Return Methods Overview

Your return methods define if and how customers will need to return the items. 

There are 4 types of return methods: 

• No Shipment Required
  The customer doesn't need to ship back the item, instead keeping or donating the item. Read more here.
• Return to Drop-Off Location
  The customer brings the item back to a defined location such as a physical store location or drop-off location. Read more here.
• Ship With Any Carrier
  The customer ships the item back with any carrier of their choice. Read more here.
• Ship With Pre-Paid Label
  The customer ships back the items using a pre-paid return shipping label generated by the integrated shipping carrier. Read more here.

Mixed Resolutions and Return Methods

ReturnGO supports flexible return options. However, return methods cannot be mixed within a single return request (RMA).

Limitations

To ensure a smooth return process, note the following limitations:

1. Only one return method can be selected per RMA.

Example: A customer cannot return one item using Ship with Pre-paid Label and another using Ship With Any Carrier for another in the same request. 

2. Only one refund type can be selected per RMA.

Example: A customer cannot refund one item to store credit and another to a gift card in the same request. 

3. Refunds and exchanges can be mixed in the same RMA as long as there are no conflicting refund methods.

Example: A customer exchanges one item with no price difference and gets a refund for another item. 

1. 1. If the exchange has a negative balance, it can be processed together with another refund request, but only if the refund method is the same for both the exchange price difference and the refund.
      Example: A customer exchanges one item and receives a refund for another, using store credit for both the exchange price difference refund and the item refund.
