Why do you need Returns Software?
95% of customers who are satisfied with a retailer’s returns process say they’ll purchase with that retailer again.
Your online returns customer experience / journey is the flip side of your online purchase customer experience / journey. You need to nail both to maximize your store's potential.
Automating your online returns not only reduces the cost of processing returns, but also encourages consumers to commit to their online purchase.
Other driving factors for wanting to implement eCommerce Returns software include:
- Customers prefer shopping from a store that provides an easy to use return by mail process.
- eCommerce shopping is growing at a rapid pace, so are returns volumes.
- An Inefficient return process will take even more time away from your staff, and cause even more customer frustration than it already does.
What are the benefits?
- Reduce your shopping cart abandonment.
- Prior to checking out customers check to see your return policy, if you do not provide return labels they are less likely to continue with their purchase.
- Free up time of your staff.
- eCommerce Returns Software automates your returns process for not only your customers but also for your staff. Without it, your staff need to do all the work.
- The more automation that you implement the more you can get back to focusing on fundaments of your business.
- Keep your customer's happy.
- Customers want an easy to use and clear return process for online orders.
