SFCC V1 Installation Guide

Before You Start

• You must have a storefront with a base cartridge up and running.
• You must know the code version of your cartridge (Business Manager Administration > Site Development > Code Deployment).
• Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to obtain the cartridge files.
• If you are migrating from a different cart platform, see the Re-platforming section.

Upload Cartridge to SFCC DigitalServer

1. Configure

1. Download the cartridge files sent by your Customer Success Manager.

2. Rename the .zip file to bolt-demandware.

3. Unzip the bolt-demandware folder.

4. Run the following:

   npm install json
   json -I -f package.json -e "this.paths.base='<PATH TO APP_STORE_FRONT_BASE>'"
   

5. In the root directory, run the following:

   npm ci
   

6. Navigate to the directory that contains all of your Bolt cartridges.

7. Create a configuration called dw.json and apply the following settings:

   {
   "hostname": "<*.demandware.net (without https/http)>",
   "username": "<username>",
   "password": "<password>",
   "cartridge": ["cartridge A", "cartridge B"], //optional
   "code-version": "<code-version>"
   }
   

2. Validate Configuration Changes

1. Place all Bolt cartridges in your storefront’s cartridge folder.

2. Open your storefront’s package.json file and locate “sites”: { “cartridges”: […] }.

3. Add the following list of cartridges:

    {
         "alias": "bm_bolt",
         "name": "bolt_bm"
       },
       {
         "alias": "int_bolt_sfra",
         "name": "int_bolt_sfra"
       },

       {
         "alias": "int_bolt_extensions",
         "name": "int_bolt_extensions"
       },
   

4. Confirm that Bolt-specific changes from cartridges/int_bolt_sfra/cartridge/client/default/js/main.js have transferred to cartridges/<top-level cartridge of merchant>/cartridge/client/default/js/main.js.

   • cartridges/int_bolt_sfra/cartridge/static/default/js/main.js
