We turned to this App because other "return" apps just didn't meet our needs for us to be able to provide a seamless customer experience, but Parcel Panel Returns & Exchanges has filled the gap in the market. Thank You!!

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to offer return protection, and how do I know if it's worth it?

You set your own budget and rules. Use our suggested formulas to estimate costs, or set fixed amounts per order. Most merchants find that increased conversion rates and repeat purchases offset return shipping costs within the first quarter. You can start with minimum order thresholds or specific customer segments to test the impact before expanding.

How complicated is setup? Do I need a developer?

Setup takes minutes, not hours. The return protection integrates with your existing ParcelPanel Returns & Exchanges setup—no coding required. The widget auto-adapts to your store theme, though you can add custom CSS if desired. If you're already using ParcelPanel, you just configure your return protection rules and activate the feature.

icon
Can I change my return protection policy later or create different rules for different products?

Yes, you have flexible control over your policies. Change minimum order amounts, adjust customer eligibility, exclude certain products, or modify the number of return protection per order anytime. You can create different rules for different customer segments, product categories, or even seasonal campaigns. The system applies your current rules to new orders while honoring previous commitments.

icon
How do I track whether return protection are actually helping my business?

The system provides analytics to help you measure the impact of your return protection strategy. You can track key metrics like return protection sales, return shipping costs, and return values to see the direct financial impact.
