Returns

Returns can be a widespread problem for businesses.

Processing returns can be slow, complex and prone to human error.

It also can be abused by ecommerce return fraudsters, returning empty or swapped items for a refund or exchange.

It also has a serious impact on your customers experience. A bad returns process can lead to more customer complaints and can create a negative experience for customers, failing to meet their expectations. A smooth and efficient returns process, on the other hand, can help ensure customer satisfaction and lead to positive reviews and repeat business.

This reduces the likelihood of fraud and errors by ensuring the process is controlled through PeopleVox system and only correct items can be returned.

Also helping to make your returns processing fast and efficient, along with handling the inventory actions post return.

Customers expect to receive refunds for their returns quickly and understand where their return is.

When a return is processed in PeopleVox, Pimsical synchronises the return back to Shopify this will mark the order in Shopify as returned and we will automatically process the refund for the return.
