From returns to exchanges: Stop losing, start saving

Encourage exchanges to retain revenue

Turn refund requests into retained sales with smarter exchange paths. Offer relevant alternatives and incentives that keep customers buying, not backing out. Our customers see a 30% increase in retained return revenue.

Reduce return costs

Take control of return costs with flexible fee options and discounted shipping labels. Set up restocking fees that make sense for your business, offer customers affordable return choices, and watch your return expenses shrink.

Lower return volume and rate

Prevent unnecessary returns by showing customers smarter choices—like size swaps or similar products—before they hit “refund.” Fewer returns, happier customers.

Deliver a shopping-like exchange experience

Make returns feel more like discovery than disappointment. Offer an on-brand portal that helps customers explore better-fit products. No frustrating forms or confusing steps, just an experience that keeps them excited about your brand.

Protect your profit margins with smart exchanges

When every return becomes a cash refund without cost recovery, you're essentially giving away profit margins twice. We turn return requests into retained sales while reducing processing costs through smart automation and fee strategies.
Smart exchange recommendations

Smart exchange recommendations

We use Shopify's recommendation engine to show customers products they'll actually want. Instead of guessing, it suggests items based on what they've bought before and what similar customers picked.
When they choose something new, payment works behind the scenes—no hassles, just exchanges that work.

Flexible exchange types to retain more revenue

Cover all kinds of exchanges. Customers can swap sizes or colors, switch to different products, or return part of a bundle while keeping what they want. Their discounts stick around, so they keep the deals they got.
And here's the smart bit: when customers are choosing their return option, we show them rewards for picking exchanges over refunds.

43%
Fewer return inquiries

As Ever‑Pretty scaled globally, long production times and delayed deliveries created anxiety for customers. Without visibility into shipments or an efficient returns process, the support team was swamped with “Where is my order?” and refund-related inquiries.

To fix this, Ever‑Pretty implemented ParcelPanel’s Order Tracking and Returns & Exchanges solutions. Customers now track orders and manage returns on their own, while the team uses automation and analytics to save time and recover revenue. The result: WISMO tickets dropped 68%, return questions fell 43%, and over 54% of refund value was recovered.

If I could give 100 Stars for this App, I would. We can't fault the amazing and we mean AMAZING customer service and support. Developers who truly listen to the needs of their customers. 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 do I set up different return options and control which ones customers see first?

You have complete control over your return solution offerings and their priority order. In the return solutions settings, you can enable and arrange multiple options including variant exchanges, refunds to original payment methods, store credit/discount refunds, exchanges for different items, and gift card refunds.

The system displays these options to customers in the order you set, allowing you to guide them toward your preferred solutions like exchanges over refunds.

How does the smart exchange recommendation system work?

The system offers multiple recommendation approaches that you can flexibly prioritize. Beyond Shopify's built-in recommendation engine, you can also configure recommendations from all products, specific collections, or variant exchanges (different sizes/colors of the same item).

These recommendation logics can be arranged in your preferred priority order to show customers the most relevant alternatives based on their purchase history and what similar customers have chosen.

icon
What cost recovery options are available to protect my margins?

You have multiple tools to recover return costs and protect your profit margins. You can set custom restocking fees and return shipping charges that make sense for your business.

ParcelPanel returns provides access to discounted return labels through carrier partnerships. You can also offer free returns as a premium service that customers pay for upfront. Additionally, you can create custom incentives like badges, special discounts, or rewards that nudge customers toward exchanges rather than refunds, essentially turning returns into potential upsells.

icon
Will this system handle different types of exchanges my customers might want?

Yes, the system supports all kinds of flexible exchange scenarios. Customers can swap sizes or colors of the same product, switch to completely different products, or return part of a bundle while keeping items they want.

It handles payment adjustments automatically - whether customers need to pay extra for a higher-priced item or receive partial credit for a lower-priced exchange. You can also set up custom exchange incentives to encourage customers to choose higher-value replacements, helping improve your margins on each exchange.
