Platform

Everything your team needs to decide faster.

Purpose-built for merchants who treat returns as a margin line item—not an afterthought.

Real Shopify returns

Each row ties to a live Return in Admin—status, line context, and parent order in one place.

Explainable risk scoring

Value, payment state, fulfillment, and customer signals surface as reasons, not a black box.

Playbooks that match your policy

No-code rules for thresholds, repeat patterns, and escalation—without leaving the embedded app.

Decision trail & analytics

Approvals, holds, and reviews are recorded for compliance, coaching, and trending dashboards.

Billing-ready plans

Starter to scale tiers so you can align packaging with how serious the merchant is about refunds.

Built for embedded Admin

Runs where your team already works—Polaris-aligned UI inside Shopify without context switching.

How it works

From install to disciplined triage—in three moves.

  1. 01

    Connect & scope

    Install on your dev or production shop; approvals use standard Shopify OAuth and scopes.

  2. 02

    Tune thresholds

    Adjust review and hold bands, playbook rules, and what “risky” means for your catalog.

  3. 03

    Operate the queue

    Triage returns, log decisions in one click, export or analyze without spreadsheets.
