with the Order Management Connector. The Service Cloud Connector is a cartridge that enables integration between B2C Commerce and Service Cloud. The Order Management Connector is a cartridge that enables integration between B2C Commerce and Salesforce Order Management. Some features of the Service Cloud Connector, such as order history or order cancellation, may conflict with the Order Management Connector, so they should be removed or disabled.
• Integrate Salesforce Order Management to B2C Commerce for order history and user self service. This integration allows customers to view their order history and status, track their shipments, cancel their orders, or initiate returns on the B2C Commerce storefront. This integration also allows agents to view and manage orders in Service Cloud.

Option D is incorrect because migrating subscriber keys in Marketing Cloud to a new Order Management customer identifier is not necessary or recommended. Option E is incorrect because replacing the Service Cloud Connector with an Order Management Connector for B2C Commerce is not possible or advisable. References:

References: https://www.heroku.com/home https://www.postgresql.org/

The Secondary Instance Group is used for sandboxes in B2C Commerce. Adding new sandboxes to this group does not require creating a new realm or adding instances to the Primary Instance Group, which is used for production and staging instances. References: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/commerce/b2c-commerce/guide/b2c-developer-sandboxes.html

B2C Commerce should be defined as the data source authority for the customer attributes collected from the sweepstakes page, as it is the system that captures the customer data directly from the web form and validates the customer consent and compliance preferences. The other systems can consume or sync the customer data from B2C Commerce, but they should not overwrite or modify the data without the customer’s consent.

The REST calls between B2C Commerce and Service Cloud are subject to API governor limits, which can affect the performance and availability of the integration. The service agent users need to have B2C Commerce permissions and access keys to log in and place orders on behalf of registered storefront shoppers. 

This answer is correct because it is a way to store payment information while still maintaining security and compliance. A tokenized payment card is a method that replaces sensitive card data with a unique identifier or token that cannot be mathematically reversed. The actual card data is stored in a secure vault by a payment processor or gateway. This way, the company can facilitate one-click ordering and automatic payment without exposing or storing the actual card data. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.b2c_commerce_payment_processing.htm &type=5

This answer is correct because it is a way to export all the customer data from B2C Commerce and import into Service Cloud without additional development. Business Manager is a tool that allows B2C Commerce administrators to export customer data in CSV format. Data Loader is a tool that allows Salesforce administrators to import data from CSV files into Salesforce objects. References: https://documentation.b2c.commercecloud.salesforce.com/DOC1/topic/com.demandware.dochelp/BusinessManager/ExportingCustomerData.html https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.dataLoader.meta/dataLoader/data_loader.htm

This answer is correct because managing inventory data inside of B2C Commerce makes it easier to parse by store and enable buy online pick up in store (BOPIS) functionality. B2C Commerce can store inventory information for multiple locations and provide real-time availability information to customers and service agents. B2C Commerce can also integrate with Salesforce OMS to manage order fulfillment and payment processing for BOPIS orders. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.b2c_commerce_oms_integration.htm &type=5

This answer is correct because it is a way to respond to the management team’s request to help formulate a roadmap for these new capabilities using the relationship design process. The relationship design process is a method that centers relationships as the building blocks of business and social value. It is based on four mindsets that can help design products and services from a place of compassion: compassion, intention, courage, and reciprocity. By facilitating a workshop with the management team, applying the relationship design process, a Solution Architect can help create a roadmap that aligns with business objectives and builds customer trust. References: https://www.salesforce.com/blog/how-relationship-design-works/

Shield Platform Encryption is a feature that allows you to encrypt sensitive data at rest in Service Cloud and B2C Commerce, while preserving platform functionality. Encrypted Data Sending (EDS) is a feature that allows you to send encrypted data from Service Cloud to Marketing Cloud using an encryption key that only you control.

• Option A is correct because enabling SSO on both Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud is a necessary step to allow agents to authenticate and access all systems with the least possible clicks, as they only need to log in once with their credentials and then switch between systems seamlessly.
• Option B is correct because defining which system is acting as an identity provider (IDP) is a necessary step to configure SSO between Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud, as it determines which system will verify the identity of the agents and issue authentication tokens for the other system.
• Option E is correct because enabling MFA on the identity provider (IDP) is a necessary step to meet the company’s requirement of confirming the identity of the agents using multi-factor authentication (MFA) upon logging in to either system. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring agents to enter a verification code or use another device besides their username and password.
• Option C is incorrect because configuring Marketing Cloud Connect is not a necessary step to enable SSO between Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud, as it is used for data synchronization and integration purposes, not for authentication or access management.
• Option D is incorrect because enabling Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) and Salesforce Event Monitoring on the identity provider (IDP) are not necessary steps to enable SSO between Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud, as they are used for different purposes. ADFS is used for federating identities across different domains or organizations, while Salesforce Event Monitoring is used for tracking user activity and performance within Salesforce.

These answers are correct because they are actions that a Solution Architect should take to help meet the need for improving lead generation metrics. Implementing Audience Studio and integrating it with Marketing Cloud can help bridge the divide between the known and the unknown customer by capturing and activating data from multiple sources and channels. Using analytics tools such as Datorama can help improve accountability on campaign spend for digital advertising and marketing campaigns by providing insights into performance, ROI, and optimization. Running a proof-of-concept of Customer 360 Data Manager can help build unified customer identities by ingesting and matching data from different systems and creating a single source of truth for customer data.

A support case is a record that tracks a customer’s question, problem, feedback, or request for service. A support case can be created manually by a user or automatically by an email, web form, chat, etc. A support case can be assigned to a user or a queue for further action or resolution. To automatically route incoming support cases to the correct team based on their tier level, a Solution Architect should configure the following:

• Assignment Rules: Assignment rules are rules that define how to assign cases to users or queues based on certain criteria or conditions. Assignment rules can help automate the case assignment process and ensure that cases are routed to the right people or teams based on their skills, availability, workload, etc.
• Queues: Queues are lists of records that need to be worked on by multiple users or teams. Queues can help organize and prioritize workloads and distribute cases among users or teams based on their capacity or expertise.

Option C is incorrect because support processes are processes that define the stages or statuses that a case goes through from creation to closure. Support processes do not affect how cases are assigned to users or queues based on tier level. Option D is incorrect because auto response rules are rules that define how to send automatic email responses to customers when cases are created or updated based on certain criteria or conditions. Auto response rules do not affect how cases are assigned to users or queues based on tier level. References:

Recommending CDP to integrate with their existing marketing tools and create individual profiles into commerce with the Commerce CDP Connector is a recommendation that a Solution Architect can make that will work with their existing technology investments. CDP is a platform that allows companies to unify, segment, activate, and analyze their customer data from multiple sources, including their existing marketing tools. CDP can also integrate with B2C Commerce using the Commerce CDP Connector, which enables bi-directional synchronization of individual profiles and customer groups between CDP and B2C Commerce. This way, the company can have a single view of their customers across all their marketing systems and their commerce tool, and provide personalized and consistent experiences.

Marketing Cloud treats leads and contacts as separate records, even if they have the same email address. This means that syncing leads from Sales Cloud to Marketing Cloud can create duplicate contacts and increase the contact count and billing. To avoid this, the marketing team should consider using contacts only or converting leads to contacts before syncing them to Marketing Cloud.

A Marketing Cloud sandbox is a separate instance that can be used for testing and development purposes. It can be connected to multiple Service Cloud sandboxes using Marketing Cloud Connect. This setup allows data segregation and cost efficiency, as opposed to creating multiple Marketing Cloud instances or business units.

• Option D is correct because B2C Commerce creates a customer ID when a customer registers an account before making their first purchase, but the primary record should be created through Service Cloud using an external ID field that matches the customer ID from B2C Commerce. This way, Service Cloud can store additional customer information and provide a single source of truth for customer data across multiple Salesforce clouds.
• Option A is incorrect because Service Cloud does not create a customer ID when a customer registers an account on B2C Commerce, nor does it create an additional ID to be used as the primary record. Service Cloud uses an external ID field that matches the customer ID from B2C Commerce to create or update customer records.
• Option B is incorrect because B2C Commerce does not create an additional ID to be used as the primary record when a customer registers an account. B2C Commerce only creates a customer ID that can be matched with an external ID field in Service Cloud or other Salesforce clouds.
• Option C is incorrect because Marketing Cloud does not create a customer ID when a customer registers an account on B2C Commerce, nor does it create a primary ID that should be used by other Salesforce clouds. Marketing Cloud uses subscriber keys that can be mapped to customer IDs from B2C Commerce or other external systems.
