Creating Return Policy: General Settings


Shipped
Last Updated: 2 hours ago

The General Settings section allows you to define overall parameters for when a return is allowed and what constraints apply to each case — such as return windows, shipping logic, and inventory limits.

Use the fields below to tailor your return logic to your operational and financial preferences:


1. Return Policy URL

  • Add a link to your public-facing return policy (e.g., your Help Center article).

  • This link may be used in automated emails or customer-facing portals.


2. Return Window

  • Set the number of days after delivery during which a customer can initiate a return.

  • Example: Enter 30 to allow returns within 30 days of delivery.

  • Outside this window, items will not be eligible for return.


3. Minimum Return Threshold

  • Specify a minimum order/item value (in USD) required for returns to be eligible.

  • Useful to discourage returns for low-value items where return shipping may cost more than the item.

  • Leave at 0 to allow returns on all orders regardless of value.


4. Shipping Required Tags

  • Enter tags to force a product to be returned, regardless of value.

  • These override the Minimum Return Threshold.

  • Example use case: defective or regulated products that must be physically returned.


5. Shipping Not Required Tags

  • Enter tags to waive the requirement to return an item, regardless of value.

  • These take precedence over the Shipping Required Tags.

  • Example use case: low-value or perishable items where the customer can keep the item.


6. Minimum Inventory Threshold for Replacement

  • Set a minimum inventory level required to offer a replacement.

  • If inventory falls below this number, the "Replacement" option will not appear for the customer.

  • Default value is 1.
