Overview

Returns Manager gives you the flexibility to process refunds for your customers directly from within the app's admin, or use Shopify's gift card functionality to offer store credit.

Refunding works similar to the way that the refund portal available within the Shopify admin works. You'll be able to see the notes a customer has left about their order and why they want a refund. You can also set up returns to be automatically approved if it fits with your store's return policy.

Customers are able to leave notes to indicate they would like a store credit, instead.

Select one of the following accordions to view the instructions:
