Hello everyone,

I am building an ecommerce project where I want Next.js for my storefront, PayloadCMS(or any other if more applicable headless CRM) for my user's admin panel and Salesforce platform as my dataset and process handler.

I need help to get oriented on how I can expose Salesforce's data to a headless CMS and how to authenticate the CMS users to read/write only their own data from Salesforce.

Any help and guidance is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

That's not so much a feature of Next.js, but of the service you choose to use (PayloadCMS, Contentful, Storyblok, etc.).

You should see if the CMS has plugins or extensions to connect with Salesforce and how well it can do such integrations, or ultimately, create your own separate API to make both parties interact via webhooks for example, or creating your own plugin for the CMS/Salesforce.
