Troubleshooting the Integration 

Many of the issues encountered related to integration can be identified during setup or label generation. 

Here are a few things you can check to try and fix such issues: 

Setup Issues 

Make sure your API credentials are accurate. 

• There should be no extra spaces before or after each API entry. 
• Make sure you are using live or production API credentials, and not dev or test APIs. 
• Try to re-generate a new API key and reconnect. 
• If a carrier or service level is not available, contact your shipping service support team to verify which return services are available. 

Label Creation Issues 

Verify your Return Address.

• Some carriers may not recognize special characters, which might cause issues when generating labels.
• Remove special characters and unnecessary spaces in your return address.
  • For example: 
    • If your store name is “John & Jane Store”, change it to “John and Jane Store”. 
    • If your store phone number has “+” signs or “( )”, remove them. 

Verify the Customer’s Address.

• ReturnGO takes the customer’s address when the request is submitted.
• If there are corrections to the customer’s address, reject and resubmit the return request. 

Verify the Item Weight. 

• If the total weight of the items being returned exceeds the service level’s weight limit, then the carrier will reject the label request.

Verify if you can Generate a Return Label for the Order Directly in the Shipping Platform. 

• If your shipping service platform cannot generate the label, then it will also fail in ReturnGO.
