# Content Slots in B2C Commerce

You can embed a content slot in any part of your storefront site, to show products, categories, content assets, or static HTML based on a schedule. A content asset can be a flash graphic, product carousel, product search result set, or marketing graphic. Use Business Manager to create and schedule a slot configuration, instead of changing storefront code.

We’ve developed the [B2C Commerce Platform Adoption Playbook: Content Slots](https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/rel1/doc/en-us/static/pdf/Commerce_Cloud_Content_Slots_Platform_Adoption_Playbook.pdf), which walks you through the basics of how to use content slots for promotional and personalized messaging on your site.

If you know where you want to add content in the storefront, use the Storefront toolkit [Content Information Tool](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=cc.b2c_using_the_content_information_tool.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To determine the source of content assets in the B2C Commerce storefront and get a link to edit the content in Business Manager, use the Content Information Tool. The Content Information Tool doesn't support Page Designer pages.") to identify content slots in the storefront. If you select the content information tool in the toolkit and hover over the area where you want to add content, if there’s a content slot you see an `Edit Content` link. Clicking the link opens the correct content slot.

You create a slot configuration that specifies the content to show, the schedule when it appears, and any rules for choosing what content appears in the content slot.

## Slotting Rules

Salesforce B2C Commerce slotting rules specify what content appears at any given time within a slot type. Use promotion or customer group rules to determine the content shown in the slot.

For a category slot: "Boat Shoes: They Look Good All Four Seasons", you might want to show different products based on the season for a specific (men's) category. The default content is to show the top selling product (boat shoes). You might want to create the following slot configurations for the top slot on the category landing page.

| Default Teasers | 10/1/2013 | 5/1/2014 | Product: S177809 | slot/render\_productl.isml |
| Summer Teasers | 6/1/2014 | 8/30/2014 | Product: S1996574, S2049054, S2126724 | slot/render\_product.isml |

Note Content slots are site-specific. B2C Commerce supports _time_ and _customer group_ rules.
