2. Navigate to Settings > Domains. Your current store URL will be displayed there.
   

   

Why can't I see all my orders in Cropster?

We only synchronize orders from the last 30 days when you first connect. After that, if you stop syncing for more than 60 days, any orders older than that will not appear.
