详情介绍:
- Reduce support volume – Customers handle return requests themselves instead of contacting you first. Fewer emails, fewer back-and-forth threads.
- Automate returns processing – Define eligibility rules once. ReturnDesk enforces your return window, allowed statuses, and sale-item policy automatically – no manual review needed.
- Enforce your WooCommerce return policy – Show your policy and return address inline in the request flow so customers always know what to expect.
- Build customer trust – A clear, accessible returns process is a key purchase-confidence signal that reduces cart abandonment.
- Keep operations organized – All return merchandise authorization (RMA) requests in one place. Review, approve, reject, and track from the WooCommerce admin. No spreadsheets.
- Professional email notifications – Fully editable email templates for admin and customer communications. Every status change triggers the right message automatically.

常见问题:
Does ReturnDesk require WooCommerce?
Yes. ReturnDesk is a WooCommerce-specific plugin and requires WooCommerce to be installed and active.
Where do customers submit return requests?
Customers see a "Request Return" button on eligible orders under My Account → Orders → View. Clicking it opens the return request form directly within your site.
How do I control which orders are eligible for returns?
In ReturnDesk settings, you can set the return window in days (counted from the order date), and specify which order statuses qualify – for example, only "Completed" orders.
Can I block sale items from being returned?
Yes. Sale item eligibility is a dedicated toggle in the return rules settings. You can allow or block sale-item returns globally.
How do I approve or reject a return request?
Go to WooCommerce → ReturnDesk → Requests in your admin. Each request has one-click Approve and Reject buttons. Approving or rejecting sends the corresponding email notification to the customer automatically.
Can customers attach photos or files to their return request?
Yes. Customers can attach files (such as photos of damaged items) when submitting a request. Attachments are visible to admins in the request detail view.
Does the free version support exchanges or store credit?
No. The free version handles return requests only. Exchanges and store credit options are available in ReturnDesk Pro.
Can I edit the email templates?
Yes. Every email template – New Request (admin), New Request (customer), Approved, Rejected, Cancelled – has editable subject, heading, body, and additional content fields. You can also preview templates in desktop/mobile view and send test emails before going live.
Is there a way to test the return flow without a real customer?
Yes. Place a test order in your own store, set its status to Completed (or whatever status your settings allow), then visit the order in My Account and use the return request form to test the complete flow end to end.
Does ReturnDesk support multiple languages?
Yes. A POT file is included in the languages directory and the plugin is fully translation-ready. Use Loco Translate or any standard WordPress translation tool.
Can customers request exchanges instead of refunds?
Exchanges are a Pro feature. The free version handles return requests only. You can use the return reason and custom success message to guide customers who need an exchange toward contacting you directly.
Does ReturnDesk support partial returns on multi-item orders?
Partial returns are available in ReturnDesk Pro. In the free version, return requests apply to the full order.
Can I set different return windows for different products?
The free version applies one global return window to all products. Per-product return windows are available in ReturnDesk Pro.
Does ReturnDesk work with WooCommerce Subscriptions?
ReturnDesk works on any order type that WooCommerce creates. Return requests on subscription-related orders are supported as long as the order status matches your eligibility settings.
Can I send WhatsApp notifications for return updates?
WhatsApp notifications are a Pro feature. The free version includes email notifications for all return status changes (new, approved, rejected, cancelled).
How do I give customers store credit instead of a refund?
Store credit is a Pro feature. In the free version, refunds and credit decisions are handled manually by the store admin after approving a return request through the WooCommerce admin.
Can I automatically approve return requests?
Auto-approval rules are available in ReturnDesk Pro. In the free version, each request requires manual review and one-click approval or rejection from the admin request list.
How do I customise the return request email templates?
Go to WooCommerce → ReturnDesk → Email Settings. Each email template (New Request for admin, New Request for customer, Approved, Rejected, Cancelled) has editable subject, heading, body, and additional content fields. Use the live preview tool to check desktop and mobile rendering before saving.
Is there a Pro version?
Yes. ReturnDesk Pro adds advanced features including auto-approvals, exchanges, store credit, partial returns, per-product return windows, WhatsApp notifications, and extended reporting. Visit windcodex.com for details.
