RETURNS IN AI COMMERCE

Make every return as easy as the purchase

Self-service returns

Shoppers start and finish a return on your site, instead of waiting on a support reply.

Return policy up front

Every item shows whether it can be returned, so nobody hunts through a terms page.

Return options that fit

Offer a locker, a shop, or a pick-up from home, whichever suits the shopper.

FEATURES

Here's how you keep the customer and the margin on every return

Let customers return right from your website

No separate portal and email exchanges – customers start the return, pick the items, and choose a drop-off method from your website.

  • When an order is delivered, the tracking page turns into the return form
  • Track returns from parcel drop-off all the way to refund processed
  • Proactive notifications to inform customers when return is approved, time to drop off, refund on its way.
Returns portal on a brand's own website: a delivered order turned into a return form, with items selected and a drop-off method chosen.

Reward loyal customers with an easy exchange

You keep the customer and the sale, they get the item they wanted — without a refund-and-reorder round trip.

  • Connect your inventory system and show customers what’s available for exchange
  • Offer flexible refund alternatives, including store credits or a gift card
  • Show the returns fee customers need to pay, so the refund amount is never a surprise

Run your returns policy inside the form, not on a terms page no one reads

Customers see what can be returned right away, so fewer requests reach your service team

  • Every item gets tagged eligible for return or not
  • Automate workflows for approvals, rejections, and manual reviews.
  • Set rules for peak season, VIP customers, or country-specific exceptions.

Automatic fraud detection that tells you why it flagged a return

Every return is checked against shipment, carrier and return history, so you get alerted to the suspicious ones.

  • Understand why the return got flagged – a weight mismatch, ten returns in two weeks
  • Suspicious requests skip auto-approval
  • See the customer's full history before you approve or reject a return

Give customers a return option they'll find convenient

Offer drop-offs at lockers, in-store return, home pick-up or the label in the box

  • One PUDO API lets customers search for the nearest drop-off locker, shop, or post office in the returns portal
  • Cut returns shipping spend by routing to the cheapest carrier that meets your rules
  • Automatically book the return carrier service on your negotiated rates
