Installation

Install from the Visual Studio Marketplace

Install Salesforce B2C Commerce from the Visual Studio Marketplace, search for Salesforce B2C Commerce in the VS Code Extensions view, or run:

code --install-extension Salesforce.b2c-vs-extension

Reload the window when prompted. The extension's developer, operations, API, and sandbox views appear in the activity bar.

Install from a VSIX

GitHub Releases also provides a pre-built .vsix for offline installation and compatible editors that cannot install directly from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

Install it

Once you've got the file, install it from the command line or from the Extensions view in VS Code.

VS Code

code --install-extension b2c-vs-extension-X.Y.Z.vsix

Cursor

cursor --install-extension b2c-vs-extension-X.Y.Z.vsix

Extensions view

1. Open the Extensions view (Cmd+Shift+X / Ctrl+Shift+X)
2. Click the "..." menu in the view header
3. Choose "Install from VSIX..."
4. Pick the file you just downloaded

Before you start

A few things to have ready:

• VS Code 1.105 or newer (Cursor and VSCodium work too when installed from the .vsix).
• Access to a B2C Commerce instance for remote workflows.
• The B2C CLI is optional. Install it when you want to run the same operations from the terminal or CI. See the CLI Installation guide for installation options.

Connect to your sandbox

The extension uses the same connection your CLI already uses, so most of the time there's nothing more to set up. Different features need different credentials though — see Connecting to your sandbox for what each one needs and a copy-paste example.

New here? The Authentication Setup guide walks through getting your credentials in the first place.
