The Salesforce Commerce Cloud CLI is a command line interface (CLI) for Salesforce Commerce Cloud. It can be used to facilitate deployment and continuous integration practices using Salesforce B2C Commerce.
The CLI can be used from any machine either locally or from build tools, like Jenkins, Travis CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, Heroku CI etc.
In addition to the CLI a basic JavaScript API is included which can be used to integrate with higher level applications on Node.js.

The focus of the tool is to streamline and easy the communication with Commerce Cloud instances as part of the CI/CD processes. It focuses on the deployment part supporting quality checks such as test execution, not on the quality checks itself.
Features:
- Interactive and headless authentication against Account Manager
- Support for B2C On-Demand Developer Sandboxes
- Uses Open Commerce APIs completely
- Authentication using Oauth2
- Configuration of multiple instances incl. aliasing
- WebDAV connectivity
- Code deployment and code version management
- System job execution and monitoring (site import)
- Custom job execution and monitoring
- Add cartridges to site cartridge path
- Exploring Account Manager orgs and management of users and roles
- JavaScript API
Ensure you have a valid Commerce Cloud API key (client ID) set up. If you don't have a API key, you can create one using the Account Manager. Management of API keys is done in Account Manager > API Client and requires Account Administrator or API Administrator role.
For automation (e.g. a build server integration) you'll need the API key as well as the API secret for authentication. If you want to use authentication in interactive mode, you have to set Redirect URIs to http://localhost:8080
. If you want to manage sandboxes you have to set Default Scopes to roles tenantFilter profile
.
In order to use your API key with SLAS, please ensure the following are configured for your client:
- Has
Roles
>Commerce Cloud Developer Experience
>Sandbox API User
with "All Sandboxes" scope.
- Set Default Scopes to:
mail
roles
tenantFilter
profile
openId
- Set "Token Endpoint Auth Method" to
client_secret_post
- Set "Access Token Format" to
JWT
In order to perform CLI commands, you have to permit API calls to the Commerce Cloud instance(s) you wish to integrate with. You do that by modifying the Open Commerce API Settings as well as the WebDAV Client Permissions on the Commerce Cloud instance.
- Log into the Business Manager
- Navigate to Administration > Site Development > Open Commerce API Settings
- Make sure, that you select Data API and Global from the select boxes
- Add the permission set for your client ID to the settings.
Use the following snippet as your client's permission set, replace my_client_id
with your own client ID. Note, if you already have Open Commerce API Settings configured on your instance, e.g. for other API keys, you have to merge this permission set into the existing list of permission sets for the other clients.

If you plan to integrate with the JavaScript API or if you want to download the sources and use the CLI through Node you need Node.js and npm to be installed. No other dependencies.
Please check this guide on how to define dependency to the right version using a GIT url.
If do not want to use the JavaScript API, but just the CLI you don't need Node.js and npm necessarily. See "Installation Instructions" for details below.
You can install the CLI from npm
, using a pre-built binary or from source using Node.js.
If you already have Node.js installed, you can install globally using npm
or run using npx
:
npm install -g sfcc-ci
# Or alternatively, using npx:
npx sfcc-ci
If you are using the CLI but don't want to mess around with Node.js you can simply download the latest binaries for your OS at Releases. The assets with each release contain binaries for MacOS, Linux and Windows.
-
Download the binary for MacOS.
-
Make the binary executable:
chmod +x ./sfcc-ci-macos
-
Move the binary in to your PATH:
sudo mv ./sfcc-ci-macos /usr/local/bin/sfcc-ci
-
Download the binary for Linux.
-
Make the binary executable:
chmod +x ./sfcc-ci-linux
-
Move the binary in to your PATH:
sudo mv ./sfcc-ci-linux /usr/local/bin/sfcc-ci
-
Download the binary for Windows.
-
Add the binary in to your PATH:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\path\to\binary
You are now ready to use the tool by running the main command sfcc-ci
.
- Make sure Node.js and npm are installed.
- Clone or download the sources.
-
- If you choose to clone, it best done through ssh along with an ssh key which you have to create with your Github account.
-
- If you choose to download the latest sources, you can do so from Releases, after which you have to unzip the archive.
-
cd
into the directory and runnpm install
. You may choose to install globally, by runningnpm install -g
instead. - Check if installation was successful by running
sfcc-ci --help
. In case you encouter any issues with runningsfcc-ci
, you may runnpm link
to create a symbolic link explicitly. The symbolic link enables you to runsfcc-ci
from any location on your machine.

to get detailed help and example usage of a sub:command.
The CLI keeps it's own settings. The location of these settings are OS specific. On Linux they are located at $HOME/.config/sfcc-ci-nodejs/
, on MacOS they are located at $HOME/Library/Preferences/sfcc-ci-nodejs/
.
In addition the CLI can be configured by placing a dw.json
file into the current working directory. The dw.json
may carry details used run authentication.
{
"client-id": "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
"client-secret": "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
"username": "user",
"password": "password",
"hostname": "<dev-sandbox>.demandware.net"
}
The use of environment variables is optional. sfcc-ci
respects the following environment variables which you can use to control, how the CLI works:
-
SFCC_LOGIN_URL
set login url used for authentication -
SFCC_OAUTH_LOCAL_PORT
set Oauth local port for authentication flow -
SFCC_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID
client id used for authentication -
SFCC_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET
client secret used for authentication -
SFCC_OAUTH_USER_NAME
user name used for authentication -
SFCC_OAUTH_USER_PASSWORD
user password used for authentication -
SFCC_SANDBOX_API_HOST
set alternative sandbox API host -
SFCC_SANDBOX_API_POLLING_TIMEOUT
set timeout for sandbox polling in minutes -
DEBUG
enable verbose output
If you only want a single CLI command to write debug messages prepend the command using, e.g. DEBUG=* sfcc-ci <sub:command>
.
The parameters are used with the following precedence:
- Passing explicit params to the commandline (e.g
sfcc-ci client:auth client_id client_secret
) - Credentials in a
dw.json
- Creating an
.env
file - Setting
env vars
on your machine
Depending on how you use sfcc-ci
you make use of command sfcc-ci auth:login
or sfcc-ci client:auth
to authenticate. These commands accept credentials being explicitly passed as arguments to these commands. Use sfcc-ci auth:login --help
and sfcc-ci client:auth --help
for more info. However, there are alternative ways on how to make credentials available to the CLI for authentication:
- You can define credentials in a
dw.json
file. The CLI will attempt to read this file (if present) from the current working directory. - Alternatively you can use a set of well-known env vars (if set) which the CLI will use. Namely, these are
SFCC_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID
(client id),SFCC_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET
(client secret),SFCC_OAUTH_USER_NAME
(user name) andSFCC_OAUTH_USER_PASSWORD
(user password).
export SFCC_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
export SFCC_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>
export SFCC_OAUTH_USER_NAME=<user-name>
export SFCC_OAUTH_USER_PASSWORD=<user-password>
- Lastly you can make use of a
.env
file, which holds the credentials in form ofNAME=VALUE
using the same set of well-known env vars as above. The CLI will attempt to make use of the env vars in this file (if present) from the current working directory. For example:
SFCC_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
SFCC_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>
SFCC_OAUTH_USER_NAME=<user-name>
SFCC_OAUTH_USER_PASSWORD=<user-password>
sfcc-ci
uses a default authorization server. You can overwrite this authorization server and use an alternative login url using the env var SFCC_LOGIN_URL
:
export SFCC_LOGIN_URL=<alternative-authorization-server>
Removing the env var (unset SFCC_LOGIN_URL
) will make the CLI use the default authorization server again.
sfcc-ci
uses a default Oauth local port for authentication flow via command sfcc-ci auth:login
. You can overwrite this port and use an alternative port number (e.g. if the default port is used on your machine and you cannot use is) using the env var SFCC_OAUTH_LOCAL_PORT
:
export SFCC_OAUTH_LOCAL_PORT=<alternative-port>
Removing the env var (unset SFCC_OAUTH_LOCAL_PORT
) will make the CLI use the default port again.
Depending on which activities you want to want to perform, you have to ensure proper permissions have been granted beforehand. The required permissions and how to grant them depends on the commands you want to perform and whether you want to execute commands interactively (with the presence of a user) or implement automations (no user present).
Consult the table below to set permissions depending on the activity desired:
Commands | Interactive Use | Automation Use |
---|---|---|
data:* | OCAPI Data API Settings | OCAPI Data API Settings |
sandbox:* | Sandbox API User role assigned to user | Sandbox API User role assigned to API client |
instance:* | OCAPI Data API Settings | OCAPI Data API Settings |
code:* | OCAPI Data API Settings | OCAPI Data API Settings |
job:* | OCAPI Data API Settings | OCAPI Data API Settings |
cartridge:* | OCAPI Data API Settings | OCAPI Data API Settings |
org:* | Account Administrator role assigned to user | Account Administrator role assigned to API client |
role:* | Account Administrator role assigned to user or OCAPI Data API Settings | Account Administrator role assigned to API client or OCAPI Data API Settings |
users:* | Account Administrator role assigned to user or OCAPI Data API Settings | Account Administrator role assigned to API client or OCAPI Data API Settings |
Authorizing a user usually requires assigning the required role to the user in Account Manager. Assigning a role to a user in Account Manager, such as the Sandbox API User
role, itself requires the Account Administrator role.
Authorizing an API client requires assigning the required role to the API client in Account Manager or granting permissions to the API client on the B2C Commerce instance via the OCAPI Data API settings. Assigning a role to an API client in Account Manager, such as the Sandbox API User
role, itself requires the Account Administrator or API Admin role.
sfcc-ci
uses a default host for the sandbox API. This is the standard Sandbox API Gateway at admin.dx.commercecloud.salesforce.com. Usually this is fine and you don't need to change this. However, you can overwrite this host and use an alternative host using the env var SFCC_SANDBOX_API_HOST
:
export SFCC_SANDBOX_API_HOST=<alternative-sandbox-api-host>
Removing the env var (unset SFCC_SANDBOX_API_HOST
) will make the CLI use the default host again.
sfcc-ci
allows the creation of a sandbox in sync mode (see sfcc-ci sandbox:create --help
for details). By default the polling of the sandbox status lasts for 10 minutes at maximum until the timeout is reached. You can overwrite this timeout and specify another timeout in minutes using the env var SFCC_SANDBOX_API_POLLING_TIMEOUT
:
export SFCC_SANDBOX_API_POLLING_TIMEOUT=<alternative-sandbox-api-polling-timeout-in-minutes>
Removing the env var (unset SFCC_SANDBOX_API_POLLING_TIMEOUT
) will make the CLI use the default timeout again.
You can force sfcc-ci
to write debug messages to the console using the env var DEBUG
. You can do this for globally by setting the env var, so that any following CLI command will write debug messages:
export DEBUG=*
If you only want a single CLI command to write debug messages use the the -D,--debug
flag with any command, e.g. sfcc-ci <sub:command> --debug
.
To output objects to a sorted list, add the -S,--sortby
option to one of the supported commands. Sort objects by specifying any field.
The examples below assume you have defined a set of environment variables:
- an API Key (the client ID)
- an API Secret (the client secret)
On Linux and MacOS you can set environment variables as follows:
export API_KEY=<my-api-key>
export API_SECRET=<my-api-secret>
On Windows you set them as follows:
set API_KEY=<my-api-key>
set API_SECRET=<my-api-secret>
The remainder of the examples below assume you are on Linux or MacOS. If you are on Windows you access environment variables using %MY_ENV_VAR%
instead of $MY_ENV_VAR
.
Note: Some CLI commands provide structured output of the operation result as JSON. To process this JSON a tool called jq
comes in handy. Installation and documentation of jq
is located at https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/.
In an interactive mode you usually authenticate as follows:
sfcc-ci auth:login $API_KEY
In an automation scenario (where no user is present) authentication is done using API client credentials as follows:
sfcc-ci client:auth $API_KEY $API_SECRET
Logging out (and removing auth tokens from the machine):
sfcc-ci auth:logout
Pushing code to any SFCC instance and activate it:
sfcc-ci code:deploy <path/to/code_version.zip> -i your-instance.demandware.net
sfcc-ci code:activate <code_version> -i your-instance.demandware.net
Running an instance import (aka site import) on any SFCC instance:
sfcc-ci instance:upload <path/to/data.zip> -i your-instance.demandware.net
sfcc-ci instance:import <data.zip> -i your-instance.demandware.net -s
Running the instance import without waiting for the import to finish you omit the --sync,-c
flag:
sfcc-ci instance:import <data.zip> -i your-instance.demandware.net
Provision a new sandbox, outputting the inbound and outbound IP addresses, uploading code and running an instance import:
SANDBOX=`sfcc-ci sandbox:create <a-realm> -s -j`
SANDBOX_HOST=`$SANDBOX | jq '.instance.host' -r`
sfcc-ci sandbox:ips
sfcc-ci code:deploy <path/to/code.zip> -i $SANDBOX_HOST
sfcc-ci instance:upload <path/to/data.zip> -i $SANDBOX_HOST -s
sfcc-ci instance:import <data.zip> -i your-instance.demandware.net
Handles the cartridge path of your Site. Very useful for plugin installation. You can put the cartridge on top or at the bottom of the cartridge path. Or if given an anchor cartridge at the before or after a cartridge.
sfcc-ci cartridge:add <cartridgename> -p [first|last] -S <siteid>
sfcc-ci cartridge:add <cartridgename> -p [before|after] -t [targetcartidge] -S <siteid>
There is a JavaScript API available, which you can use to program against and integrate the commands into your own project.
Make sfcc-ci available to your project by specifying the dependeny in your package.json
first and running and npm install
in your package. After that you require the API into your implementation using:
const sfcc = require('sfcc-ci');
The API is structured into sub modules. You may require sub modules directly, e.g.
const sfcc_auth = require('sfcc-ci').auth;
const sfcc_cartridge = require('sfcc-ci').cartridge;
const sfcc_code = require('sfcc-ci').code;
const sfcc_instance = require('sfcc-ci').instance;
const sfcc_job = require('sfcc-ci').job;
const sfcc_slas = require('sfcc-ci').slas;
const sfcc_user = require('sfcc-ci').user;
const sfcc_webdav = require('sfcc-ci').webdav;
The following APIs are available (assuming sfcc
refers to require('sfcc-ci')
):

APIs available in require('sfcc-ci').auth
:
auth(client_id, client_secret, callback)
Authenticates a clients and attempts to obtain a new Oauth2 token. Note, that tokens should be reused for subsequent operations. In case of a invalid token you may call this method again to obtain a new token.
Param | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
client_id | (String) | The client ID |
client_secret | (String) | The client secret |
callback | (Function) | Callback function executed as a result. The error and the token will be passed as parameters to the callback function. |
Returns: (void) Function has no return value
Example:
const sfcc = require('sfcc-ci');
