Demandware was a cloud-based e-commerce platform founded in 2004 by Stephan Schambach and Wayne Whitcomb, headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts. It offered retailers a hosted, software-as-a-service way to build and run online storefronts without managing their own servers, and it went public on the NYSE in 2012.
In 2016, Salesforce acquired Demandware for roughly $2.8 billion and folded its technology into the Salesforce platform, relaunching it as Salesforce Commerce Cloud (later renamed Salesforce B2C Commerce). Many merchants and developers still refer to the platform informally as "Demandware," and the underlying architecture, terminology, and merchant tooling carry over directly from the original product.
Demandware (Salesforce B2C Commerce) stores are typically run by mid-size and enterprise retailers with large, frequently changing catalogs across multiple channels. Keeping product listings, stock levels, and order information accurate across marketplaces, ad platforms, and comparison shopping engines by hand is impractical at that scale.
Feedance connects to your Demandware store so your product data stays consistent everywhere you sell, without your team manually exporting and reformatting files every time something changes.
Feedance connects to your Demandware store using the credentials and permissions your store already supports, establishing a secure, authenticated connection to your storefront. Once connected, Feedance reads your catalog and order data on a schedule and can push updates back, such as inventory availability, without you having to build or maintain any custom integration code.
Setup is handled through Feedance's guided connection flow, so no developer resources are required to get your store connected.
Feedance works with exactly three data entities on any connected platform, including Demandware:
A few things about Demandware/Salesforce B2C Commerce are worth understanding before you connect it to any external tool:
Feedance syncs your Demandware store's product, inventory, and order data on a regular automated schedule, so your feeds reflect recent changes without manual re-exports. Sync frequency can vary based on your plan and store size, and you can also trigger a manual sync at any time if you need your data refreshed immediately after a big catalog update.
Feedance connects directly to your Demandware (Salesforce B2C Commerce) store using the connection credentials you provide during setup. Once authorized, Feedance securely reads your product, inventory, and order data on a regular schedule and can push inventory updates back to your store, all without you needing to write or maintain any custom integration code.
Yes. Demandware was the original name of the platform before Salesforce acquired the company in 2016 for about 2.8 billion dollars and rebranded it as Salesforce Commerce Cloud, later renamed Salesforce B2C Commerce. Many merchants and developers still call it Demandware out of habit, but it is the same underlying platform, and Feedance's connection works the same way regardless of which name your store uses.
Feedance works with three types of data on Demandware: products, inventory, and orders. It reads your product catalog and order information to build and monitor your feeds, and it can read and update inventory levels so your listings reflect accurate stock availability. Feedance does not access customer records, coupons, shipping or tax settings, or any other store data.
Feedance automatically syncs your Demandware product, inventory, and order data on a regular schedule, so changes you make in your store are reflected in your feeds without manual work. If you make a large catalog update and want it reflected right away, you can trigger a manual sync from your Feedance dashboard instead of waiting for the next scheduled run.
No. Feedance is designed to be connected through a guided setup flow using your existing store credentials and access permissions, so most merchants can complete the connection themselves. You may want someone with access to your store's Business Manager on hand to authorize the connection, but no custom development work is required.
