It is not a requirement to set this, in which case all settings and configurations will be as per Fulfillment Center defaults. If you have set up a "main store" it may have different pricing to the Fulfillment Center's default configuration, and thus orders placed through Business Hub will not match your main store.
Click Select Store to set an affiliate web store as the default store for all Business Hub orders.
