Description

Method, apparatus, and recording medium for merging orders The present disclosure relates to a technique for merging one or more orders. More specifically, it relates to a technique for generating information for merging each order and managing it integrally. In the case of e-commerce services, a large volume of goods can be generated as products are transported for various purposes—such as sellers collecting and transporting goods to logistics centers, moving incoming goods to regional hub centers, or delivering products shipped from hub centers to individual customers based on orders. Furthermore, due to advancements in logistics and the increasing demand for e-commerce services, there is a growing need to optimize product transportation. Consequently, to enhance transportation efficiency and manage costs, e-commerce service providers may charge shipping fees to customers or offer shipping discounts for purchases exceeding a certain amount. On the other hand, customers may hesitate to make a purchase if the price of the goods does not meet the shipping discount conditions set by the service provider. For instance, if an item is missing from the order after it has been completed, the customer may delay purchasing that item or abandon the order for the missing product.
