Automate with Shopify Flow

Use the Duplicate order detected trigger and the Release OrderMerge hold action to route duplicates your way.

1The trigger

In Shopify Flow, start a workflow with the OrderMerge trigger Duplicate order detected. It runs once per new duplicate group, on the newest order, and gives you the matched order IDs, the match reasons, the confidence (high, medium or low) and the group ID.

2Ideas

Send a Slack message or email to your ops team. Add a tag or an order note your 3PL reads. Route low-confidence groups to a person and high-confidence ones to a faster path.

3The action

Release OrderMerge hold releases the hold on a group. Pass it the group ID from the trigger, for example after a wait step or a condition you trust.

Try it on your store. The Free plan starts catching duplicates right away.
