Returns Processing
Returns Processing helps online stores and sellers manage returned products without slowing down daily operations or relying on manual coordination.
Returned items are collected from the customer or another approved location, checked and sorted based on condition. Products that are still suitable for sale can move back into inventory, while damaged goods can be redirected for reconditioning or separate handling.
The objective is to keep returns moving efficiently so products can quickly re-enter the fulfillment flow or be routed to the appropriate next step.
How Returns Processing Operates
Collection, Inspection and Sorting
The return workflow follows a direct courier-based process where products are picked up, checked and routed according to their condition.
- Courier pickup of returned products
- Basic condition and package inspection
- Sorting sellable goods back into stock
- Routing damaged items for reconditioning
- Separation of unusable products
- Confirmation after return handling is completed
