# Return solutions

Return solutions define what options your customers can choose when they submit a return request. By enabling different solutions, you give customers a clear set of choices — such as a refund, exchange, or store credit — and make it easier for you to handle each return consistently.

Go to **ParcelWILL app > Return settings > Return solutions** to manage your available solutions.

### How return solutions work

Each return solution represents one option your customers see on the return page when submitting a request. Enable the return solutions you want to offer. Customers can then choose the option that best fits their situation.

### Set the display order

At the top of the page, the **Return solution display order setting** controls the order in which solutions appear on the customer-facing return page. Drag and drop the solutions to rearrange them. The order shown here is exactly what customers will see.

{% hint style="info" %}
Put your most preferred solution at the top. For example, if you'd rather customers choose store credit over a refund, move store credit above the refund option.
{% endhint %}

### Available return solutions

When you expand an enabled solution, you can customize the following:

* **Custom name** — the label customers see on the return page (e.g., "Refund to original payment" or "Get store credit")
* **Custom description** — a short explanation shown below the name to help customers understand this option
* **Custom badge** — an optional tag displayed next to the solution name (e.g., "Recommended" or "Fastest")

Below is the full list of available solutions, along with which plan is required:

| **Refund to store discount**          | Issue the refund as a store discount code                                                            | Essential     |

{% hint style="info" %}
You need to enable a solution here before it can be used in automation workflows. If a solution is toggled off, it will not appear as an option in workflows or on the customer return page.
{% endhint %}
