SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Returns and refund handling is often manual, inconsistent, and legally sensitive; this Skill automates policy enforcement to ensure consistent decisions, auditable rules, and clear customer communication across product categories and customer segments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-product and per-segment rules: Configure different return windows, restocking fees, and final-sale exclusions by product tags, categories, and customer tiers.
  • Automated approval routing: Auto-approve eligible returns, escalate high-value or flagged items to manual review, and persist restocking fee calculations before routing.
  • Policy versioning & audit: Keep immutable JSON snapshots for every policy change and evaluate returns using the policy in effect at purchase time to meet compliance requirements.
  • Platform integrations: Guidance for Loop Returns, AfterShip, ReturnGo and headless implementations with a programmatic policy-evaluation example for custom systems.

Quick Start

Evaluate a hypothetical return for order 12345 (delivered 2026-03-01) for a product tagged electronics using a 15-day electronics policy and return reason "defective" to see eligibility, days remaining, and restocking fee.
