When choosing between a content slot and a Page Designer component, an important factor to consider is localization capabilities. Only Page Designer components can be localized for different languages. This feature is crucial for merchants who need to manage site content in multiple languages from the Business Manager, enabling them to modify content per locale without developer intervention. Content slots, while flexible for many uses, do not support localization directly, making Page Designer components the preferable choice for multinational and multilingual sites. This distinction is critical in enabling merchants to manage localized content effectively within Salesforce Commerce Cloud.
