Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureReturnKey shows you who is behind your refunds and which products they come from. It reads your Shopify refunds and returns, ranks your worst-returning products, and flags customers whose refund patterns deserve a second look, like repeat returners and rapid refunds. It only flags. You decide what to do. Your last 60 days of refunds import at install, so the dashboard starts full on day one.
Most merchants lack visibility into why returns happen and which products drive the most refund volume. ReturnSense imports order and refund data to surface return rates, amounts, and trends by product, variant, and reason code. Review return requests, approve, reject, or propose alternatives to save the sale. Configure return policies with auto-approval rules and exchange handling.
