DESCRIPTION

Return shipments without email ping-pong: your customers register returns on their own, right from the order in the customer account or as a guest with order number and email address. They choose products, quantity and reason, attach photos and get the DHL or UPS return label at once, for DHL also as a QR code to drop the parcel off without a printer.

In the administration every return shipment has a page of its own: status with steps, messages with the customer, checking and ticking off the products, refund with a document, free replacement delivery and a complete history. Checked goods go back into stock or on sale again as b-stock, and dashboard, statistics and product hints help you keep returns from happening in the first place.

The problem you know

  • Returns by email. The customer writes, you ask for order number, product and reason, send a label by hand and later search for the mail again.
  • No overview. Which return shipment has arrived, which waits for an answer, which is refunded already? It is spread over the inbox, notes and spreadsheets.
  • Labels take time. Every return label is created in the portal of the carrier, typed off and sent.
  • Refunds by hand. Amounts, shipping costs and deductions are calculated, a document is missing, and the stock is wrong afterwards.
  • Returned goods pile up. Opened or slightly damaged goods can no longer be sold as new and end up on the shelf.
  • The cause stays unknown. Which product comes back and why? Without figures it shows only when the margin is gone already.

How the extension solves it

  • Registered in a few clicks. From the order in the customer account or as a guest through the login to the order. One form for products, quantity, reason, procedure, comment and photos, with every entry checked.
  • Labels automatically. DHL and UPS with your credentials per country and sales channel. The label is created on sending, free or chargeable, and arrives by mail and on the page of the return shipment.
  • One page per return shipment. Head with customer, order and shipping, status with steps and a hint on what to do now, messages, labels, documents and history.
  • Check, refund, replace. Record condition and way per product, book the stock, refund with a document or a credit in the order, free replacement delivery as a new order at 0 €.
  • Sell b-stock. Offer checked returns with a condition and a price of their own next to the new goods, with a position of their own in cart and order.
  • Avoid returns. Dashboard and statistics show return rate, reasons and comments per product. From conspicuous reasons the extension suggests hints for the buy box.

The benefits at a glance

  • Fewer mails and no labels by hand.
  • Every return shipment in one place, with status, messages and history.
  • Refunded properly, with a document and the right stock.
  • Turn returns into money as b-stock instead of writing them off.
  • Fewer returns thanks to figures and hints at the right products.

Typical use cases

Fashion and shoes: The customer sends two sizes back, one does not fit, one is not liked. He registers both with a reason, prints the DHL label or shows the QR code at the branch. You book the unworn goods into stock and refund with one click.

Faulty electronics: For "Product defective" you require photos and a comment. Return shipments with this reason wait for your approval, only then is there a label. You send a new device free of charge.

Opened goods: A return has a damaged box. You sell it as b-stock in the condition "Opened, like new" with a 20 % discount, right on the product page next to the new goods.

Guests without an account: You link the page "Return shipments" in the footer. The guest logs in with order number and postal code and creates the return shipment without opening an account.

A conspicuous product: A shirt often comes back with "Runs too small". The extension suggests a hint, and from now on the buy box says: "Runs one size small."

Features in detail

Creating a return shipment

In the customer account there is the page "Return shipments" with the tabs All, Active and Closed. From every order the customer creates a return shipment: per product quantity, reason and procedure, a comment and up to three photos or files, required or optional per reason. Products that cannot go back are shown in the form with the reason, such as "Already sent back with return shipment 50231". Pieces sent back before are deducted, and the check is the same for storefront, Store API and administration.

Without a customer account

Guests and customers who are not logged in open the page "Return shipments" under an address of its own per language, such as /returns. With order number and email address or postal code they log in to their order. The login is slowed down like the guest login of Shopware and in the session is valid for this order only.

Shipping and labels

  • DHL and UPS with credentials per country and sales channel, checkable in the administration.
  • Choice when creating: DHL, UPS or shipping oneself, with logo and price.
  • Label on sending, for DHL on request with a QR code, several parcels per return shipment, also from the administration and by mail.
  • Free or chargeable, with a minimum value of goods and a deadline of its own from the delivery status.
  • Tracking as a link to the carrier, a log of the requests in the event logs of Shopware.

The page of the return shipment

The customer sees the state like a parcel tracking, with the date of every step and the text of the status. Plus return document and labels, messages with files, the result of the check of every product, refunds with their document and replacement deliveries. Two designs are available per sales channel: "Modern" with a coloured head, a process chain and cards, or "Standard" like the other account pages of Shopware. The colours come from your theme.

In the administration

Under Orders › Return shipments the extension has a menu of its own with a side bar: dashboard, statistics, return shipments, b-stock, product hints, processes, shipping and system.

  • List with products and value of goods, status as a chip, approval, open reply, reason and shipping, filters and CSV export.
  • Return shipment with head card, status card with steps, products, messages and internal notes, labels and documents, history.
  • Creating in the administration as a window at the order, with message, label and "approve right away".
  • Tab "Return shipments" at order, product and customer, with return rate, reasons, variants and list.

Statuses, approval and processes

Statuses get a type, a colour, a text for the customer, a hint for the team and the choice whether they appear in the steps and send a mail. The approval is off by default and can be switched on for all return shipments or by conditions: a rule of the Rule Builder, reasons, procedures, the way of shipping or the number of return shipments of a customer. Reasons, procedures, conditions and the checklist are maintained in a menu of their own.

Check, refund and replacement delivery

Per product you record what the customer says, the condition and a note, also for several products at once. Then the way: back into stock, as b-stock or compensation only. The refund suggests the amounts of the order, takes own lines such as shipping costs or a deduction and creates the document "Refund" or, if you like, credit positions in the order. The free replacement delivery creates a new order at 0 € to the addresses of the order. Afterwards the window suggests the fitting delivery status of the order.

B-stock

Offers per variant with a condition, a short description in every language, a price and a stock of their own. In the shop a box below the buy button shows the offers next to the price of the new goods. B-stock becomes a position of its own in cart, order and documents. Plus the rule "Cart contains b-stock" and filters for dynamic product groups.

Dashboard, statistics and product hints

The dashboard shows four key figures compared to the previous period, tasks with a link into the filtered list, open return shipments by status, the history and the most conspicuous reasons and products. The statistics go deeper in seven tabs: history, reasons, products, customers, countries, shipping and processing. If a reason at a product goes over your thresholds, it appears in the suggestions for product hints. A hint appears in the buy box above "Add to shopping cart", for all variants and in every language.

Mails and Flow Builder

Nine mail templates in the style of the Shopware mails with the status in its colour and the products as a table. Each comes from a flow, triggered by events of their own: return shipment created, approved, status changed, label created, message from shop or customer, products checked and refund saved.

Setup and help

A setup assistant guides through the most important settings in nine steps, with a preview of both designs. Every page of the administration has a "Help" button that explains every column, filter and field. For shops without storefront there are Store API routes for the login to the order, the creation, the return document and the labels.

Note on the update from 8.x

Return shipments, reasons, procedures, statuses, credentials and settings are taken over. The pages for customers then show the design "Modern". Roles without administrator rights need the new permission "Use return shipments (full access)". Please test the update in a staging environment first, above all with an own theme.

Man kann das Plugin uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Die Funktionalitäten sind durchdacht und die Konfiguration ist intuitiv. Auf eine Supportanfrage bzgl. Änderungen bei der UPS-Anbindung wurde sehr schnell und kompetent reagiert. Die Kosten für das Plugin könnten niedriger sein, was aber auch an der Umstellung auf das Mietmodell von Seiten Shopware liegt.

Das Plugin führt einen vom Kunden bedienbaren Retourenprozess ein. Außerdem unterstützt des den internen Bearbeitungsprozess. Das spart eine Menge Arbeit und wird vom Shopbetreiber gut angenommen. Das Plugin wird außerdem noch verbessert! So wünschen wir uns Plugins!

Fehlende Grundfunktionalität
2.5

Average rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars

by Marc-Stephan Müller
16 March 2023 22:24
Dem Plugin fehlt es leider an einer Grundfunktionalität, denn es funktioniert nicht mit Teilweise versendeten Bestellungen. Dies ist allerdings für wohl jeden Shop eine Grundfunktion, welche andere Plugins abdecken. Dies ist sehr schade, da das Plugin sonst gut aufgebaut ist. Der Support reagiert schnell, verlangt aber für die Funktion eines zweiten Lieferstatus zu setzten (um eine Grundfunktionalität zu ergänzen) 1.000€ plus Mwst. Dies steht für uns in keinem Verhältnis zum Aufwand. Andere gleichwertige Pluginhersteller haben uns bereits weitaus umfangreichere Erweiterungen (welche keine Grundfunktionalität darstellten) für andere nachvollziehbarere Kurse entwickelt. Schade, da es sonst ein gutes Plugin ist.

Hallo Herr Müller,
vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung!

Wie bereits sehr ausführlich mit dem Support besprochen, möchte ich auch hier gerne noch einmal auf die gewünschte Erweiterung des Plugins eingehen. Problematisch ist nämlich nicht einfach ein weiterer Status, sondern die Prozesse hinter der Implementierung von Teilsendungen innerhalb des Plugins. Sie wünschen, dass das Plugin die Status "Vollständig versendet" und "Teilweise versendet" (z.B. für Fristen) unterstützt. Das führt allerdings unweigerlich zu zahlreichen konzeptionellen Problemen:

1.) Bei der Integration eines "Teilweise versendet" Status dürften sinnvollerweise auch nur die Produkte retourniert werden, die auch bereits versendet wurden. In diesem Fall müssten also alle Produkte markiert werden, die innerhalb der Teillieferung enthalten sind. Leider unterstützt Shopware derzeit keinen Lieferstatus auf Produktebene.

2.) Das würde dazu führen, dass jeder Shopbetreiber diese Prozesse mitgehen muss und zwingend jedes Produkt als versendet markieren muss, damit diese Produkte retourniert werden können. Das führt zu einer unnötigen Komplexität für alle anderen Nutzer des Plugins.

3.) Wenn man Ihre Anforderungen weiter durchdenkt, dann müsste man auch mehrere Teilsendungen unterstützen - falls ein Shopbetreiber eine Bestellung in drei, vier oder fünf Paketen verschickt. Hier ist fraglich, wie das innerhalb von Shopware abgebildet werden soll.

4.) Sämtliche Fristen des Plugins (z.B. Rücksendung anlegen nur 14 Tage ab Versand oder Label ab 50,- EUR Warenwert) müssten auf Produktebene greifen. So kann es zwischen mehreren Teilsendungen vorkommen, dass manche Produkte retournierbar sind und manche eben nicht - selbst wenn diese bereits auf dem Tisch des Kunden vor ihm liegen. Die wenigsten Kunden würden das Verhalten des Plugins verstehen ohne eine dreiseitge FAQ zu lesen.

Am Rande: was eine "Grundfunktionalität" darstellt liegt meist im Auge des Betrachters und ist oft sehr subjektiv. Manche erwarten Retourenprozesse bereits vollständig in Shopware integriert, ein Getränkehändler wundert sich über fehlende Pfand-Angaben und -Prozesse im Plugin, ein international sehr aktiver Shopbetreiber erwartet die Generierung von Labels für Kunden aus Simbabwe.

Fazit: Ihre Anforderungen mögen auf den ersten Blick sinnvoll erscheinen, aber werden sicherlich nicht durch die Aufnahme eines weiteren gültigen Status gelöst. Die Konsequenzen eines zusätzlichen Status würden nur für alle (Shopbetreiber und Kunden) zu einer unnötigen Steigerung der Komplexität führen. Wir streben jedoch eine möglichst intuitive und simple Lösung an, die für einen Großteil der Shopbetreiber vollkommen ausreichend ist und alle gewünschten Prozesse abbildet. Dennoch ist natürlich jedes Unternehmen einzigartig und bedarf individueller Lösungen. Sie können das quelloffene Plugin im Zweifel auch immer selber (oder durch Ihre betreuende Agentur) anpassen, wenn Sie keine Erweiterung durch uns wünschen.

Für Rückfragen oder bei Problemen stehe ich Ihnen gerne jederzeit zur Verfügung.

Viele Grüße
Eike Brandt-Warneke

Endlich werden Retouren für Kunde und Shop erheblich erleichtert. Das PlugIn ist recht einfach zu konfigurieren und noch einfacher für den Kunden zu bedienen.
Wenn es bei der Konfiguration mal klemmt, ist der Support extrem schnell (bei uns am selben Tag gelöst!) und zuvorkommend.
Einzig den Preis finde ich für das PlugIn leicht überzogen, aber Entwicklungsarbeit muss natürlich auch bezahlt werden.
