What is the difference in Channel - Online Store VS Buy Button

Under the “Orders” dashboard analytics, the Channel shows 2 differences of “Online Store” and “Buy Button” as different channels.

I like to know the rational details behind how this individual channels origin and representation if anyone can help me on this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there @WinsKNN !

I’d like to share some info with you on the various sales channels available for use for your Shopify store you see reflected here.

We can see here some orders were placed via your Online store channel, whereas at least one of the others came in via a Buy Button.

Did you set up a Buy Button to be added to an external website or blog page that might have led to this order?

Can you tell me a bit more about your business and what you’re selling; is this your first time setting up a store using Shopify or have you been selling a while already?

Hello Don,
Thanks for getting back. We have interstitial page host elsewhere (out of Shopify) and I will have to check if the ‘Buy Button’ comes from there.
For now, is there any ways I can see those orders from channel “Buy Button”, to see their origin referral url or origin traffic source?

We have been selling for first two months.

Hi again @WinsKNN !

Thanks for getting back to me here.

You can click in to view a given order in the Orders menu in the admin, and any available conversion info will be shown on the right of this page like so:

The information available here can differ and may be limited for channels such as the Buy Button, but you can click on that link to view all available info on this order.

You mentioned you’re in your first couple of months here, was this an existing business, or have you just started selling online?
