The environment name for the custom entity param must be configured on the client side (CAE, Studio, etc.). Global configuration example: commerce.hub.data.customEntityParams.environment=preview|live

You may also configure multiple storefront URLs for different sites/environments via the commerce settings struct: commerce (Struct) customEntityParams (Struct) environment=siteus (String) Keep the lookup keys simple. Use lowercase with no special characters.

Be aware that you need to configure the environment values on the client site first, otherwise lookups can't work and will fail. There is no default fallback as this could lead to even more confusion.
