How it sells itself

Automated returns and exchanges from start to finish. Customers submit requests through a branded portal that validates orders and queues them in your inbox. Approve in one click and the refund, courier pickup, and customer notifications fire automatically. What used to take 15 minutes per return takes 30 seconds. Built for stores that want returns out of email threads, spreadsheets, and 5 separate dashboards.

Rankify gives you complete automated control over your store's merchandising. Stop manually reordering collections, set custom rule sets that adjust product positions in real time based on inventory, sales velocity, margins, and tags. Automatically push sold-out products to the bottom and pin high-margin items to the top to keep your storefront engaging.

Key points
  • Bulk reorder products across multiple collections using CSV upload
  • Smart fuzzy matching finds products even with slight name variations
  • Preview product position changes before applying them to live collections
  • Automatic verification and retry logic ensures successful reordering
  • Optimize collection sorting automatically by tags, selling, and much more..
  • Dynamic logic adjusts collection ordering as product data changes
  • Create collection sorting rule sets and apply them to any number of collections
