CLI Reference

The b2c CLI provides commands for managing Salesforce B2C Commerce instances.

Global Flags

These flags are available on all commands that interact with B2C instances:

Instance Flags

Flag	Environment Variable	Description
--server, -s	SFCC_SERVER	B2C instance hostname
--webdav-server	SFCC_WEBDAV_SERVER	Secure WebDAV hostname
--code-version, -v	SFCC_CODE_VERSION	Code version

Authentication Flags

Flag	Environment Variable	Description
--client-id	SFCC_CLIENT_ID	OAuth client ID
--client-secret	SFCC_CLIENT_SECRET	OAuth client secret
--username, -u	SFCC_USERNAME	Username for Basic Auth
--password, -p	SFCC_PASSWORD	Password/access key for Basic Auth

Safety Mode

Safety Mode provides protection against accidental or unwanted destructive operations. This is particularly important when using the CLI in automated environments, CI/CD pipelines, or as a tool for AI agents.

Environment Variable	Values	Description
SFCC_SAFETY_LEVEL	NONE (default)	No restrictions
	NO_DELETE	Block DELETE operations
	NO_UPDATE	Block DELETE and destructive operations (reset, stop, restart)
	READ_ONLY	Block all write operations (GET only)

Example:

# Prevent deletions in CI/CD
export SFCC_SAFETY_LEVEL=NO_DELETE
b2c sandbox create --realm test  # ✅ Allowed
b2c sandbox delete test-id       # ❌ Blocked

# Read-only mode for reporting
export SFCC_SAFETY_LEVEL=READ_ONLY
b2c sandbox list                 # ✅ Allowed
b2c sandbox create --realm test  # ❌ Blocked

Safety Mode operates at the HTTP layer and cannot be bypassed by command-line flags. See the Security Guide for detailed information.

Other Environment Variables

Environment Variable	Description
B2C_SKIP_NEW_VERSION_CHECK	Skip the new version availability check
