Image Storage Locations in B2C Commerce

B2C Commerce stores images in three static content locations, depending on image type.

The static content location depends on the image type:

  • Catalog
  • Non-catalog
  • Content library

Which Salesforce Commerce Product Do I Have?

In B2C Commerce, each catalog has one image location. The location is either:

  • Internal: Stores the image files with the catalog.
  • External: Stores the image files on another host.

A new catalog has an internal image location with these default settings:

  • Base path: /
  • View types: large, medium, small, and swatch
  • Alt text and title: ${productname}, which inserts the product name
  • No catalog-level variation attribute

Each location has its own directory and replication task. After you assign internal images, replicate the catalog static content: Replication Tasks > Sites > Catalogs > (Your Catalog).

An external image is not a file in that directory, so do not replicate image files for an external location.

Image Type Examples Location Subfolder Structure Staging/ Replication
Catalog product, category, option, and recommendation images

Within the catalog's own static content directory:

sites/Sites-Site/(Version Directory(0|1))/units/ (Your Catalog)/static/default/
 Arbitrary Can be staged using the Replication Task "Replication Tasks > Sites > Catalogs > (Your Catalog)".
Non-catalog custom object, slot (type HTML), promotion, and store images

Within the organization ("Sites") static content directory:

sites/Sites-Site/(Version Directory(0|1))/units/Sites/static/default/
 Arbitrary Can be staged using the Replication Task "Replication Tasks > Sites > Static Content".
