Returns that keep customers coming back.

Customers request, you approve, the prepaid label goes out, and the refund lands — back on their card or as store credit. No separate returns app, no extra subscription.

Returns processing

Every return, from request to refund cleared.

Return requests

Customers start it, you decide

A customer requests a return and it lands in your dashboard with the order, the items, and the reason. Approve or decline — with your reason recorded — without leaving the page.

Refunds

Original payment method, or store credit

Refund back to whatever the customer paid with — or offer store credit instead, which keeps the money in your shop. Either way the refund record is stored against the order.

Return reasons

Reasons that fit what you sell

Set the list customers choose from — wrong size, damaged in transit, ordered the wrong colour. Filter returns by reason later to spot the patterns worth fixing.

Return timeline

The whole story, on one record

Every step — the request, your decision, the item arriving, the refund — sits on a timeline against the return. When a customer calls, the answer is one glance away.

The pipeline

Five statuses. No mystery.

Every return is in exactly one of these states, and both you and the customer can see which. Declines and cancellations branch off cleanly, with the reason kept.

1Requested

The customer asks, with a reason from your list.

2Approved

You say yes — or decline, with your reason recorded.

3Items received

The parcel is back. Check it over before any money moves.

4Completed

Refund issued — original payment method or store credit.

Off-ramps at any point: Declined by you, or Cancelled by the customer — both kept on the return timeline.

Why it feels different

Returns built into the platform, not bolted on top.

Returns are where most platforms hand you a bill for another app. Three things make the Orbit version feel different to use.

01 / 03

Refunds the customer chooses to keep

Refund to the original payment method, or offer store credit — money that comes back to your shop as a future order rather than leaving for good. Both options, per return.

02 / 03

Prepaid return labels

Generate a prepaid return shipping label for the customer instead of telling them to sort their own postage. Fewer abandoned returns, fewer parcels that never arrive.

03 / 03

No add-on app to pay for

On most platforms, returns means a separate subscription stacked on top of your monthly plan. On Orbit, returns sit in the same dashboard as your orders and customers.

Upstream

Every return starts as an order. See how those work too.

Manual orders, filters, fulfilment, shipping, and tags — connected to the same customer record the return came from, so the whole story stays in one place.
