Two orders. Three line items. Four units.
A repeated order ID isn't enough to decide which row to delete.
In this fictional example:
• Order 9001: one mug at $10, plus two teas at $10 each. Order total: $30.
• Order 9002: one book at $12. Order total: $12.
That's two orders, three line items and four units, with $42 in order totals. Deleting the tea row because 9001 appears twice loses a legitimate item. Copying the $30 order total onto both item rows and summing that column produces $72 instead of $42.
Keep the item-level view intact. Build a separate order summary with each verified order-level amount recorded once, and flag conflicting values for review.
Self-initiated, AI-assisted teaching sample with checked arithmetic. One currency; no shipping, discounts, taxes or refunds. These simplified rows are not an untouched Shopify export, and no live Shopify integration was tested.
Shopify documents why additional line items occupy separate rows:

I'm testing a $250 offline catalog/export preparation pilot: supplied mapping rules, a cleaned table, exceptions and reconciliation. If that fits a small agency task, message me here with a short non-sensitive description. Scope, data handling and timing would be agreed before starting.

Shopify CRO, UX & Trust Optimization for Buysensica
Buysensica needed to transform its Shopify storefront into a more conversion- focused and trust-driven ecommerce experience. While the brand offered premium personal care devices, the existing website lacked strong reassurance elements, clear user guidance, and a design structure that reflected its market positioning.
The project focused on improving conversion performance through CRO strategy, UX refinements, trust signal implementation, and customer journey optimization. Product pages were redesigned with stronger messaging, improved layouts, and enhanced credibility elements to support confident purchasing decisions.
The outcome was a refined Shopify experience designed to improve engagement, reduce purchase hesitation, and support long-term customer growth.
