Introduction

This article is going to focus on order channels, but from the perspective of using them to allow your customers to make orders directly in your Traede account through API.

This can be used to allow for automation on the buy-side. This guide will go through what you (brand) need to do in order to set it up. But it will also include links to guides that you can send to your retailer. We have tried to tailor these guides to make it as easy as possible to get started.
