Auto-Create Orders for the Replace With the Same Item Return Requests
Overview
Returns can be difficult to manage, especially when your store is closing a large sales volume every month. The new automation rule to create exchange orders automatically when a shopper chooses to exchange the purchased item with the same item will help you manage returns better and streamline the return process further.
Enable automatic exchange order creation
It’s super easy to activate automatic order creation for the exchange with the same item return requests. Just follow these simple steps:
- Go to Refunds and exchanges in the AfterShip Returns admin
- Scroll down to Replacement order creation > Automatically create a replacement order in store
- Move the toggle to the right to enable it
- Choose a trigger to auto-create the exchange order. You can select the status of the return order based on which an exchange order will be auto-created
a. Approved: When the RMA request is approved
b. In-transit: The shipment is accepted and on the way
c. Delivered: The exchange item is successfully delivered
d. Mark as received: When the RMA request is marked as received by the merchant. In order words, the returned item is successfully received by the warehouse or shipping location
