How it works

## One request. Four clear steps.

1. 01

   ### Publish your return rules

   Set your store’s return policy and share your branded customer portal.
2. 02

   ### Collect the request

   Customers verify their email, select their order item and provide a reason, photos or notes.
3. 03

   ### Review and decide

   Check the evidence against your rules. Use optional AI suggestions when helpful, then approve or decline yourself.
4. 04

   ### Resolve the return

   Upload a carrier return label, record the received item and explicitly confirm any Shopify refund.

You control approvals and refunds. Return-label PDFs come from your carrier before you upload them.

## A few things to know.

**Do I need the main FulfillRelay app?**

No. FulfillRelay Returns is a separate app for your Shopify store. No supplier connection or Main subscription is required. If you also need supplier order routing, [explore FulfillRelay](https://fulfillrelay.com/shopify-supplier-order-routing).

**Does AI approve returns or issue refunds?**

No. AI reviews provide optional suggestions within your plan limits. You approve or decline each return and explicitly confirm any refund.

**How do return labels work?**

Obtain a return-label PDF from your carrier, then upload it to the case for your customer. Label postage is separate from the app subscription.

**What is included in the free plan?**

Five return cases and five optional AI reviews per month, with the branded portal and manual review workflow. Paid plans support higher monthly volumes.

Your next step

## Give every return a clear path.

Install Returns, publish your rules and share your portal link.

Is it right for your store?

## Know the fit before you install.

The quickest way to avoid a wrong install is to be clear about who each app is for, and who it is not for.

### FulfillRelay Returns

Any Shopify store that handles its own customer returns

#### Good fit

- You run a Shopify store and handle your own customer returns.
- You want customers to send order details, reasons and photos in one branded place.
- You want to review each request against your own written rules.
- You are happy to make approvals and confirm refunds yourself.

#### Probably not for you

- You want returns approved or refunded automatically. AI only suggests.
- You need supplier order routing. Returns does not include it; FulfillRelay does.
- You expect Returns to buy shipping labels. You upload return-label PDFs from your carrier.

What happens next

## Four steps from install to your first result.

A first successful setup is one real order or one real return that you can follow from start to finish.

### FulfillRelay Returns

   Start on the free plan: 5 return cases and 5 optional AI reviews a month.
2. **Publish your return rules**
