What is the Channel app used for?

  • Channel app allows you to manage your distribution channels consisting of your partners.
  • In this app:
    • You are the seller.
    • Your partner is the buyer.
 

Channel app allows you to view a list of channels (partners) that are reselling your products. For each channel, the app will show:

  • Unbilled amount: the usage amount for the current bill period = the amount that has not been billed/invoiced yet.
