Channel types
The Channel types tab: storefront, punchout, marketplace, API and POS — what a channel can be.
Channel types classify your channels: a storefront, a punchout integration, a marketplace, the API, a point of sale.
Where you find it
Commerce Studio › Configuration › Channel types —
/commerce/configuration?tab=types.
What it does
Five types ship built in: Storefront (the default), PunchOut — a buyer arriving out of their own procurement system via OCI or cXML — Marketplace, API and POS. New type adds your own.
Fields and controls

| Code | The stable identifier. |
| Default | The type new channels start as. |
| Description | What the type means. |
| Order | The sort position — despite the label, this column is not about orders. |
What happens when you change it
A new type becomes selectable when a channel is created. Existing channels keep their type.
