Audit Logs

StoreHippo allows you to maintain a track of changes that were made to your store. It is sometimes necessary to keep track of what changes were made, and by whom. This is known as Audit Logging or an Audit Trail.

You can view the audit logs in the Logs > Audit Logs section in StoreHippo Admin Panel.
