B2C SLAS Skill

Use the b2c CLI plugin to manage SLAS (Shopper Login and API Access Service) API clients and credentials.

Important: SLAS is for shopper (customer) authentication used by storefronts and headless commerce. For admin tokens (OCAPI, Admin APIs), use b2c auth token – see b2c-config skill.

Tip: If b2c is not installed globally, use npx @salesforce/b2c-cli instead (e.g., npx @salesforce/b2c-cli slas client list).

When to Use

Common scenarios requiring SLAS client management:

• Testing Custom APIs: Create a client with custom scopes (e.g., c_loyalty) to test your Custom API endpoints
• PWA/Headless Development: Configure clients for composable storefronts
• Integration Testing: Create dedicated test clients with specific scope sets

Examples

List SLAS Clients

# list all SLAS clients for a tenant
b2c slas client list --tenant-id abcd_123

# list with JSON output
b2c slas client list --tenant-id abcd_123 --json

Get SLAS Client Details

# get details for a specific SLAS client
b2c slas client get --tenant-id abcd_123 --client-id my-client-id

Create SLAS Client

# create a new SLAS client with default scopes (auto-generates UUID client ID)
b2c slas client create --tenant-id abcd_123 --channels RefArch --default-scopes --redirect-uri http://localhost:3000/callback

# create with a specific client ID and custom scopes
b2c slas client create my-client-id --tenant-id abcd_123 --channels RefArch --scopes sfcc.shopper-products,sfcc.shopper-search --redirect-uri http://localhost:3000/callback

# create a public client
b2c slas client create --tenant-id abcd_123 --channels RefArch --default-scopes --redirect-uri http://localhost:3000/callback --public

# create client without auto-creating tenant (if you manage tenants separately)
b2c slas client create --tenant-id abcd_123 --channels RefArch --default-scopes --redirect-uri http://localhost:3000/callback --no-create-tenant

# output as JSON (useful for capturing the generated secret)
b2c slas client create --tenant-id abcd_123 --channels RefArch --default-scopes --redirect-uri http://localhost:3000/callback --json

Note: By default, the tenant is automatically created if it doesn’t exist.

Warning: Use --scopes (plural) for client scopes, NOT --scope (singular). The --scope flag is a global authentication option and will cause errors if used here.

Create Client for Custom API Testing

When testing a Custom API that requires custom scopes:

# Create a private client with custom scope for testing
# Replace c_my_scope with your API's custom scope from schema.yaml
b2c slas client create \
  --tenant-id zzpq_013 \
  --channels RefArch \
  --default-scopes \
  --scopes "c_my_scope" \
  --redirect-uri http://localhost:3000/callback \
  --json

# Output includes client_id and client_secret - save these for token requests

Important: The custom scope in your SLAS client must match the scope defined in your Custom API’s schema.yaml security section.

Get a Token for Testing

After creating a SLAS client, obtain a token for API testing:

# Set credentials from client creation output
# Find your shortcode in Business Manager: Administration > Site Development > Salesforce Commerce API Settings
SHORTCODE="kv7kzm78"  # Example shortcode - yours will be different
ORG="f_ecom_zzpq_013"
CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
SITE="RefArch"

# Get access token
curl -s "https://$SHORTCODE.api.commercecloud.salesforce.com/shopper/auth/v1/organizations/$ORG/oauth2/token" \
  -u "$CLIENT_ID:$CLIENT_SECRET" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials&channel_id=$SITE"

Update SLAS Client

# update an existing SLAS client
b2c slas client update --tenant-id abcd_123 --client-id my-client-id

Delete SLAS Client

# delete a SLAS client
b2c slas client delete --tenant-id abcd_123 --client-id my-client-id

Configuration

The tenant ID can be set via environment variable:

• SFCC_TENANT_ID: SLAS tenant ID (organization ID)
