Hey there! Today, we’re walking you through how to process returns. Let’s get into it!

Starting the Return

First, open up the order that needs a return.

d

In the top-right corner, click the Select Action menu.

Click 'Select Action'

Then, hit Start Return, and you’re in!

Click 'Start Return'

Note: You won’t be able to start a return if there’s a balance due remaining. The balance must be $0 to proceed.

Click 'Notes  add Add Notes 
                info'

For credit line orders, the payment must be fully paid before you can start a return.

Click 'Notes  add Add Notes info'

Order Return Menu

Once you proceed, pick the return date.

Click here

By default, all items will be unselected, so let’s change that.

Click here

Check the box next to the model name,

Click here

then adjust the quantity to match the original purchase.

Click '1'

You’ll see the Total Return amount update automatically.

Click '1'

Want to include the fulfillment type and protection plan in the refund? You can check those too!

Click here

You can also only return the unit's fulfillment type,

Fill '[object Object]'

or protection plan,

Click here

or both without having to return the unit.

Click here

If the order included a haul away service, there will be an option to return it. Simply select it during the return process to refund the haul away amount.

Need to charge the customer for a delivery fee? You can—but only reduce the amount, not increase it.

Click here

Deciding on a restocking fee? Just check the box and set the fee amount. You can also adjust the percentage in your settings to automatically calculate restocking costs.

Click 'Restocking fee charge
                                       attach_money'

Full Returns vs. Partial Returns

Now, let’s talk about full vs. partial returns:

Full Return:

A full return means everything is refunded, including the unit and any add-ons.

d

Partial Return:

A partial return means only part of the order is refunded. There are a few ways to do this:

  • the first one is refunding a custom amount—if you don’t want to refund the full price of the unit, you can type in the exact amount you want to return.

Click 'attach_money'

  • The second one is returning fewer items than originally ordered—for example, if the customer bought five units but is only returning two.

d

Quick Selection & Return Status

If you want to make things faster, Click Select All to check every box at once,

Click here

or Deselect All to start over.

d

If a product is already scheduled for delivery but needs to be returned, hit Unscheduled All to cancel the delivery without leaving the return menu.

d

Once this is done, the unit status will change to Open, meaning it’s ready to return.

Click here

You can only process a return if the unit status is either In-Transit, Delivered, or Open, so make sure the status meets one of these conditions before proceeding. For In-Transit orders, a return is possible only if the delivery method is No Routing Delivery.

Click '1 Choose Product'

Final Steps

Don’t forget to fill in the reason for return—this is required!

Click here

Next, select the payment method for the refund.

d

For credit line orders, the refund will automatically go back to the credit line if the balance hasn’t been fully paid. If the credit line is fully paid, you’ll have the option to choose other payment methods for the refund.

d

Before moving forward, double-check the total refund amount—it should match what the customer originally paid. If it doesn’t, an item might be missing from the return. Go back and verify that all models and add-ons are selected.

d

Once everything looks good, click Refund Payment.

Click 'Refund Payment'

Reviewing the Return

Now, you’ll see the order update with the return details.

Click 'Notes  add Add Notes info'

The refunded items will be shaded in red, including the model, installation, and warranty.

Click 'Notes  add Add Notes info'

For partial returns, they will be specifically labeled as Partial Return.

Click 'Notes  add Add Notes info'

Click the arrow button to expand and check return details.

Click 'Notes  add Add Notes info'

Here you have detailed info about the return.

This is especially useful for partial returns, where you might need to review the exact items or amounts refunded.

Lastly, the subtotal section will update to reflect the return.

Click 'Notes  add Add Notes info'

And that’s it! You’re now a pro at processing returns. See you in the next tutorial!
