Return shipments (incl. DHL / UPS label)

About the Extension
DEMOSHOP AVAILABLE
We will provide you with a demo store for this extension so that you can test it to your heart's content with every available functionality. You also have full access to the administration so that you can try out all the options there too. A customer has already been created for the storefront. You can log in to the store directly with the pre-selected access data. The demo store is completely reset every night. To do this, please click on the "App Demo" button in the right-hand column below the booking options or click directly on the "Demo" tab.
Description
Offer your customers the possibility to create returns directly from their customer account. To do this, customers can specify the number of items, a reason, a desired procedure and optional comments. The reasons (e.g. FAG, article defective etc.) and procedures (e.g. credit note, payment etc.) can be administered within a separate module in the Shopware settings. In addition, you can activate returns only for certain customer groups or for definable order statuses.
The customer can create any number of returns per order. However, for each new return, the customer can only select the items that have not yet been claimed in a previous return. Thus, he cannot return the same items more than once. In the plugin configuration you will find an option to enable or disable multiple returns per orders.
The customer is guided through the process of a return with a step-by-step guide. Within the list of his orders he comes directly with a link to the list of returns of an order or to the form for creating new returns. He can also download a return document as a PDF and enclose it with the package. As a store operator, you will receive an email on request as soon as a return has been created.
In addition, your customers - taking into account various conditions (e.g. customer group) - have the option to directly create and print a DHL or UPS returns label.
Within the administration you will find the new menu item "Returns" under the tab "Orders". Here you can view and edit every received return. In order to better integrate the process into your own processes, you can also define all statuses yourself - delete and edit existing statuses or create new statuses (e.g. "Return awaiting feedback from manufacturer").
Guests and SEO Url
You can specify an SEO url that you can link directly (e.g. for guests). For example, the form for creating a return can be accessed at https://www.domain.de/ruecksendung. Please enter the desired SEO url without (!) the domain in the plugin configuration - e.g. "ruecksendung".
In this form, each customer can log in by entering the order number and associated email address and view their existing returns or create a new return. If the customer has forgotten the order number and/or the email address, then he can also search for past orders by last name and a matching zip code.
Post products to inventories
Within the administration of a return you have the possibility to book selected products directly back into the stock. In this way, products that have actually been returned (e.g. as FAG returns) and can be put back on sale can be posted directly.
Deadlines
You can define in the plugin configuration whether a return can only be created for a certain period of time (from shipment). For example, you can allow the creation of a return only up to 21 days after shipment. In parallel, you can define a time limit for creating return labels (DHL and UPS). For example, you can offer free return shipping (via return label) only up to a maximum of 14 days after shipment.
Exclude products from returns
By default, the plugin only enables "normal" Shopware products for a return. Thus, for example, coupons and / or discounts can not be selected for a return. You also have the option in the free text fields of products to specifically exclude them from returns.
DHL Returns Label
You can offer your customers that they can directly create and print a DHL return label for their order. In addition, your customers can also save a QR code so that they can print a label at the DHL branch.
You can activate / deactivate the creation of labels and can have all logs recorded. Most of the time, a look at the logs is enough to detect possible errors. The logs logs in the default directory for logs within Shopware. Starting from the root directory this would be "/var/log".
Please make sure to maintain the weights of the items correctly in the backend. The weight on the label is calculated automatically according to the selected items.
You can generate a returns label with the interface to the DHL business customer portal. The label automatically contains you as the recipient and the customer as the sender.
To be able to generate DHL Labels, you need access to the DHL Business Customer Portal. In addition, you must be authorized for shipping processing via the business customer portal. For activation, please contact your DHL customer advisor.

DHL Returns Label via DHL Business Customer Portal - Sandbox Settings
The DHL Sandbox API supports pure function tests with the standard access data of the plugin. You can use this access data to carry out the functional test of the API. Alternatively, you can also optionally test other return recipients. However, please follow the instructions in the DHL developer portal documentation.
DHL returns label abroad
You can store different DHL access data per country and/or sales channel. For this purpose, you will find - next to the plugin configuration - the menu item "DHL access data for returns" within the Shopware configuration. If you store a separate data set for the country Austria, then a DHL label with this access data will be generated for all customers from Austria.
UPS Returns Label
You can also - in addition to the DHL label or instead of the DHL label - provide your customers with a UPS returns label. To do this, you must activate the corresponding option in the plugin configuration and store all access data.
