Portal Position

Under the General Settings > General section of the Portal > Look and Feel page, you can define the position of your portal as they appear on the page they’re embedded in.

Portal Margins

Set the margins you want above and below the portal, as well as the container margins to control the spacing within the portal.

Minimal Top Offset

Specify how the portal will be positioned while navigating through the returns process, especially if there is content above the portal. This setting only applies to portals that are embedded on a custom page.

This lets you adjust the spacing above your portal to make sure it doesn't collide with your banner.

To customize the minimal top offset:

  1. Go to Portal > Look and Feel.
  2.  Go to the General Settings section.

  3. Open the Advanced section.
  4. Set the offset value.
  5. Click on the save icon to save your changes.
    Offset settings

If you set the offset value but nothing changed in the portal, you may be using the default portal page instead of an embedded custom page. Since the default URL does not include any text before the main return portal, there is nothing to offset.

If you have embedded the portal on a custom page, then the issue might be that you’re testing the results on the first screen of the portal, while the effects of the offset can only be seen on later steps of the portal.

Display SKU for Product Items

Define whether product SKUs will be displayed in the return portal. If you enable the toggle, the product SKU will be visible below each product name on both the item selection and exchange item selection pages of the return portal.
