Both are used to validate your integration with the marketplace.\n\n> ❗ To get your credentials and start the integration, contact [VTEX Support](https://supporticket.vtex.com/support).\n\nAfter requesting the credentials, the seller can proceed with [Defining a sales channel for Posthaus](#defining-a-sales-channel-for-posthaus) and configuring the [Divergence rule](/en/docs/tracks/configuring-price-divergence-rule-posthaus).\n\nDuring the configuration process on the VTEX platform, always have the credentials provided by Posthaus at hand. The [AppKey and AppToken](https://developers.vtex.com/docs/guides/authentication) are essential for the integration.\n\n## Defining a sales channel for Posthaus\n\nOn VTEX, a [sales channel](https://help.vtex.com/en/docs/tutorials/how-trade-policies-work) determines a specific product assortment, pricing, and shipping strategy. This means the settings that apply to your products on Posthaus are defined by the sales channel.\n\nIf you use the same catalog, pricing, and shipping strategy settings in your VTEX store and on Posthaus, you don't need to [create a new sales channel](https://help.vtex.com/en/docs/tutorials/creating-a-trade-policy).\n\nYou'll only need to [configure a specific sales channel for the marketplace](https://help.vtex.com/en/docs/tutorials/creating-a-trade-policy) if you have one of the following goals:\n\n- Offering a different selection of products on Posthaus.\n- Making a different inventory quantity available.\n- Sending different prices to Posthaus.\n- Sending different promotions to Posthaus.\n- Configuring other payment conditions.\n- Defining a different [shipping strategy](https://help.vtex.com/en/docs/tutorials/shipping-strategy).\n\nIf you need an exclusive sales channel for Posthaus, you can [create it directly through the VTEX Admin](https://help.vtex.com/en/docs/tutorials/creating-a-trade-policy), without completing forms or opening tickets. To learn more about costs and conditions, see [Requesting an additional sales channel](https://help.vtex.com/en/docs/tutorials/requesting-an-additional-trade-policy).
