#### <span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102);">**Overview**</span>

#### <span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102);">**What You Can Do With Channels API**</span>

- **Create New Stores**

Stores are used to group different sales channels for different use cases. For example, you can use Channels to manage your e-commerce operations for multiple brands that are selling on multiple sales channels by taking advantage of our store functions capabilities. You can find more information about what you can do with Stores **[here](https://channels-documentation.despatchcloud.app/books/stores-707/page/about-stores)** and how to integrate our API solutions into your system [**here**](https://api.heyneuro.io).

- **Integrate With Different Sales Channels**

You can set up different Post requests for each of the sales channels you're interested in using. This allows you to rapidly integrate your customers through the information you receive from them. This can be useful if you're using only a few sales channels, but it would take a lot of resources to set up separate API calls for multiple channels. Each sales channel has a different Post call, which you can find on our API documentation page [**here**](https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/16240950/2sA2xe5uHy#intro).

- **Synchronize Product Stock Levels Across All Sales Channels**

You can sync product stock levels to your sales channels. This allows you to synchronize all stock data for your products across all sales platforms you're using and removes the risk of over-selling. If you're using API calls to setup sales channels, you can edit the request you're sending to enable "Stock Management", "Download Products", "Add To Main Products" and "Auto Sync Stock". Alternatively, you can customise input to include the aforementioned settings if you're using hosted pages. You can find out more about how to do that **[here](https://channels-documentation.despatchcloud.app/books/user-menu/page/hosted-pages).**

- **You can create fulfilment data**

You can use Channel API to create fulfilment data through an API call. After creating the fulfilment data, we'll sync it with the sales channels you have integrated into your system. You can find more information about creating fulfilment through API [**here**](https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/16240950/2sA2xe5uHy#603ed5c5-b542-4579-9843-c983156debd0).

- **Add Plugins or Webhooks**

You can add plugins and webhooks as needed to each of your customers' stores using an API call. Each plugin utilizes a different Post request, which you can find [**here**](https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/16240950/2sA2xe5uHy#bab7762f-4c0e-4437-b59b-2132c4b04778).

- **Create Invoices**

Using an API call, you can also use Channels API's capabilities to automate your invoice creation process. This allows you to speed up your operations and focus on what really matters. You can find more information about creating invoices through our API services [**here**](https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/16240950/2sA2xe5uHy#db86512b-e11b-4602-9980-fc68991767d0).
