Channels Property

Is there any way to find out more info via API about what these channel IDs refer to? CatalogItem Object - Square API Reference

Like a Channels API or something? Right now we just have the ID of the channel but we would like more info about each channel.

Currently, Square does not provide a Channels API or a direct way to retrieve additional information about a channel using its ID. The channel IDs returned in the CatalogItem object are used to indicate the specific applications or sales channels where the item is displayed for sale. However, the detailed information about these channels is not directly accessible via Square’s APIs.

So what’s the point of the channel IDs property if we only have the ID itself and don’t know which channel is which? @Bryan-Square

At this time the chanels are for Square Online Store usage which is why they’re currently exposed in the API response. We’re constantly working to improve our features based on feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to share your request to the API product team. :slightly_smiling_face:
