The Merge Orders extension allows you to combine multiple customer orders so you can process and ship them as one.
<h3>Why merge orders?</h3>
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:
<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>
Start by clicking the Merge Order button

The Clone Orders extension adds functionality for duplicating orders to streamline the process of adding similar orders quickly.
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
Having the power to duplicate orders lets you to build efficient processes and handle customer requests more quickly. This includes scenarios such as:
<ul>
<li>Handling exchanges for customers: Refund the returned items on the original order, clone to a new empty order, and add the exchanged item. You can then follow your usual order fulfillment process with the new order and your reporting will still be accurate.</li>
<li>Manually inserting the same (or a similar) order for multiple customers: Create it once, then clone as many times as needed, just updating the customer details as required.</li>
<li>Receiving repeat purchase orders from existing customers: Duplicate their last order and update as required to speed up an otherwise slow and tedious process.</li>
</ul>
