Documentation

Useful for flagging orders for manual follow-up, for stores that see fraudulent activity in which billing and shipping address are not the same.

This task auto-tags orders, as they're created, if their billing and shipping addresses do not match. It ignores orders that do not have a billing address, or that do not have a shipping address.

{% comment %}
  Shopify sometimes populates coordinates on one address, but not the other. So, we compare
  addresses *without* those attributes.
