RMA & Return Claims Hub All Editions

Manage customer product returns, warranty claims, defective merchandise exchanges, and repair requests from a dedicated administrator workspace.

Overview​

The RMA & Return Claims Studio allows verified buyers to select specific items from their past orders, specify the return reason (Defective, Damaged in Transit, Incorrect Item, or Dissatisfied), specify the quantity being returned, and add notes.

Store administrators can inspect, review, approve, reject, or mark claims as completed directly from the left administrator navigation menu (Components → FlexExt Store → RMA Claims).
