Create a channel

Add a new channel to the platform. A channel represents a separate storefront or sales context (e.g. a B2B portal, a regional shop).

Mutation​

mutation CreateChannel($input: ChannelCreateInput!) {
  channelCreate(input: $input) {
    channelId
    name
    catalogRootId
    anonymousUserId
  }
}

Variables​

{
  "input": {
    "name": "Dealer Portal DE",
    "descriptions": [
      { "language": "EN", "value": "German dealer portal" },
      { "language": "NL", "value": "Duits dealerportaal" }
    ],
    "catalogRootId": 2050,
    "anonymousUserId": 14551
  }
}

Response​

{
  "data": {
    "channelCreate": {
      "channelId": 72,
      "name": "Dealer Portal DE",
      "catalogRootId": 2050,
      "anonymousUserId": 14551
    }
  }
}

How it works​

Only the name field is required. Use catalogRootId to control which part of the category tree is visible on the channel. The anonymousUserId sets the default user context for unauthenticated visitors, controlling which prices and product visibility rules apply. Use descriptions to provide localized display names.
