Web Services

Salesforce B2C Commerce provides a web services framework that helps you manage calls to web services and analyze service performance. You need custom code to interact with a web service. We recommend that you use secure protocols as web service types, such as HTTPS, SFTP, and SOAP over TLS. A web service can also use a service credential, such as username and password, to perform HTTP basic authentication.
