Watch out for

Shopify API rate limits can block bulk operations so implement exponential backoff and respect retry-after headers.
Emails may land in spam folders if you do not properly configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for your domain.
Inventory might be double-counted if the cancellation process does not explicitly trigger a restock webhook or API call.
Duplicate reminders can annoy customers so add a unique tag to each order immediately after sending an email.
