Create a new Channel

Creating a new channel

You can use channels to segment your orders, e.g. orders from an e-commerce site you own. Learn more about channels and why they are useful, here.

👉 Each Print Trail team has one default channel, the ‘Standard’ channel. The ‘Standard’ channel cannot be deleted and is used for orders where no other channel is selected.

You can create and manage channels in the Print Trail app at: Settings > Channels.

When you add a channel you must give it a name.

Print Trail will automatically assign a “Channel ID” for each channel you create. This short code will be added, along with your team code, as a prefix to your order numbers to create a unique Print Trail order number. This is used internally by Print Trail to track the progress of your order. “Channel ID” cannot be changed.

API credentials

Each channel can also have API credentials enabled.

API credentials are only required if you plan to use a channel to create an integration between your sales/e-commerce software and your Print Trail team.
