Salesforce Basics for StoreConnect Users
Because the StoreConnect® system is built on the Salesforce® platform, its users are going to need to know their way around Salesforce to be successful in using it. Much of our documentation is written with the understanding that you can already perform basic Salesforce functions and be able to navigate your way around.
Salesforce have a very useful learning app called Trailhead. It is basically a place to go to learn about Salesforce features and how to use them. As there is so much content in Trailhead and only a small amount of it is relevant to what you need to know to use the StoreConnect system, we have put together this list of resources that we think will help you to grasp the needed skills to be successful in configuring and making the most of your StoreConnect store.
