A smooth returns process plays a major role in determining customer satisfaction and loyalty. When customers know that they can get their money back just as easily as they spend it, they’ll shop more confidently and spend more. Offering customers the right mix of methods to resolve their return requests paves the way for increased customer lifetime value and a positive returns experience.
AfterShip Returns offers your customers multiple methods to resolve their return requests and makes it easier for you to process refunds, exchanges, and store credits without the headaches. Return resolutions can be configured in your AfterShip Returns admin under Refunds and exchanges.
