### Channels <a href="#h_5594ae6dbb" id="h_5594ae6dbb"></a>

This section controls the different channels where your claims can come from (for example, your webshop or physical store).

### Flows <a href="#h_036f300e6f" id="h_036f300e6f"></a>

Flows are a sequence of steps that help you gather all the information needed from the customer to process their request (for example, a claim, return, or delivery issue).

You can add or remove steps depending on your needs, such as:

* Find a customer order (if you have an order integration with Claimlane)
* Product search (if you don’t need to verify the customer order, but want to ensure they only select available products)
* Request pictures of the fault
* Ask for a description of what went wrong
* Ask for receipt upload
* Ask for customer information
