Returns and exchanges for Shopify stores that sell cash on delivery.
Your customer picks what to send back and what they want instead. You approve item by item, a courier or a branch collects it, and every pound is accounted for.

01The problem
On cash on delivery, a return costs you twice.
The courier drives out and back. Someone refunds by hand. The item waits in a box until someone checks it. And the customer who only wanted a different size often just leaves.
- The trip
- Shipping out and back is paid whether or not the order was a good one.
- The paperwork
- Wallet numbers in chats, refunds typed by hand, and nobody sure what was already paid.
- The lost sale
- The customer asked for a size M. They got a refund instead of a size M.
02How it works
Four steps from “I want to return this” to money settled.
The customer finds the order
Order number plus the email or phone already on it. No account, no password.
Chooses what and how
Which items and why, what they want instead, and courier or branch. Fees are shown before they send.
You review
Approve, decline or ask for more information, item by item. Stock for an exchange is held in Shopify while you decide.
Receive, inspect, settle
Scan the parcel, check each unit, and the money moves once: a Shopify refund, a gift card, or a payout a second person confirms.
