QR codes are a service that some shipping carriers offer for generating printerless return labels.
With QR codes, customers don’t have to print out a return label for shipping back returned items. Instead, the customer can simply scan the QR code using their phone at the carrier’s office, and the clerk will handle the rest.
Requirements
- Only relevant for ship with pre-paid label return methods.
- ReturnGO only supports this feature through certain integrations, including Royal Mail, Canada Post, and USPS. Check out which integrations support QR codes in the full shipping integrations comparison.
