Frequently asked questions
Will this work for partial returns when customers only want to return some items from their order?
This workflow processes returns at the order level, so customers would need to specify which items they're returning in the reason field. You could customize the form to include checkboxes for individual line items or add a text field where customers can specify exactly which products they want to return.
Can I set up different return policies for different product types or price ranges?
Yes, you can add conditional logic steps that check the order total or product tags to route returns through different approval processes. For example, returns under $50 could auto-approve while higher-value returns require manual review before sending customer confirmation.
What happens if a customer submits multiple return requests for the same order?
Each form submission creates a separate entry in your tracking spreadsheet and sends new notifications to your team. You might want to add a filter step that checks for duplicate order IDs in your spreadsheet before processing to prevent multiple return requests for the same order.
