<p>The Merge Orders extension allows you to combine multiple customer orders so you can process and ship them as one.</p>
<h3>Why merge orders?</h3>
<p>The most common scenario for needing to merge orders is when you receive multiple orders for the same customer. Merging and shipping them as one package provides multiple benefits, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reducing costs on shipping and packaging—better for you, and better for the planet!</li>
<li>Streamlining order processing and putting the tracking in one place.</li>
<li>Improving customer experience—they only have to track one delivery, and they receive everything they ordered at the same time.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How to merge:</h3>
<p>Start by clicking the Merge Order button</p>

<p>The power to merge orders is a tool for improving your administrative workflow. Streamline order processing, save on shipping and packaging, reduce your environmental impact, and, most importantly, make your customers happy!</p>
