Where to find it: Main → Integrations → Sales Channels — Open in OTO ↗
The order is born on the sales channel. Everything OTO does afterwards depends on getting it out of there cleanly — and on putting the answer back where the customer is looking.

The problem it solves

Almost nobody sells in one place any more. A storefront, then a marketplace, then a second storefront for a different market, then a food-delivery app for the branches. Each one has its own order format, its own status vocabulary, its own idea of what inventory is, and its own admin panel. Run without integration, that becomes a person with eight browser tabs re-typing orders into a shipping system and then typing the tracking number back. It is slow, it is wrong often enough to matter, and it gets worse with every channel you add — which means the operational cost of a new channel is what stops you opening one. The point of this module is that adding a channel should be a configuration step, not a project.

Integration means four streams, not one

“Connected to Shopify” is usually taken to mean orders arrive. That is one of four things that have to move, and the other three are where integrations normally fall short.
The return leg is the one that pays for itselfOrders flowing in saves your operations team time. Status and tracking flowing back saves your support team time, because “where is my order” is answered by the customer looking at the store they bought from.Integrations that only pull orders leave the customer with an order that says Processing for a week, and a support queue that grows in proportion to sales.

What you can connect to

The channel catalog carries more than 40 prebuilt integrations, and they are not all the same kind of thing.
