Onboarding for Loop - Essential Plan
Overview

Basic setup
Review General Settings
Go to the general settings page in your Loop admin and adjust settings as necessary. General settings are applied to all returns.
Review and set up additional Return Policies
Your Onboarding Specialist will use your pre-onboarding survey responses to setup your domestic return policy. Additional international return policies can be setup using these directions.
Configure your Shipping Settings
US/Canada/UK/EU Shipping - connect via Ship By Loop
International Shipping - consult your Onboarding Specialist for best practice
If you are using labels for cross-border returns, please ensure your products are customs ready.
Stripe is required if you charge handling/shipping fees on exchange orders. If you are not charging fees for exchanges you do not need to connect Stripe.
Review the customizations completed by your Onboarding Specialist and adjust as needed.
Advanced setup
Review the best practice workflows added to your Loop instance, and make adjustments as needed. Build additional workflows to accommodate scenarios falling outside of a typical return policy.
Offer new product exchange options based on collections or tags set up in Shopify. This feature is typically used when colors/sizes are set as separate products rather than variants in Shopify. This feature does not support upsell or refunds.
Order Editing allows shoppers to modify orders after checkout to reduce support burden and drive incremental revenue.
Loop Intelligence
Loop Intelligence is how Loop helps you make more consistent, confident post-purchase decisions over time. Instead of only showing you what happened in the past, Intelligence uses real signals from your returns and exchanges activity to help determine what should happen next. This allows you to reduce risk, protect revenue, and spend less time on manual review.
Fraud Tools
Loop Fraud Tools combine the intelligence of Loop’s in-house foundation model with real-time post-purchase data to stop fraudulent behavior before it hurts your brand.
Return Policy Insights
Whenever relevant insights are available for specific sections of a return policy, they will automatically appear to guide merchants. The goal is to provide helpful context—boosting confidence in decisions around key elements like setting fees or defining return windows.
