Without this foundational knowledge, site configuration, data imports, and troubleshooting data issues become time-consuming and inefficient. This course provides a functional, strategic overview of the Salesforce B2C Commerce data model. You will move beyond surface-level configuration to understand the relationships between core objects, enabling you to design efficient data management strategies and troubleshoot complex data issues confidently.
