It's designed to give you and your customers a smooth, hassle-free return and exchange process.

Easy Return Process
The Swap Return Portal is designed to simplify return handling for you and your customers. Streamlining this process significantly improves customer satisfaction, as customers can manage their returns hassle-free. Furthermore, it boosts efficiency, saving valuable time and resources that can be focused on other aspects of their business. The Swap Return Portal creates a more seamless and positive shopping experience for all parties involved.
Automated Return Approval
The Swap Return Portal offers an automated return approval feature to streamline the return process further. This feature allows you to set up rules for automatically approving returns based on certain criteria, such as return in transit or delivered or quality control, reducing the time spent manually reviewing each request. This feature can be switched on and off.
Multiple Shipping Destinations
Tailor the returns process according to your business needs. Whether you work with multiple carriers or have specific warehouses or fulfilment centres, Swap can accommodate your unique configurations. This level of customisation empowers you to optimize your returns operations and improve overall logistics management.
Advanced Rules
Advanced rules allow advanced customisation of the way returns are processed. These rules can give certain customers free shipping or stop the return of certain items on certain occasions. For example, you can set rules to automatically deny returns for final sale items or provide free return shipping for VIP customers.

Exchanging Products
As a revenue retention feature, The Swap Return Portal includes an exchange feature, which allows customers to exchange their purchased items for other items in your store directly through the portal. This feature can significantly improve the customer experience, providing an immediate solution for customers who may have ordered the wrong size, material, or colour. By simplifying the exchange process, Swap’s exchange feature can also help to increase customer retention and loyalty. Furthermore, it can help to reduce the total number of returns, as customers are encouraged to exchange rather than return their items, retaining revenue.
It is also possible to let customers exchange products for something completely different, such as accessories for clothing.

Store Credit
Store Credit is a digital Shopify gift card that can be spent in your store. During the refund process, customers have the option to choose store credit. When choosing store credit, you can give a percentage on top of the returned item value. This incentivises customers to choose this option over a refund, retaining revenue.
Shipping Label Integration
With integrated shipping labels, your customers' return labels are automatically generated during the returns process. This means there is no need to create a return label manually, simplifying the process. This feature improves the user experience and streamlines the return process by adding a layer of automation.
