Automation for shopify stores
Returns handled on policy - what it replaces, and what it is worth. Below is a worked example, not a case study: the arithmetic is shown so you can check it against your own numbers.
Today
Every return is read, judged against the policy, refunded and restocked by hand, one email thread at a time.
Automated
Returns are checked against policy on arrival, the label and refund issue themselves, and only the judgement calls reach a person.

Worked example, not a case study: 400 events a month at 9 minutes each is 60 hours, worth $1,560 at $26 an hour. A build of this scope typically runs $3,600. No customer is named and no result is claimed to have happened - these are models of the kind of work the platform sells, shown with their assumptions so you can test them against your own.
