Returns | Tips to process refunds

At Bigblue, we provide you with tools to ease your refund process.

• Manage your Action required returns in the Bigblue App
• [Shopify] View your returns on Shopify

Manage your Action required returns in the Bigblue App

In the Bigblue App, returns that appear with the Action required status are the ones that were received and controlled at the warehouse, and that need your attention to process to Closed.

In Orders > Returns, you can filter the list of all returns to see only those in Action required.

From there, you can, for each return that appears in the list:

• Click the return to open its details.
• Refund the order (from the Bigblue Order page for Shopify orders, or from your CMS), or proceed with another resolution (reship items or issue a manual store credit).
• If the return is not closed automatically (for example, when the refund is not processed in Shopify), close the return manually in Bigblue using the Close return button.

[Shopify] View your returns on Shopify

For Merchants using Shopify, for each return, we push the following data to the Shopify order:

• A/ the return (that appears in the associated order) for which we update the status
• B/ some tags once an order is reviewed at the warehouse.

A/ Shopify Return

• Once the return is created on the return portal, we create the return card on the Shopify order
• Once a return is controlled at the warehouse, we update the Shopify return status and add the warehouse control result to the return card

Store credit or Exchange returns are not sync to Shopify

Due to a Shopify limitation, we don't sync some returns to Shopify

• Store credit returns
• Exchange returns
• Carrier returns

Shopify incorrectly marks on these returns that a "Refund is owed". To avoid the risk of double refunds (via a store credit and via a refund), we no longer sync these returns to Shopify.

B/ Shopify Order Tags

Use these tags in Shopify to create order views.
