How To: Manage Return Requests

To handle a particular request, click the gear button corresponding to the request and choose Edit. This will open the request details (split into four tabs):

• Return products information—the list of products from the request that are or will be approved for the return.
• Declined products information—the list of products from the request that are or will be declined for the return.
• Comments—the comments about the requested return; the customer will be able to see these comments.
• Actions—the actions that you can perform on the return request.
