Domain
Domain is where your storefront gets your own address - shop.yourcompany.com or yourbrand.com instead of the default OSOSS address. It is a small page with a large effect on how established your shop looks.

Why your own domain matters
| Aspect | Default address | Your own domain |
|---|---|---|
| Trust | Reads as a hosted shop | Reads as your business |
| Email and marketing | Links look borrowed | Links match your brand |
| Search | Ranking accrues to a shared address | Ranking accrues to you |
| Portability | Tied to the platform | Yours, permanently |
The last row is the one to weigh. Search ranking, backlinks and customer memory attach to whatever address you advertise. Building all of that on a default address and moving later means starting most of it again.
Connect a domain
- Register the domain, or identify the one you already own.
- Decide the exact address customers should use. Pick one and stay with it - advertising two addresses splits your ranking and confuses returning customers.
- Enter it on this page for your store.
- Update the DNS records at whoever manages your domain so the address points at your OSOSS store. This step happens in your domain provider's control panel, not here.
- Wait for DNS to propagate - usually minutes, occasionally hours - then open the address from a device that has never visited your shop.
- Confirm the secure padlock appears before you advertise the address anywhere.
Warning: Do not print the address on packaging, cards or signage until you have loaded it successfully yourself. A printed address that does not resolve is expensive to correct.
Note: DNS changes are made with your domain provider, not in OSOSS. If the address does not resolve after a few hours, the records are the place to look - and your provider's support is the fastest route to fixing them.
Tip: Set up redirects for the addresses you are leaving behind, so old links keep working - see Rewrite URL. Links in old emails, printed material and other people's websites outlive every migration.

Standard list tools
Every list page in OSOSS shares these controls:
- Manage columns - the icon at the right edge of the header row: search columns, tick to show or hide, drag to reorder. Your selection persists for your user.
- Quick search - matches the page's primary field.
- Filter chips + More Filters - the chips are your defaults; More Filters exposes the full set below.
- Save Filter / Saved Filters - name a filter combination and recall it in one click; one can be your default view.
- Reset - clears filters back to defaults.
- Export All - downloads the current filtered rows with exactly the columns you have selected.
- Focus - hides the surrounding chrome for a full-width table.
- Row selection - the header checkbox selects the page or all matching rows, enabling bulk actions.
- Rows per page and page jumper - at the foot of the table.
- Custom fields - anything you define under Settings > Custom Fields appears here as both a column and a filter.
