The returns portal is a feature-rich solution that enables you to automate your returns policy in a way that is easy for both your team to manage and your customers to enjoy.

Portal customisation

  • Customise the portal to suit your brand and theming, including the page title, favicon, header and footer, accent colour, logo and packaging details
  • Embed the portal onto your website to create a seamless experience for customers
  • Customise the URL so that it matches your store with a subdomain

Returns policy automation

  • Use the in-depth rules engine to ensure your portal mirrors your returns policy (e.g. rejecting returns older than 30 days or rejecting certain SKUs like earrings)
  • Set up multiple reimbursement options: store credit, refund from original payment, and exchanging products
  • Charge freight costs based on the reimbursement option (e.g. refunds cost $5 but store credit is free to encourage customers to stay in your ecosystem)

Customer communication

  • Send branded emails and SMS notifications throughout the returns process to keep yourself and your customer informed
  • Send customised return links directly from your outgoing orders in Starshipit
  • Send customers a shipping label directly

Carrier support

Enable a range of supported carriers including:

  • DHL
  • Australia Post
  • TNT
  • CourierPlease
  • NZ Post
  • More being added regularly

Order management

  • Automatically creates a return based on the outgoing order (down to the dimensions and items included in the shipment)
  • Create partial and multiple returns for a single order
  • Allow customers (or your team) to reprint a return label if it's misplaced
  • Let customers edit their return address to ship from a different location than where they originally received the parcel
