Unify Desktop downloads orders from your Online store on the basis of 'Order status', 'Date range' and 'Order number'.  

 If you are unsure, what that status is, ask yourself below questions: 

1. Where are the orders that are ready for me to process in my online store?
2. What is the status of those orders?
3. Are those orders already paid for?
4. Are they ready to be shipped?
5. Are they already shipped because I have an off-site shipping department that ships my orders when they ready?

The answers will govern, what status is chosen, either the order paid or shipped when it is downloaded into Unify Desktop.
