As you say, the software is downloaded from our server, for several reasons:

  • Easier for us to push out bug fixes to all users
  • Easier for us to provide customizations for particular users, since we are able to identify the user who is asking for the software (e.g., someone wants custom fields in their product table)
  • We can track the usage patterns of our system so that we can focus our optimization efforts on more-commonly-used aspects

As for the URL, we only ask that you provide the URL to the shop so that we can correlate it for data analysis purposes. We do not insist that it should be any particular place in your shop.

Hope this helps.
