# Assigning ThemeWare®

In this article you will learn how to assign ThemeWare®. This means how you make sure that ThemeWare® is represented in your storefront.

First of all, it is important to understand that the basis for delivering a theme is always a Sales Channel. This Sales Channel must be of the type "Storefront" ![](/files/kmPOagEbyoEcaYYuBi00).

If you create a Sales Channel, you can select different types. And "Storefront" would then be the type that is necessary for the theme to be "delivered".

Tip: You do not need to create a Sales Channel of the type "Storefront" ![](/files/kmPOagEbyoEcaYYuBi00) if you already have a corresponding Sales Channel.

With the default installation, Shopware usually creates a suitable Sales Channel that is titled with the shop name selected during the installation.
{% endhint %}

## Assigning ThemeWare®

1. Open the administration of your shop
2. Switch via the main navigation to the sales channel of your storefront ![](/files/kmPOagEbyoEcaYYuBi00) in the section "**Sales Channels**" (1)
