Getting Started

How long has ReturnLogic been in business?

ReturnLogic was founded in 2015 but the idea started much earlier. We started out as merchants in the trenches, just like you. We know how daunting and chaotic returns can be, which is why we’re here to partner with you every step of the way as you grow and as you transform how your team handles returns.

How do I create a returns policy?

A return policy should contain straightforward, easy-to-read language on its own separate page that is easy to access from your ecommerce homepage. It’s important to include certain features in any return policy aimed at optimizing the customer experience and workflow efficiency. Review our free returns policy checklist here.
Return policies aren’t something to set and forget. However, knowing where to begin can be a challenge, which is why we’ve provided a free return policy generator for you to get started.

How do I calculate the ROI of returns management software?

With the average return taking 15 minutes to process manually, labor cost, the number of touchpoints, shipping labels, shopper churn, employee turnover, and loss of product value, returns can be very expensive. On average, retailers who switch from a manual process to a returns management software solution save $5 per return. View our Cost of Returns Calculator to calculate how much returns are costing you.

What is the difference between a returns app and returns management platform?

A returns app is a great launching point for retailers starting out. Traditionally they are downloaded for free or for a free trial from an app store. Return apps are cheaper and easier to adopt, but provide far less functionality than return solutions.

A returns portal app for baseline automation can be useful until a retailer reaches between 50 and 100 returns per month. From there, retailers need to upgrade to a returns management platform or risk growth potential and profit loss. Returns management platforms provide more automation for customer support teams, more visibility and communication with the warehouse and operations teams, and exceptional reporting + analytics for management.

What does ReturnLogic not do?

ReturnLogic is not a Third-Party Logistics Provider (3PL). ReturnLogic is not an Enterprise Resource Planner (ERP). ReturnLogic is not a warehouse management tool (WMS). ReturnLogic is not a shipping carrier. ReturnLogic partners and integrates with these types of companies to create an omnichannel and robust returns experience. Learn more about what makes ReturnLogic different.

Key Features

Does your platform integrate with other software or tools?

Yes, of course. Our goal is to empower merchants with actionable insights from their reverse logistics data sources. ReturnLogic connects with ERPs, WMSs, 3PLs, etc. See our current list of partners and integrations. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, we have an Open API that allows for custom development work.

For more information, check out our Knowledge Base with articles on all our current integrations. Or check out our API Documentation to see how you can build your own.

Do you incentivize store credit with exchanges?

At this point in time, we do not offer bonus credit to incentivize exchanges. We help merchants deter refunds through other means instead of offering shoppers discounts. This may change at a future date. Learn more about all of our returns features.

Can ReturnLogic handle bundled returns?

Yes, ReturnLogic can handle returns for the entire bundle/kit or for returning a single item within a bundle or kit. To learn more about all our plans and features, click here.

How does ReturnLogic handle warranty returns and third-party warranties from Amazon or Ebay?

ReturnLogic empowers retailers to accept warranty claims from shoppers no matter where they bought their product. Shoppers have the choice to submit a warranty return claim from purchases made on Shopify, or they can register their products for purchases made somewhere else (Amazon, eBay, etc.). Retailers can customize options for which locations or third-party partners they would like to accept warranty claims from. All warranties get handled and processed in the same place as any other return.

Shipping

Should I offer free shipping on returns?

In an age when shoppers expect delivery in two days or less, the topic of free shipping often comes up. For some retailers, offering free shipping to customers makes sense for their business. Use our Free Returns Shipping Calculator to help you determine if offering free product return shipping can be profitable for your business.

Do you offer Printerless Returns or QR Codes?

Yes, with ReturnLogic, merchants can set up Printerless returns for their shoppers through USPS. Shoppers can walk into any USPS location, display a QR code from their phone, and have the carrier scan, print out, and apply a label to the package for shipment. Learn more about our features here!

Does ReturnLogic offer Shipping Label Services?

ReturnLogic customers have the option to choose between ReturnLogic Shipping Solution and third-party applications like EasyPost and Shippo when deciding how to handle return shipping. ReturnLogic does not hold billing information for these applications. ReturnLogic Shipping Solution bills customers when a shipping label is created AND marked as either in-transit, processed or received. This is calculated bi-weekly and is billed on the previous 14 days of shipping labels. The cost of each label depends on the weight of the package and the zone of delivery.
