Sales Channels
This section of the manual explains how you can use PlentyONE to offer your products on a variety of sales channels. In this context the term “sales channel” refers to any platform on which you can sell your products, such as online marketplaces, price search engines and your own PlentyONE Shop. You can find a manual page for each sales channel in this section that guides you through the setup process for that sales channel.

The Channel Control Centre
A selection of the sales channels available in PlentyONE already support the newly added Channel Control Centre. However, as the Channel Control Centre is still in active development, currently only new systems have access to it. This means that the setup method for some sales channels changes depending on when you created your system.
