New Order Merging Apps vs. Addora: What's the Difference?

Live Shopify demo

Try the Addora demo store. Test it as a customer.

Place a Ship Later order, then try a pre-order. The store uses Shopify test payments, so no real card is charged.

Card 2 shows a declined payment. Card 3 shows a gateway failure.

Shopify's test payment gateway is on. These details create a test order only and never charge a real payment method.

Path 1 · Ship Later

Hold an order, then ship it later.

Try this one first: it's how customers combine orders and pay shipping once.
  1. In the store

    Pick After Hours

    Or any other in-stock vinyl record. Add it to your cart.

  2. At checkout

    Choose Ship Later

    Pay with the approved test card. The order is paid and waits.

  3. In the store

    Open Your held orders

    It's in the store navigation. Sign in with your checkout email.

  4. In the account

    Or use Held Orders

    Choose Customer account in the footer, sign in, then Held Orders. A release in one place shows in both.

What to look for

  • Ship Later as a clear choice next to normal shipping.
  • A paid order that waits instead of shipping.
  • The customer choosing what to ship, and paying shipping once.
A customer selects Ship Later, pays for their products and receives an order confirmation.

Path 2 · Pre-order

Pre-order a record before release.

Use the same test card. You can run both paths with one test customer.
  1. Pick Soft Signal — Pre-order. Check the pre-order label and expected release date.
  2. Check out with the approved test card.
  3. Review the order. See how the pre-order and its date carry through checkout into the order.
See the expected date on a product page, preorder the record, and complete Shopify checkout.

Before you start

A few practical notes.

  • Use an inbox you can open. Shopify may send a sign-in code, and you need the same email throughout.
  • Use test contact details. A valid-format address may be needed, but nothing is shipped.
  • A real test order is created, so the flow continues after checkout.
  • To start over, open a private window or use a different email alias.
  • The wording is an example. Merchants can edit Addora's messages; Shopify's own wording follows Shopify's settings.
