# Step 2: Set Up Channels

Channels connect your sales stores (Shopify, Amazon, etc.) to your warehouses. Moselle uses this link to track where inventory is being drawn from and to surface at-risk items accurately.

**Time required:** 5–10 minutes

## Set Up a Channel

1. Click your **avatar** at the top right of the dashboard
2. Go to **Settings** → **Channels**
3. Click **Add Channel**
4. Enter a **Channel Name** and select the connected store you've integrated with Moselle
5. Click **Add**
6. From the dropdown, link a **warehouse** to this channel

{% hint style="info" %}
You'll need a warehouse set up before you can link it here. If you haven't done that yet, continue to [Step 3: Set Up Inventory](/getting-started/fast-tutorial/set-up-inventory.md) and come back to link the warehouse once it's created.
{% endhint %}

## Don't Have Historical Sales Data Yet?

That's fine — channels don't need historical data to work. If your integration is still syncing or you're starting fresh:

* Set up the channel now with the correct store link
* In Step 4, Mo can build your forecast directly from your existing sales spreadsheets instead of relying on synced history

{% hint style="info" %}
Mo can work from the spreadsheets you already have. You don't need to wait for a full data sync to start planning.
{% endhint %}
