# Configure a distribution channel

> Prepare a Supply business for Darwin, ACP, UCP, or MCP distribution without duplicating its catalog.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Channels">
    Select the Supply business and inspect the requirements for the intended channel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fix canonical data first">
    Complete the business profile and correct listing schema, pricing, availability, assets, URLs, and policy eligibility in Darwin Supply.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete channel-specific checks">
    Configure the required feed, profile, endpoint, checkout, payment, webhook, OAuth, or merchant setup.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit for approval where required">
    ACP and UCP provider approval remains external to Darwin-side readiness.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify production behavior">
    Mark the channel live only after Darwin can verify the production integration and the provider has approved it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

See [Supply platform status](/supply/platform-status) before building against a preview channel.
