Set up and manage sales channels

We need to add Instagram Shopping and a Facebook Shop to our store and make sure orders route to the same fulfillment queue. Add Instagram Shopping and Facebook Shop as sales channels, link the account for @ThreadHouseCo, set the product sync to include all active products, and route orders from both channels into the main fulfillment location called Seattle Warehouse. Confirm both channels show active and test by placing a $5 test order through Instagram and a $5 test order through Facebook before noon Friday.

Before I open new sales channels to customers, make it easy for the support team to track where orders came from. Surface channel labels in the order list, add a note to the order confirmation that the sale came from Instagram or Facebook, and flag any products that are excluded from channel sync. Also identify three product tags that would stop sync and put a short note explaining why those tags exist for the ops team.

I connected @ThreadHouseCo to Instagram Shopping and Facebook Shop and the channels show active, but when the first orders came in they created duplicate fulfillment tasks. Mia in ops says duplicates block our picker. I don't know whether the duplicate records are coming from product-level syncing, channel settings, or the third-party fulfillment app. What's the most likely cause and the single next step I should take to stop duplicates now?

Over the last quarter every time we add a new sales channel we spend days fixing which products sync, updating tags, and retraining ops on location routing. This costs support three afternoons per channel launch. Recommend one change to how we set up channels and one new checklist item to make future channel additions take under two hours and not break fulfillment.
