Enter the brand info (name, website, amount of returns per month, etc.
IMPORTANT NOTE, once you create the org, you need to reach out to Aftership Rep to remove the free trail and tie to our paid account. Do not start setting up until this is complete or you risk losing your work.
Reach out to Jeremy (jeremy.bobbitt@aftership.com) to remove
Once, the free trail is removed, you are ready to set-up. Today, settings are mirrored by brand.
Set-up check list

Set-up Checklist explained / additional detail:

Connecting Shopify:
There is a high chance this will not work the first time you go to install returns tracking on the main set up menu, if it doesn’t work and you don’t see a check mark by store connected. Then go into apps on the left side bar and view more apps and click shopify to install. This will prompt you to enter verification code sent to tech pirates email. Below is an image of what it should look like when connected.

Eligibility Rules

This is if you want to exclude items from being returned (ie. BG product we didn’t make)
You can also include question flow (ie. Did you wear this item? If marked yes, it is non-returnable) This isn’t currently set up as you have to tag each item and is manual work.

Return Routing Rules:

This is for customer locations that you want to pay for their shipping label to return the item.
Today it’s set up for us to pay for US / Canada and all other locations will need to create & pay for their shipping to return (they’re responsible for cost of returns).
*Make sure you click the automatic approval on this tab.

Automation Rules:

Auto-refund only if ALL items in the request are at least Grade A, B, or C. We will not manually refund items marked as Grade D.

Ship and Track:

Returns Shipping
Courier Accounts and Services
This needs a credit card to set up. I would advise switching to Vessel (3rd party through Aftership). Jeremy and Eugene can help with this, which would allow for bank account.
This service is for USPS labels and it will debit $100 and once you drop below $10 threshold, it will re-charge.
