Likely accidental orders and promo abuse

How OrderMerge labels an identical double checkout, and flags a second use of a limit-one code or product.

1Likely accidental

Two orders with exactly the same products and quantities, placed within the window you set (10 minutes by default), are labeled likely accidental. OrderMerge suggests cancelling and refunding the newer one in Shopify (More actions, Cancel order) instead of shipping both. It never cancels orders itself.

This label is on every plan.

2Promo abuse (Protect)

Pick your limit-one discount codes and products in Settings. When an order uses one of them at the same address or phone as an earlier order in the last 90 days, under a different email, the group gets a Promo abuse badge and the ordermerge:promo-abuse tag, and is held when holds are on.
