Sales channels are used to track the system or marketplace where an order was placed, or customer acquired. You can add a custom sales channel to track orders that are added manually, imported, or created through the Maropost Commerce API.
To add a custom sales channel:
-
In your Maropost Commerce control panel navigate to Settings & tools > All settings & tools.
-
In the Sales Orders & Invoices section click on Sales Channels.
Your sales channels will display with visible/hidden statuses for customers and sales orders. When these are visible you can select them when creating an order or customer.
-
Click the Add new button.
-
Enter the Name of your sales channel, and select the Visible in Customers and Visible in Orders checkboxes.
-
Select the Auto save changes to order total on status change box if you do not want warnings when order totals change.
-
Click the Save & Close button.
Your sales channel is now created, and can be assigned to sales orders and customers.
