MultiExcerptNameFeature Overview

Online retailers experience 3x as many returns as brick and mortar stores, and the processing of these returns is a costly overhead for most businesses. Being able to accept and track returns online can streamline the process for both you and the customer.


Returns process for your customer:


  1. The user logs in and navigates to the order details page (Order History). If the order contains returnable lines, a 'Return Items' button is visible. The user clicks this to begin the return. 


  2. They enter the number of items on each returnable line and clicks Return Selected Items. Or if the whole order is to be returned, they can click Return All Items.
  3. After that, the user completes the pickup and return information (return reason, whether the stock is in resalable condition, and so forth). 


  4. The user will be given confirmation on submitting the return. This will either instruct them to keep the stock if the return falls below a certain value or detail how to send the stock back.   


  5. The online return integrates back to your ERP and is managed as part of your normal business process for returns.
