See every featureCombined Shipping helps merchants group eligible orders from the same customer into one physical shipment. Manage orders directly from the order page, edit package and customs details, get live shipping rates through Ship&co, select a carrier, create shipping labels and invoices, and sync tracking back to every source order.
OrderMerge checks every new order against your open orders by customer, email, phone and shipping address, so guest checkouts with a new email are caught too. Duplicates are tagged and can be put on a fulfillment hold, so they don't sync to your 3PL or shipping app until you review them.
