Buying Shopify Shipping return labels

Return labels help you recover inventory that a customer no longer wants. If your business lets customers return products, then you can send your customer a return shipping label so they can send the product back to you.

If yourdefault locationis in the United States, then you can create and send return labels in your Shopify admin. After you create a return label, you can send it by email directly from the Shopify admin or copy a link to print the label. Return labels are only available for domestic orders in the United States.

If yourdefault locationisn't in the United States, then you need to purchase return labels directly through a shipping carrier or through ashipping app.

Supported addresses

Return labels are available only for US domestic orders. They aren't available for US military addresses, US territories, or international addresses.

To create return labels for international addressees, US military addresses, or US territories that require a customs form, you can choose one of the following options:

• Order one directly from a shipping carrier.
• Use a third-party service.
• Use an app from theShopify App Store.

Supported shipping carriers

You can purchase return labels from USPS at discounted rates through Shopify Shipping.

If you’veconnected your UPS account to Shopify, then you cancreate UPS return labels using your own account ratesand you are billed directly by UPS.

设置您的退货政策

If your business offers returns, then add information about returns to yourrefund policy in your Shopify store. Customers can read and understand your return policy before ordering from your business so they know what to expect if they want to return a product.

Pay for return labels

Return labels use a technology called pay on scan. This means that the shipping carrier weighs and measures the package when they receive it, and then calculates the cost. A return label isn't considered purchased until it's scanned by a shipping carrier, and you aren't charged for the label until the shipment is marked as delivered.

The cost of a return label is added to your Shopify account after the carrier scans the package. Your account is charged when you reach a billing threshold that's determined by your current Shopify subscription plan.

Create and send a return label

You can create a return label from the order page in your Shopify admin or the Shopify app. To create a return label, you need at least one item to be fulfilled in your order. After you create a return label, you can send it to your customers, or by sending them a link to print the label.

Steps:

After the label is scanned by the shipping carrier, the new return shipping address becomes the default address for future return labels.
