Reimbursements

The Reimbursements feature allows you to save time by automating reimbursements for duties and shipping directly within Loop and deliver a more seamless experience to your customers.

When this feature is enabled, you have the option, right in your return policy, to choose whether or not customers will be reimbursed for duties and/or shipping on refund and/or store credit outcomes. 

You can also choose to set a time window from date of fulfillment from which to enable this functionality. For example, refund shipping if submitted within 14 days of purchase

Customers are then given clear visibility into duties and/or shipping refunds in the totals section on the review page and return status page
