> Use Suggested Merges to identify and combine orders with the same destination address.

**Merge Suggestions** displays our recommendations for orders you should combine because they share the same destination address. Merging is a smart way to consolidate shipments and cut costs.

<!-- callout:warning -->
Once an order is merged you cannot unmerge the order from the parent or the parent order from the other orders. Once an order is merged into a parent order it cannot be reimported.

## How it works

**Displaying Suggested Merges**

1. Sign in to your Starshipit account.
2. Ensure [you are on UI 2.0](/articles/getting-started/how-to-guides/switching-between-classic-ui-and-ui-2-0)
3. On the main order grid, select **SUGGESTED MERGES**. **![MicrosoftTeams-image (16).png](/uploads/articles/orders-manifests-reports/faqs/suggested-merges/image_7954897760015.png)**
4. Starshipit will reload the grid and display whether you have any orders that share a destination and therefore could be merged.

**Merging a single group**

1. Each alternating row color indicates orders belonging to the same suggested merge group.
2. To merge a group, tick the orders in the same row group.

3. Select **Merge** on the right-hand side.
4. In the pop-up dialog, **choose the parent order**.

5. Select **Merge**.
6. These orders are now combined and removed from the suggested merges group.

**Merging many merge suggestions in one go**

If you have multiple suggestions, you can bulk-merge orders.

1. Select all groups to merge or use the checkbox in the top left to select all orders.
2. Click **Merge All.**

(Note: When merging multiple orders at once, Starshipit will automatically select the oldest order as the parent.)
