Returns

Returns handled from the same record, label included.

A wrong item, a change of mind, a size swap. The customer starts it from the tracking page, BuySure AI applies your return rules, sends the prepaid label, tracks the parcel back to you and releases the refund or exchange when it arrives.

How do BuySure returns work? The shopper starts a return from the order tracking page or the claim page. BuySure checks the merchant's return rules (window, eligible items, restocking fee, allowed outcomes), approves eligible returns automatically, emails a prepaid carrier label, tracks the return shipment, and releases the refund, exchange or store credit in Shopify when the parcel arrives.

Start to finish

How does a BuySure return work, step by step?

Customer starts it

From the tracking page or their order: pick the items, the reason, and refund, exchange or credit.

Rules apply, label goes out

Eligible returns approve instantly. A prepaid label lands in their inbox with drop-off instructions.

Tracked back to you

The return parcel is tracked like an outbound one. You see it coming, the customer sees it arrive.

Released on arrival

Refund, exchange order or store credit is issued in Shopify when the return scans in.

Your rules

What return rules can a merchant set?

  • Return window, eligible and final-sale items, condition requirements.
  • Restocking fee, who pays the label, free exchanges to keep the sale.
  • Outcomes offered: refund, exchange, store credit with a bonus.
  • Exchanges hold stock and ship the moment the return scans in.
  • Returns that break the rules go to a person, with the reason shown.

Why it matters

Why handle returns inside the same platform?

Swap

Exchanges first

Offer the right size or shade before a refund, with stock held so it ships the day the return scans.

Credit

Credit with a bonus

Store credit plus a percentage on top keeps the money in your store and the customer coming back.

Data

Reasons you can act on

Return reasons by product roll up in the portal, so a sizing or packaging problem shows up in a week, not a quarter.

BuySure AI

What is BuySure AI?

BuySure AI is the claims engine inside the BuySure Shopify app. For every claim it reads the photos, checks the delivery evidence, compares the order and tracking, reviews the customer's claim and order history, assigns a risk score from 0 to 100, and either resolves the claim under the merchant's auto-approve limit or routes it to a human with a recommendation and the reasons.

Claims management

What does BuySure claims management do?

It gives a Shopify merchant one queue for every claim: stuck in transit, damaged, stolen, missing items, wrong item, quality issue and returned to sender. Each claim carries the order, the evidence, the AI risk score, a timeline and the customer conversation, and is resolved by refund, replacement or store credit in Shopify.

Automated resolutions

How does automated claim resolution work?

The merchant sets an auto-approve limit. BuySure AI scores each claim; low-risk claims at or under the limit are approved and resolved in Shopify automatically. Claims above the limit or flagged go to BuySure review or to the merchant's team. Rejections always require a person.

BuySure Checkout

What is BuySure Checkout?

BuySure Checkout is a package protection offer shown in the Shopify cart under the merchant's own name, priced as a percentage of the order that the merchant sets. Shoppers add it with one click or continue without it. Orders with protection can be claimed on the merchant's claim page if they arrive damaged, go missing or are stolen.

Merchants can offer cashback on protected orders, funded by a merchant share plus a plan share and shown as one amount at checkout, and a bonus percentage on store credit chosen as a claim resolution. Both are issued as Shopify discount codes and spent back in the merchant's store.
