Getting started with Intellij SFCC
Yes. Salesforce B2C Commerce, also known as SFCC or Demandware, is now also called Agentforce Commerce for B2C. Intellij SFCC supports its cartridge-based development workflows in VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, including SFRA, ISML, server-side scripts, debugging and deployment. This scope does not imply support for every Agentforce product, B2B Commerce or Salesforce CRM/Apex development.
The VS Code extension includes a local SFCC MCP server for compatible AI clients. It provides project and cartridge context, code intelligence, logs, diagnostics and sandbox tools. Follow the SFCC MCP documentation for client setup and permission controls. This development integration is separate from Salesforce's shopper-facing Agentforce agents; it does not automatically connect a ChatGPT or Claude web account to your sandbox.
Intellij SFCC is available for Visual Studio Code and supported JetBrains IDEs. Choose the version for your editor; each has its own installation guide and license.
Yes. You can use Intellij SFCC with cartridge-based Salesforce B2C Commerce projects, including SFRA and legacy pipelines. It understands cartridge paths, ISML templates, JavaScript controllers and scripts, and project metadata.
Install Intellij SFCC from JetBrains Marketplace, or follow the VS Code installation guide linked on this page. Then open your SFCC project and follow the setup guide to connect your sandbox.
Yes. Intellij SFCC provides ISML language support and Salesforce B2C Commerce API assistance for dw.* modules, together with navigation, completion, inspections, and project-aware tooling.
Yes. Connect your SFCC sandbox to debug server-side JavaScript, upload changed files, and manage code versions from your editor.
Yes. Both the VS Code extension and the JetBrains plugin offer a 7-day trial for new users.
For VS Code, choose a Personal or Organization plan on this page and check out through Intellij SFCC. For JetBrains, buy and manage your license through JetBrains Marketplace.
Each editor needs a separate license. A JetBrains license activates the JetBrains plugin; a VS Code license activates the VS Code extension.
Each developer needs a seat. For VS Code, choose an Organization plan and manage seats in your Intellij SFCC account. For JetBrains, purchase team licenses through JetBrains Marketplace. Contact us for volume pricing or procurement help.
Yes. Manage or cancel your VS Code subscription in your Intellij SFCC account. For JetBrains, manage subscription renewals through your JetBrains account.
No. Intellij SFCC is an independent developer tool from Divetek Inc. It integrates with Salesforce B2C Commerce but is not published, sponsored, or endorsed by Salesforce.
