Introduction to SFRA: The Backbone of Salesforce Commerce Cloud

 

The Storefront Reference Architecture (SFRA) is a modern framework designed to streamline and enhance the development process within Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC). Built for flexibility and speed, SFRA empowers businesses to create scalable, responsive, and engaging storefronts.

 

As a Salesforce Consulting Partner, Perigeon specializes in implementing and optimizing SFRA to help businesses achieve faster time-to-market and exceptional customer experiences.
