- Historical Orders: Choosing this option grants you access to historical order data within the integration app. You can view and analyze past orders received on your selling platform, allowing for detailed order tracking, performance analysis, and data-driven decision-making. For example if you installed the “Zoho Inventory Integration app” on 1st January 2023 but you had your online store since 2020, you can use this feature to fetch past orders i.e., from 2020 to 2022.
