Switching it on

  1. Switch the module on with the toggle at the top of this page.

  3. Open Reasons to choose the reasons a customer may pick.
  4. Open Locations & couriers so approved returns have somewhere to go.

It is live when: The module is on. Set your policy before the first request arrives.

What your customer sees

Nothing of ours with our name on it: this module works behind your storefront and your own emails.

Everything on the storefront is a theme block or the app embed, so there is no theme code to edit and nothing to undo if you switch the module off.

Questions merchants ask

How does a customer raise a return?

From the order in their account, inside the window set in Returns → Policy. They pick a reason, add photos if you ask for them, and you approve or decline from the dashboard.

How does a pickup get booked?

Connect a courier account under Locations & couriers and assign it to a location. On an approved request, Book pickup creates the reverse pickup and stores the AWB. You can also enter an AWB by hand.

How are refunds made?

On settling a return: back to the payment method through Shopify, as store credit, or, for COD orders, by bank transfer to the details the customer entered.

What is an exchange?

The customer picks a different size or variant instead of money back. You approve it the same way; the replacement goes out as a new order.

Works with

Every module shares the same customer, so these need no setting up twice.
