# Step 2: Set Up Channels

{% hint style="info" %}
**Quick Answer:** Go to **Settings** → **Channels**, click **+ Create Channel**, enter a name and optional data source, then configure each channel's fulfillment location, forecast resolution, and payment terms in the Existing Channels table.
{% endhint %}

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

## Create a Channel

1. Click on your **avatar** at the top right corner of your dashboard page
2. From your settings click on the **Channels** tab
3. Click the **+ Create channel** button in the top right corner
4. Enter a **Channel Name** and click **Create**

Your new channel will appear in the **Existing channels** table. From here you can configure each channel inline:

## Configure Your Channels

* **Data sources** — Click **+ Attach** on the channel row. A modal will appear — select your integration from the **Pick a data source** dropdown and click **Attach** to link it. This connects your integration's sales data directly into the channel.
* **Fulfilment location** — Select a warehouse from the dropdown. This tells Moselle which warehouse to pull stock from when calculating demand and your replenishment plan.
* **Forecast** — Choose **Daily** or **Monthly** depending on your channel type (Daily for DTC, Monthly for wholesale/B2B).
* **Payment terms** — Set how many days after an invoice your customer is expected to pay (e.g., Net 30).
* **Payout lag** — Enter the number of days between when a sale occurs and when funds land in your account.

{% hint style="info" %}
If your channels require to be split by different sales and locations, please reach out to <support@moselle.io> for this to be customized for you.

## 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.
