# Configure store ordering channels

Open **Stores**, choose the store, and go to **Channels → Ordering channels**. The **Extensions** page has two tabs, **Custom slug** and **Widgets**.

## Set the store slug

In **Custom slug**, review the short identifier used in the store's ordering address. Save the change, then open the resulting address to confirm it leads to the right store. Review any links, widgets, or QR codes already shared with the previous address.

## Add an ordering widget

In **Widgets**, choose a **Popup** or **Inline** integration. Popup offers a button with a modal or a chat style. Inline embeds the ordering experience in a part of the external page. Copy the snippets for your choice into the appropriate locations on the external site. Follow the PayPal Express instructions only if you use it.

The store needs a website address to generate the site-specific script. See [Ordering website widgets](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/my-products/ordering-website-2/widget/) for the embedding steps. Verify the widget in a test copy of the external page before publishing it.

## Use cases

Use **Ordering channels** to manage the store address or get widget code. The separate store **Sales channels** page contains instructions for sharing the ordering link on social and business profiles. When available, choose **How to connect** to see a provider's instructions. Adding a link on the other service is a separate step. The store's **Sales channels** menu entry is hidden in white-label mode.

Use [Connect → Sales channels](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/connect/sales-channels/) for integrations managed at the project level.
