Follow these steps to get your portal up and running.

Design Your Portal

  • Go to Returns → Design → Continue Editing.

  • Update your background photo, logo, colour palette, fonts, and button shape.

  • For each section, you can also adjust the text (such as banner text) to align with your store’s branding.

  • When you’re happy with the design, click Save and Publish.

Configure Your Return Policy

  • Navigate to Returns → Settings → Returns.

  • Set your Return Window (number of days customers have to return or exchange items from the fulfilment date).

  • Define your Return Parcel period (number of days customers must ship items back after submitting the return).

  • Make sure these values match your company policy.

Add Carriers and Return Address

  • Under Shipping, add both domestic and international carriers.

  • Carriers from onboarding will already be available, but you can request additional ones if needed.

  • For each carrier, configure any shipping fees as well as options for refunds, exchanges, and store credit.

  • Set your return address to ensure labels are generated correctly. You can add multiple addresses if required.

Enable Exchanges and Store Credit

  • Go to Settings → Exchange Experience.

  • Turn on domestic and international exchanges, store credit, and optionally add a bonus percentage for customers choosing store credit.

  • These options encourage exchanges and help retain revenue.

Customise Return Reasons

  • Add clear return reasons to better understand why items are being returned.

  • Create sub-reasons and choose whether to require photos and comments.

  • Save your changes to make these appear in the portal.

Configure Return Emails

  • Go to Email Settings.

  • Enable and customise:

    • Submission emails: sent after a return or exchange is submitted.

    • Received return emails: sent when the returned shipment is delivered.

  • Edit text, add links, and adjust buttons to keep communication on-brand.

  • Save your changes.
