The Sales Channel is the place where the items in your inventory will be listed. 

• Point of Sale (POS) is used for brick-and-mortar (physical) stores. 

• Online Store will allow your item to be listed directly on your Shopify website. 

Question: Can individual items be listed online or POS only? Is this a default setting only?

• Yes! You can list items to be POS or Online only by selecting or deselecting the appropriate sales channel(s). 

• By default, items can be listed for POS or Online only through the Store Settings section. 

Note: If you are starting out as only brick and mortar but you are planning to sell items online, you can edit this setting in the future.
