# Creating Channels
# Channel Setup for Non-Catalyst Frameworks

B2B Edition's Buyer Portal can be used with headless storefronts created using a third-party solution, such as WordPress or Next.js. This allows you to extend B2B Edition's front-end buyer tools to multiple headless storefronts, while managing your back-end processes from the BigCommerce control panel.

<Callout type="info">
Use the following instructions to enable B2B Edition on non-Catalyst headless frameworks. See [B2B Edition](https://www.catalyst.dev/docs/b2b) for Catalyst-specific considerations.
