5. Optimize Data Storage
This feature is only available for merchants using iOS v1.49.0 or above. The Andriod version is currently not supported.
If you have a large transaction data volume in your device, you can enable the "Optimize Data Storage" feature to automatically clean up old data and sustain optimal storage space for the performance of the app system.

*Note: The cleared data can still be accessed when your device is connected to the internet, while it cannot be accessed offline.
2. Notes
- For merchants who have more than one store, when you reset all data or order and transaction data, the system will clean the data in all your stores first, and resync the data of the store you're currently logged into. It will resync the data of your other store once you log into the store account.
- For example, you have Store A and Store B and are currently logged into Store A. When you reset all data, the system will only resync Store A data. The system will resync Store B data when you switch from Store A to Store B.
- For example, you have Store A and Store B and are currently logged into Store A. When you reset all data, the system will only resync Store A data. The system will resync Store B data when you switch from Store A to Store B.
- If your store data is not synced to the latest when resetting, the system will terminate the process to prevent data loss. Please sync your data to the latest before resetting.
- Please maintain a stable network connection, or the reset might fail.
