Benefit: Up to once per round, you may spend one use of your Channel Divinity class feature as a free action after you have successfully hit an enemy creature. By doing so, your attack inflicts your Channel Divinty damage, either as Positive (energy, uncommon) or Negative (energy, uncommon) damage (your choice), in addition to the damage your attack would normally deal.

This additional damage is considered bonus damage and is not multiplied on a critical hit. Channel Smite may never be used more than once per round, even with the use of action pints.

If your attacks are capable of hitting multiple targets, Channel Smite's additional damage is only applied to your primary target, or if there isn't a primary target, a single target you choose from among those that were hit.
