Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureOrder Merging groups orders by your conditions and merges them into one shipment. Choose one or more conditions: same customer, same shipping address, paid orders only, or order tags. Set your merge rules once, then auto merge orders on a schedule or manually merge orders on demand. Merge to original or create a new consolidated order. Merged orders reconcile inventory and refund extra shipping costs.
SafeMerge helps merchants combine repeat orders from the same customer into one shipment without replacing or financially merging the original orders. Review consolidation candidates with PASS, WARN, or BLOCK safety checks, refund excess shipping, fulfill grouped orders with shared tracking, and automate eligible consolidations on supported plans.
