<h3>Three Resolution Types: Refund, Exchange, or Store Credit</h3>
<p>Offer customers more than just refunds. Issue refunds to the original payment method, process product exchanges (same or different SKU), or issue store credit to retain the revenue.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Refund to original payment method (Stripe, PayPal, etc.)</strong></li>
<li><strong>Product exchanges (same or different variant)</strong></li>
<li><strong>Store credit issuance with automatic balance tracking</strong></li>
<li><strong>Cross-product exchanges (different category)</strong></li>
<li><strong>Partial refunds for damaged or used items</strong></li>
<li><strong>Customer chooses preferred resolution or admin decides</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/resolution-type.png" alt="Three Resolution Types: Refund, Exchange, or Store Credit" /></p>

<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/returns-analytics-dashboard.png" alt="Returns Analytics Dashboard" /></p>
<h3>Restrict Returns by Payment Method</h3>
<p>Different payment methods have different refund constraints. Block returns for cash on delivery, gift cards, or bank transfers if your business requires it. Set per-method return eligibility to match your operational reality.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Enable/disable returns per payment gateway</strong></li>
<li><strong>Block returns on COD orders if needed</strong></li>
<li><strong>Restrict returns on gift card purchases</strong></li>

</ul>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/restrict-by-payment.png" alt="Restrict Returns by Payment Method" /></p>
<h3>Restocking Fee Deducted from Refund</h3>
<p>Apply restocking fees to returns to recover handling costs. Set a flat fee or percentage, automatically deducted from the refund amount. Configurable per product, category, or return reason.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Flat fee or percentage-based restocking fee</strong></li>
<li><strong>Per-product, category, or global rules</strong></li>

<h3>Custom Return Windows & Eligibility Rules</h3>
<p>Define exactly when and what can be returned. Set return windows by product, category, or order status. Exclude sale items, discounted products, digital goods, or specific SKUs from returns.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Global return window (14, 30, 60, 90 days)</strong></li>

<h3>Skip Return Shipping with “Keep the Item”</h3>
<p>For low-value items, return shipping often costs more than the product. Offer customers the option to keep the item while still receiving their refund or store credit. Better customer experience, lower operational cost.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Auto-trigger for items below configured value</strong></li>
<li><strong>Per-product manual override available</strong></li>
<li><strong>Customer keeps item + receives full resolution</strong></li>
