How to delete a return in Swap (Returns V2)

Deleting a return permanently removes it from Swap and is only possible before the return is marked Delivered. This article explains when deletion is available versus when to close the return and refund manually in Shopify instead.

Written by Guido Kaspers

Deleting a return in Swap permanently removes the return request from the system, as if it never existed. This is intended for returns still in Pre-transit status. Once a return is marked Delivered, it can no longer be deleted — you'll need to close it instead and process any refund, exchange, or store credit manually in Shopify. Deleting a return while it is In-transit is possible, but results in losing all associated tracking records and documentation, so only do this if necessary.

This article is for users of Returns V2. For the Returns V1 version, see Deleting a return in Swap (Returns V1).
