Duplicate order flow cards are used in workflows to automate the process of cancelling duplicate orders. This is often necessary for Shopify stores that process a large number of orders, as it can be time-consuming and error-prone to cancel duplicate orders manually. There are several reasons why duplicate orders may occur. For example, a customer may accidentally place multiple orders for the same product, or a technical issue may cause an order to be placed more than once. Regardless of the reason, it is important to cancel these duplicate orders to avoid overcharging the customer or processing unnecessary orders.

Using a duplicate order flow card in a workflow can help automate this process by identifying and canceling duplicate orders automatically. This can save time and ensure that orders are accurately processed, resulting in a smoother and more efficient workflow.
