how to know the date on when you received your first order in Shopify? Can I check it on several items?

To find the date of your first order in Shopify, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Shopify Admin:

   • Go to your Shopify admin dashboard.

2. Navigate to Orders:

   • From the admin dashboard, click on "Orders" in the left-hand menu.

3. Sort Orders by Date:

   • By default, orders are sorted by the date they were placed, with the most recent orders shown first.
   • To find your first order, scroll to the bottom of the list. If you have a large number of orders, you might need to go to the last page of your orders list.

4. Check the Order Details:

   • Click on the earliest order to view its details. The order details page will show the date and time when the order was placed.

For checking the first order of several specific items:

1. Filter Orders by Product:

   • Go to the Orders page.
   • Use the search bar or filters to search for the specific product.
   • Enter the product name or SKU in the search bar, or use the filters to narrow down the list of orders.

2. Sort and Check:

   • After filtering the orders by the specific product, sort them by date if necessary and check the earliest order as explained above.

For a more detailed analysis or if you have a large number of orders, consider exporting your order data to a CSV file:

1. Export Orders:

   • In the Orders page, click on "Export" in the top right corner.
   • Choose the export settings that fit your needs (e.g., all orders, orders by date range, etc.).
   • Click "Export orders" to download the CSV file.

2. Analyze the CSV File:

   • Open the CSV file in a spreadsheet program (like Excel or Google Sheets).
   • Use the data sorting and filtering tools to find the first order dates for specific items.

By using these methods, you can identify the date of your first order and the first order dates for specific items.

Hey, @Nightingale1.

Thanks for posting this question.

If you're looking to find the date of your first received order, then you'll need to look through the Orders. If you're unable to check the first order using the paginations on Orders page, then you can also try applying some filters or try generating a sales report using Shopify Analytics. That said, should you require further assistance with determining the date of your first order, then we'd be happy to continue assisting you through live chats via the Shopify Help Center.

If you have any other questions on this topic, then don't hesitate to let us know.
