1Start from the order

Open either order. The OrderMerge block shows the group, its status, the matched order with its payment status and total, and the reason.

The OrderMerge block on an order: on hold, group R8FKW2, Release hold and Mark not a duplicate buttons, matched order #1051, same address, 4 min apart

2Pick what happened

Release hold: it's a real second order, ship it. Mark not a duplicate: it was never a duplicate, so the hold, tags and note are removed and these orders aren't grouped again. Shipped together: both went out in one box, and the saving is counted.

Group actions: Print combined packing slip, Download PDF, Shipped together, Release hold, Mark not a duplicate

3Refund the extra shipping

When both orders paid for shipping and you ship them together, Refund shipping on the newer order returns that shipping charge through Shopify, after you confirm the amount.

Orders #1051 and #1052 in a group, same address, 4 min apart, with Refund shipping on #1052 for $8.95

4Every change is logged

The group page keeps a history of holds, notes, tags, refunds and who did what, so the next person on the queue knows what was decided.
