One channel for every brand you run.
A shop, a clinic, a school, a podcast. A channel is the brand customers know. It has its own address, logo and customers, and it starts empty until you install the apps it needs.
- Free address straight away
- Or bring your own domain
- Tabs appear as you add apps
Your brand, as its own workspace
A business can run several brands. Each brand becomes a channel with its own name, logo, icon, description and address. Customers, orders and bookings belong to the channel they came through.
A new channel has a few modules that are always there: Home, IAM and Admin, Users, Business and Apps. Everything else arrives with the apps you install. Install the Online Store and the catalogue and sales tabs appear. Install Website & App and you get content, pages and a mobile app section.
That keeps each channel as small as the brand behind it. A podcast does not need payroll, and it will not see payroll unless you add it.
Creating a channel
Three steps from the Channels screen of any business.
Channel details
Name it the way customers know it. Pick a category, add a 512 × 512 logo and an icon for the browser tab.
Domain
Take a free address that works in seconds, or enter your own domain. We show the DNS records once the channel exists.
Review
Check the channel, category, address and business, then choose Create channel.
Pick apps
You land in the App store with a prompt to choose apps for day one. You can also skip for now.
Connect your domain
Point your domain at the channel with one CNAME record. The security certificate is issued automatically.
Where you will find it

Why brands are channels, not separate accounts
A separate account per brand
- Another login and another bill each time
- Team members added again and again
- No way to see brands side by side
Channels under one business
- One business bill covering every channel
- Invite someone once, then give them the channels they need
- Switch brands from the header
Channels: common questions
How is a channel different from a business?
Does a channel cost anything?
Can I use my own domain?
Can I rename a channel?
