Each item gets its own assessment and your stock is updated right away.

Return status per item

Assess every item on its own

A return sometimes holds several products, and you do not handle every product the same way. You give each one its own return status, with exactly the options your sales channel offers.

Photos as proof

Capture what comes back in

Add multiple photos per return item. Handy for damaged or incomplete returns, as proof toward the customer or to record internally what you received.

Restock

Back in stock, or not

Decide per item whether it goes back into stock and pick the warehouse location. For bundles you set a location per subproduct.

T&T scanning

One scan, the right return

Grab the return parcel, scan the track and trace code and the matching return opens right in front of you. No searching through lists, just process it.

How you process a return

Four steps, from arrival to handled

Every return follows the same route in ShopLinkr. Predictable for you and quick to explain to new colleagues.

  1. 1

    Open the return

    Open the return from your overview or scan the T&T code on the parcel. You immediately see the details, the customer and the products coming back.

  2. 2

    Assess the items

    Choose the return status per item, fill in the number of units received and add photos of the condition the product arrived in if needed.

  3. 3

    Put it back in stock

    Decide per item whether it can be sold again and pick the warehouse location.

  4. 4

    Finish the return

    You handle the return in one go. ShopLinkr sets the return to Handled and automatically syncs the processing back to your sales channel.

Ask your question

How do returns come into ShopLinkr?

Returns come into ShopLinkr automatically from your linked sales channel. You process them in one place, and the status and stock then go back to the channel automatically.

Can I decide per item whether it goes back into stock?

Yes, you decide that per item. With the Add to stock toggle you put a product back into the sellable stock and choose the warehouse location, per sub-product for bundles. If you leave that toggle off, the item doesn't count as sellable.

Can I add photos to a return?

Yes, you add photos per return item. Handy as evidence for damaged or incomplete returns, for example in a dispute with a customer or to record internally what state a product arrived in.

What happens to the status on the sales channel?

As soon as you process a return, ShopLinkr syncs the processing back to your sales channel automatically. You don't have to log in separately for that. At the same time your stock is adjusted, so every linked channel immediately shows the right numbers.
