Set Up
From Merchant Admin, navigate to Returns > Configurations to customize your return options.
General Settings
Under the General Settings tab is where you would add your standard return policy information and configure the following.
Minimum Return Threshold
In some cases, for less expensive items, it may not be financially feasible to return them. By setting a minimum return threshold, any value over the set amount will require physical return of the items.
Minimum Inventory Threshold for Replacement
To prevent replacement request for items that may not be available in inventory due to incorrect inventory records or other customers placing an order at the same time, you can set a minimum inventory threshold for replacement. Once set, items with quantities below the specified count will be treated as out of stock, and customers will not be offered replacement as a return resolution option.
Return Configurations
Under the Return Configurations tab, you can configure the options for the return experience.
Return for Store Credit and Final Sale Items
You can use product types or tags to identify products that can only be returned for store credit or are ineligible for return.

Creating a Test Return
Before making the self-service returns feature available to your customers, we recommend creating a test return to ensure that everything is set up as desired.
