Creating Return Policy: Policy Information


Shipped
Last Updated: 3 hours ago

The Policy Information section defines the basic rules for when and to whom a return policy applies. This includes tagging rules, customer segments, email domains, geographies, and time-based restrictions.

Follow the steps below to configure this section:


1. Policy Name

  • Purpose: Internal reference only (not shown to customers).

  • Tip: Use a naming convention like Region - Audience - Notes (e.g., US - VIP Members).


2. Enable This Return Policy

  • Toggle this on to activate the policy.

  • You can save a policy in draft mode by leaving this unchecked.


3. Geographic Applicability

  • Define which geographic region(s) this policy applies to.

  • Leave blank to apply to all regions.

  • Click “Add Geography” to select supported regions (e.g., United States, Canada).


4. Timeframe Applicability

  • Use this to restrict the policy to orders placed within a specific time range (e.g., for holiday campaigns).

  • Click “Add Timeframe” to set custom start and end dates.

  • Leave blank to apply year-round.


5. Timespan Applicability

Restrict the policy based on how recently the order was placed or delivered:

  • Days Since Placed: Applies only to orders placed within this number of days.

  • Days Since Delivered: Applies only to orders delivered within this number of days.

⚠️ Avoid using both fields at once unless you have a very specific use case, as this can lead to confusion.


6. Special Applicability

Target the policy based on specific tags:

  • Order Tags: Applies only to orders with any of the specified tags.

  • Customer Tags: Applies only to customers with any of the specified tags.

  • Leave both blank to apply broadly.


7. Email Address Applicability

Restrict the policy based on customer email patterns:

  • Email Address Patterns: Enter domain-level patterns (e.g., @company.com) or use wildcards (e.g., @.*\.edu).

  • Uses regex-style matching—any order matching any pattern will qualify.

  • Leave blank to apply to all email addresses.
