      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. 
        • Note: Some carriers support forward deliveries only, returns only, or both.

      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

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