# Setting Up Channels

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

**Time required:** 5–10 minutes

## Creating a Channel

1. Click your **avatar** at the top right corner of the dashboard.
2. Go to **Settings** → **Channels**.
3. Click the **"+ Create Channel"** button — a pop-up will appear.
4. Enter a **Channel Name**.
5. Optionally, select a **Data Source** from the dropdown to link it to an integration you've already connected.
   * If you skip this, an empty channel will be created and you can attach a data source later.
6. Click **Create** to save.

***

## Managing Existing Channels

Once channels are created, they appear in the **Existing Channels** table. Each row shows the channel's configuration and lets you edit settings inline.

### Data Source

If you didn't attach a data source when creating the channel, you'll see a **+ Attach** button in this column. Click it to select and link an integration to this channel at any time.

### Fulfillment Location

Select a warehouse location from the dropdown. This warehouse acts as the **inventory node** for the channel — Moselle pulls stock from this location when calculating the demand and production plan.

{% hint style="info" %}
You'll need at least one warehouse set up before you can assign a fulfillment location. See [Setting Up Inventory](https://github.com/Moselle-io/moselle-docs/blob/master/getting-started/onboarding/setting-up-inventory.md) if you haven't done this yet.

### Forecast Resolution

Choose how demand is forecasted for this channel:

| Resolution  | Best For                                                                         |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Daily**   | High-volume channels like DTC (direct-to-consumer) where order frequency is high |
| **Monthly** | B2B channels like wholesale or retail accounts where orders are less frequent    |

### Payment Terms

Select how many days after an invoice is issued your customer is expected to pay, using the dropdown (e.g., **Net 30**, **Net 45**). For example, if Sephora buys from you today but pays invoices 30 days later, set this to Net 30.

### Payout Lag

Enter the number of days between when a sale occurs and when the platform deposits the funds into your bank account. For example, if Shopify sales happen today but funds arrive at the end of the week, enter **7**.

### Last Synced

Displays the timestamp of the most recent data sync for this channel, so you can confirm your integration is up to date.

## Archiving a Channel

Click the **three-dot menu (⋯)** at the end of the channel row and select **Archive** to remove the channel from your active list.
