Currently under pre-release (“has_return_feature”). Contact support for more information.
This is a native, and ERP supported feature that enables a return form to appear on the order view screen.
Feature Overview
This feature simplifies the item return process by allowing users to submit return requests without the hassle of manual emails or back-and-forth conversations. Once a request is submitted, an email notification is automatically sent to the designated return email address for the branch, containing all the details from the form. If enabled, a copy of the email can also be sent to the user who submitted the request.
Configuration Instructions
To activate, go to admin, Store Settings > General > Store Preferences > Orders and select Enable Form.
Fields
Enable form: Enable or disable the feature in the storefront for all users.
Number of reasons allowed: Sets how many return reasons can be displayed (max: 10). These reasons can be customised in the translation settings.
Max order age for returns: Controls whether an order is returnable based on the number of days since the order was created. If the order age exceeds the limit, the form option is removed.
Order status allowed: Controls whether an order is returnable based on its current status. If the order status does not match the specified status, the form option is removed.
Email client with a copy of the return request: When enabled, the email sent to staff is also sent to the client.
