B2c Slas

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](../b2c-config/SKILL.md).

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

Configuration

Values like tenantId, shortCode, slasClientId, and slasClientSecret resolve from dw.json / SFCC_* env vars / the active instance / configuration plugins. Examples below show minimal usage; add flags only to override configured values — passing these as flags is usually unnecessary. If a required value is missing, the CLI emits an actionable error pointing at the flag, env var, and config key.

Run b2c setup inspect to see the resolved configuration and which source provided each value (--json for scripting, --unmask to reveal secrets). For precedence rules and troubleshooting, see the b2c-cli:b2c-config skill.

Relevant overrides:

• --tenant-id / SFCC_TENANT_ID / tenantId
• --short-code / SFCC_SHORTCODE / shortCode
• --slas-client-id / SFCC_SLAS_CLIENT_ID / slasClientId
• --slas-client-secret / SFCC_SLAS_CLIENT_SECRET / slasClientSecret

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 the configured tenant
b2c slas client list

# JSON output
b2c slas client list --json

# target a different tenant than the active config
b2c slas client list --tenant-id abcd_123

Get SLAS Client Details

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

Create SLAS Client

# create a new SLAS client with default scopes (auto-generates UUID client ID)
b2c slas client create --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 --channels RefArch --scopes sfcc.shopper-products,sfcc.shopper-search --redirect-uri http://localhost:3000/callback

# create a public client
b2c slas client create --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 --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 --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 --auth-scope (singular). The --auth-scope flag is a global authentication option for OAuth scopes.

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 \
  --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 Shopper Token

Use b2c slas token to obtain a shopper access token for API testing. The --site-id is specific to the request and must be provided per call.

# Guest token with auto-discovery (finds first public SLAS client)
b2c slas token --site-id RefArch

# Registered customer token
b2c slas token --site-id RefArch --shopper-login user@example.com --shopper-password secret

# JSON output (includes refresh token, expiry, usid, etc.)
b2c slas token --site-id RefArch --json

# Use token in a subsequent API call
TOKEN=$(b2c slas token --site-id RefArch)
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "https://$SHORTCODE.api.commercecloud.salesforce.com/..."

# Override the SLAS client explicitly (e.g., targeting a private client for client_credentials flow)
b2c slas token --site-id RefArch --slas-client-id my-client --slas-client-secret sk_xxx

Update SLAS Client

# update the display name
b2c slas client update my-client-id --name "New Name"

# rotate the client secret
b2c slas client update my-client-id --secret new-secret-value

# add scopes (appends to existing by default)
b2c slas client update my-client-id --scopes sfcc.shopper-baskets

# replace scopes instead of appending
b2c slas client update my-client-id --scopes sfcc.shopper-baskets --replace

# replace channels
b2c slas client update my-client-id --channels RefArch,SiteGenesis --replace

Delete SLAS Client

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