Bulk Customer Merge & Deduplication
The Opportunity
An app that helps merchants find duplicate customer records and merge many at once with flexible rules. It streamlines cleanup for stores with fragmented customer data from multiple channels, imports, and repeated accounts.
"Merchants need an easier way to consolidate duplicate customer profiles, but Shopify’s native merge workflow appears limited and time-consuming when many records need to be combined."
