RETURN RULE #1
Offer paid returns during sale periods
A clearance or sale period can boost your sales. Unfortunately, that often means a boost in returns as well. You want to prevent your return costs from exceeding the profit from your sale. Therefore, many of our customers, especially fashion webshops, often choose to only offer paid returns during a sale.
RETURN RULE #2
Product under a certain value? > Return without shipment
Sometimes returns are not profitable at all. Average return costs are +/- € 12,50. Maybe your store's return costs are even higher! Our advice? Look at the average return costs of your store. Is the product value lower? Then it's simply cheaper to let your customer keep the product. Plus, your customer probably thinks it's a good service too!
Now we hear you thinking, "Once our customers figure that out, we'll soon be giving everything away for free!" But we have thought of that!
You can set up a fraud module. If a customer places such return requests multiple times, the fraude module makes sure that this Return Rule will no longer apply to them.
RETURN RULE #3
Free returns when maintaining a minimal order value
Returns will always be a part of e-commerce. Therefore it is important to reward customers who do keep a large part of their order. Has your customer placed a large order and they only return one single item? If you make them pay for returns, it may deter them from making another large purchase. Instead, reward them for keeping a large portion of their order, and offer them a free return label.
