Auto Merge Orders Auto Merge Orders Auto Merge Orders works with Shopify Flow in two ways:
The app doesn’t add a Flow action, so a workflow can’t start a merge. To merge orders without clicking, use automation.
The app adds a Merged order created trigger to Shopify Flow. It runs every time the app creates a merged order in Shopify, for manual and automatic merges.
The app only sends the trigger while at least one turned-on workflow uses it. Merges made while no workflow uses it don’t run the workflow later.
| Data | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Order | The merged order. Use it like the order in Shopify’s own order triggers: line items, customer, address, tags, and more. |
| Merge details > Original orders | The orders that went into the merge. Each one has its ID and its name, for example #1001. |
| Merge details > Automatic merge | true when automation created the merge, false when it was a manual merge. |
For the original orders, the trigger includes only the ID and name.
The trigger runs right after the merged order is created in Shopify. At that moment, the app may still be archiving, canceling, fulfilling, or tagging the original orders. Don’t build a workflow that expects the original orders to already be archived or tagged.
You can add your own tags to every merged order and to the original orders in the merge settings. Tags on the merged order are added when the order is created, so they’re already there when the Merged order created trigger runs. Use them in Flow conditions or to filter orders in Shopify admin.
In Settings > Automation, the Skip orders with tags setting lists tags that keep an order out of automatic merges. Orders with any of these tags aren’t included in automatic merged orders.
For example, a Flow workflow can tag pre-orders when they’re placed, and the app will leave those orders alone when it merges automatically.
When skip tags are set, a new order must be at least 10 minutes old before the app can merge it automatically. This gives your workflows time to add their tags first. Skip tags only apply to automatic merges. You can still merge tagged orders by hand.
