Auto-Exchange

Last Updated: November 4, 2024

Auto-exchange is a policy rule setting that automates the release of exchanged items upon meeting certain conditions. 

An exchange order includes all the items the customer requested to exchange in the RMA. If any item included is set for manual release, then all items will be released manually.

Auto-exchange triggers can be configured to one of the following: 

  • Items have been validated
  • RMA is approved
  • Shipment is in-transit
  • Shipment has been received

Additionally, you can decide when you want the auto-exchange feature to be triggered. You can trigger the auto-exchange feature immediately or delay it by hours or days.

Requirements

This feature can be added as an add-on.

  • This feature can be configured on variant exchange and product exchange policy rules.
  • If the trigger used is shipment is in transit, then integration with a shipping service that supports live tracking status updates is required.
