The Channels page is where you manage the distinct storefront channels for your workspace—each channel represents a language- or region-specific entry point to your site. From here, you can review existing channels, create new ones, and perform channel-specific actions like editing settings, deleting channels, or configuring redirects and themes.

​
What You Can Do on This Page

  1. Browse Existing Channels – See every channel you’ve configured, including its code, supported languages, and unique ID.
  2. Create New Channels – Click Add Channel to define a fresh channel, mapping it to one or more languages and setting URL prefixes.
  3. Edit Channel Settings – Use the Edit action to adjust core details, publish themes to different environments, or view theme history.
  4. Manage Redirects – From Channel Settings, add 301 redirects to handle URL changes or route legacy links.
  5. Delete Channels – Remove channels you no longer need via the Delete action in the list (this cannot be undone).
