Set up AI for Shopify returns and refund tickets: write your rules, set permissions and approval limits, and know which cases a human should always handle.
LatestA refund policy that's too strict generates chargebacks. One that's too loose drains margin. Here's how to write one that does neither.

How Shopify brands handle returns defines their repeat purchase rate. A great returns experience costs less and retains more than brands expect.

Sometimes the return freight is dumber than the SKU. Write the keep threshold so the agent can do it.

Loop takes the portal. The agent should not start a parallel email return that double-refunds.

Cosmetics, underwear, earrings. The agent must not apply a t-shirt return script.

They bought Monday, it went on sale Thursday. Your price-adjustment window is a marketing decision. Write it.

Warranty is not a return. Different clock, different remedy, different photos.

Most brands mean delivery. Most pages say '30 days' with no noun. That ambiguity is a ticket factory.

Final sale only works if the badge was on the product, the cart, and the policy. The agent should check all three.

They want $10 off because a strap arrived scuffed. Decide if the agent can price that.

Credit is better for cash. Refund is better for trust. Write when the agent may offer each.
