Why choose Mageplaza Mass Order Action for Magento 2?

- Have to create invoice and shipment one by one for each other
- Not allow creating both invoice and shipment for an order
As a result, this is one root for keeping the work process inconvenient and time-consuming. Mass Order Actions is designed to help Magento 2 store owners solve this problem by allowing them to take actions on multiple orders simultaneously.
Some available actions the admins can do from the backend:
