A fusionCore portal site is a standard Salesforce Experience Cloud site — there is no custom “portal site” object. fusionCore ships the portal components (profile sections, checkout, payment confirmation, and more), not the site container itself. Every fusionCore portal component declares Experience Cloud page targets, which is why it appears in the Experience Builder component palette and can only be placed inside an Experience Cloud site. Use a Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) template for new sites. Aura templates still work, but the Aura framework is being deprecated, so LWR is the recommended path for any new fusionCore portal.

Once Digital Experiences is enabled, the Enable Digital Experiences checkbox is replaced by this Settings page, which shows your experience domain and management options. The domain you set here forms the base URL for every site you create.

After the site exists, enable the users who will reach it — see Enabling Guest Portal Users and Enabling Authenticated Portal Users — then build out its pages in Creating Portal Site Pages.

Limitations and Common Pitfalls

  • fusionCore portal components render only inside an Experience Cloud site. They target Experience Builder pages only, so you cannot place them on internal Lightning record pages or Lightning app pages. If a component is missing from the palette, confirm you are editing an Experience Cloud site and not an internal page.
  • Use an LWR template for new sites. Aura templates are supported for legacy sites, but the Aura framework is being deprecated. Starting on Aura now means a migration later.
