Free Practice Questions for Salesforce B2C-Solution-Architect Exam

A. SMS opt-in will sync with Service Cloud when contact ID is the subscriber key in Marketing Cloud. This can help enable consent and profile management across the clouds by allowing customers to opt-in or opt-out of SMS messages and reflecting their preferences in both Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud. This can also help comply with industry regulations and best practices for SMS marketing. C. Profile changes in B2C Commerce will sync to Service Cloud when person accounts are used. This can help enable consent and profile management across the clouds by allowing customers to update their profile information in B2C Commerce and syncing their changes to Service Cloud. This can also help maintain consistent and accurate customer data across different systems and platforms. References:

This answer is correct because Salesforce Connect can be used to display external data in Salesforce without copying or storing it. Salesforce Connect uses external objects to access data from an external system via an adapter. This way, the order data from the ERP system can be displayed in Service Cloud as read-only records without consuming additional storage space.

A real-time inventory service is a service that allows accessing and displaying the current inventory levels of products or SKUs across different locations or sources, such as warehouses or stores. A real-time inventory service can help provide accurate and consistent inventory information to customers and staff, avoid overselling or underselling products, and optimize order fulfillment and delivery processes. To define an architectural solution that both mitigates the risk of overselling and allows for a positive customer service experience in the event inventory falls short, a Solution Architect should include the following ways:

Call real-time inventory services directly throughout the product grid and checkout experience to ensure accurate inventory count for every available SKU is displayed to the shopper. By calling real-time inventory services directly throughout the product grid and checkout experience, the Solution Architect can provide up-to-date and reliable inventory information to shoppers on every page where they can view or select products or SKUs. This can help prevent shoppers from adding out-of-stock items to their cart or placing orders that cannot be fulfilled.

Use Order Management capabilities to support the redirection of orders placed to warehouses or stores showing inventory for all, or most, of the SKU-level products in the order. By using Order Management capabilities, such as Salesforce Order Management or B2C Commerce Order Management, the Solution Architect can support the redirection of orders placed to different locations or sources based on their inventory availability and other factors, such as cost, speed, or sustainability. This can help optimize order fulfillment and delivery processes, reduce shipping costs and delays, and increase customer satisfaction.

Call real-time inventory services on product and cart pages to confirm that inventory has not changed. By calling real-time inventory services on product and cart pages, the Solution Architect can confirm that inventory has not changed since the last page load or refresh. This can help detect any discrepancies or conflicts between the displayed inventory information and the actual inventory levels, such as when another shopper has purchased the same item in the meantime. This can help avoid overselling products or disappointing customers with inaccurate inventory information.

Option A is incorrect because using Service Cloud to text all registered customers when any product comes back in stock is not a way to mitigate the risk of overselling or allow for a positive customer service experience in the event inventory falls short. Service Cloud is a product that allows managing customer service interactions across different channels and systems. Service Cloud does not provide any functionality or capability related to real-time inventory services or order management. Option D is incorrect because using both B2C Commerce and Marketing Cloud to offer email notifications for products that are back in stock is not a way to mitigate the risk of overselling

Option A is correct because configuring REST services in B2C Commerce is a necessary step to enable authentication and communication with Marketing Cloud via its API integration and to initiate transactional email delivery using Marketing Cloud’s Transactional Messaging REST API.

Option C is correct because creating an API integration in Marketing Cloud using Installed Packages is a necessary step to provision access to Marketing Cloud APIs by external systems like B2C Commerce and to generate an API key and secret for authentication purposes.

Option D is correct because customizing the B2C Commerce storefront to trigger Marketing Cloud Transactional Messages at strategic points in the customer’s experience is a necessary step to invoke Marketing Cloud’s Transactional Messaging REST API with a payload that informs message contents and recipients.

Option B is incorrect because front-end development capabilities are not required to configure the Marketing Cloud Connector for triggered emails, but rather to customize the B2C Commerce storefront and the email templates in Marketing Cloud.

Option E is incorrect because integrating Marketing Cloud and B2C Commerce to provide Marketing Cloud with B2C Commerce order and customer information on a nightly basis via SFTP is not required to configure the Marketing Cloud Connector for triggered emails, but rather to enable data synchronization and segmentation for marketing campaigns.

Introducing a leads-management process and a web-to-lead form can have implications for consent, preferences, and compliance for converted leads in Marketing Cloud. For example, if a lead opts out of email communication in Sales Cloud, this preference should be reflected in Marketing Cloud as well. Similarly, if a lead is converted to a contact in Sales Cloud, the corresponding subscriber record in Marketing Cloud should be updated with the new ID and status. Leads can also have a detrimental impact on the quality of contact records in Sales Cloud if they are not properly deduplicated, validated, and enriched. For example, if a lead is created with an invalid or duplicate email address, this can affect the deliverability and personalization of email messages in Marketing Cloud. References:

To enable the scenario of sending promotional emails with coupon offers generated in B2C Commerce, the following elements are required:

A B2C Commerce cartridge to call Marketing Cloud APIs, such as the Transactional Messaging API, to trigger the email journey and pass the coupon code as a data attribute.

A Marketing Cloud Installed Package to create an API integration between B2C Commerce and Marketing Cloud and provide authentication credentials and permissions.

A B2C Commerce storefront to generate and manage the coupon codes and redemption logic.

These answers are correct because they are ways that Salesforce CDP can help the organization in this scenario. Salesforce CDP can ingest customer data from each system and use matching rules to find records representing the same person, uniting them under a Unified Individual. This creates a single view of the customer across all systems and channels. Salesforce CDP can also power experiences through other channels like Marketing Cloud Engagement by activating customer segments. This enables personalized and targeted marketing campaigns based on customer data and behavior. References: https://www.salesforce.com/products/customer-data-platform/overview/

A connected B2C Solution approach is an approach that allows integrating B2C Commerce and Service Cloud to provide a seamless and omnichannel experience for customers across different touchpoints. A connected B2C Solution approach can provide various benefits, such as increased customer satisfaction, loyalty, retention, and revenue. To convince the company to shift to a connected B2C Solution approach, a Solution Architect should say the following:

Agents will have easy access to customer data to provide a better service experience when customers call in. By integrating B2C Commerce and Service Cloud using features such as Service Cloud Connector or Salesforce Order Management, agents will be able to access customer and order information from B2C Commerce directly in Service Console without switching between multiple systems. This will enable agents to answer customer questions more quickly and accurately, resolve issues more efficiently, and offer personalized recommendations or solutions.

Option B is incorrect because agents will not have a better interface using Service Cloud and B2C Commerce with Heroku. Heroku is a platform that allows building, running, and scaling custom web applications using various languages and frameworks. Heroku is not directly related to creating a connected B2C Solution approach, although it can be used to extend or customize the functionality of B2C Commerce or Service Cloud. Option C is incorrect because agents cannot utilize SSO to launch an ‘Order on Behalf of’ storefront experience within the B2C Commerce UI. SSO is a feature that allows users to log in to multiple applications or systems with the same credentials. SSO does not enable launching an ‘Order on Behalf of’ storefront experience within the B2C Commerce UI, which is a feature that allows agents to create orders on behalf of customers using the storefront login. To enable this feature, the company needs to use Service Cloud Connector or Salesforce Order Management to integrate B2C Commerce and Service Cloud. Option D is incorrect because agents’ success rates will not be better measured after helping the company define ROI KPIs together. Although this is a possible benefit of shifting to a connected B2C Solution approach, it is not the most convincing or compelling one for the company’s situation. The company’s main pain point is the lack of systems and access to customer and order data, which affects their service quality and customer satisfaction. Therefore, the most convincing argument for shifting to a connected B2C Solution approach is how it can improve the service experience for both agents and customers by providing easy access to customer data.

A is correct because integrating product, order, and customer data feeds into Marketing Cloud Data Extensions is a prerequisite for enabling an Abandoned Cart Journey. Data Extensions are tables that store data in Marketing Cloud and can be used to define audience segments and personalize messages.

D is correct because implementing the Marketing Cloud collect.js through the storefront by using the Connector’s reference implementation is a prerequisite for enabling an Abandoned Cart Journey. The collect.js script tracks customer behavior on the storefront and sends data to Marketing Cloud using the Connector cartridge.

B is incorrect because integrating product, order, and customer data feeds into Service Cloud objects is not needed for enabling an Abandoned Cart Journey. Service Cloud objects are used to store data in Service Cloud and can be used to manage customer service cases and interactions.

C is incorrect because using Mulesoft to bring order and customer data feeds from B2C Commerce to Marketing Cloud is not needed for enabling an Abandoned Cart Journey. Mulesoft is a platform that provides integration solutions for various systems and applications.
