Introduction

Welcome to the Sales Channel Module Documentation. The Sales Channel module introduces a way to segment orders in Tryton based on their source. Some channel types also have the ability to export stock and catalog information in addition to being able to import orders from external channels.

The core module introduces minimal functionalities required for orders to be taken manually from Tryton Sales module for orders placed on offline channels like emails, phones or by your own sales teams.

The sale channel module also provides a way to set optimal defaults for creating orders from different channels. Examples of sale channels are

• Your web store
• Showroom 1
• Showroom 2
• Tradeshow 1

If you have different warehouse, pricelists, payment terms or invoicing methods that change with the channel, you could use this module to make manage all of these easily.

In addition, the sale channel module is also used by other Tryton modules that integrate with external channels like eCommerce systems (shopify, magento) and marketplaces (amazon, ebay).

In this module, we will learn about creating new sales channel and adding records to them.

This documentation assumes that you have the module installed and working in your Tryton database.
