 * So this has been happening for a while now. I keep getting the occasional Draft
   order created then usually (but not always) a new Processing order will be raised
   by the same customer. Doing some research it looks like Draft orders should only
   be available with Blocks Checkout but I am not using Blocks, I have the older
   style Shortcode Checkout. I can’t find a common link other than most Draft orders
   are using Stripe not Paypal. I may go days without any then get 2/3 in a day.
   My main worry is that some customers are getting stuck somewhere during the checkout
   process as some go back and raise a new order. Any ideas?

 * Hey! This is likely because your customers are using express payment buttons (
   Apple Pay, Google Pay) from the product page, which uses draft orders

 * [@senadir](https://wordpress.org/support/users/senadir/) I only have Apple Pay&
   Google Pay setup at the checkout page, not on a product page. I suspected this
   may be the culprit but then dismissed it because those customers that raise another
   order very often use a standard credit card checkout.

 * The ones on Checkout (both) also use Store API, you can test it yourself
