Loop is a fantastic solution for easy returns. The onboarding was clearly laid out and easy to implement. Automations are easy to set up and streamline a lot of processes. Some additional reading I'd recommend when defining your policies in the app is their page on return fraud: https://www.loopreturns.com/blog/the-easy-way-to-handle-return-fraud/ We got targeted by a few fraudulent orders and the fraudsters were able to game the USPS tracking to show up as delivered without anything actually getting delivered to our store. Their integrations with Shopify are really great, and it's nice to be able to see updates on the order status page directly in Shopify.

Great support and easy to use app. It integrates with our theme seamlessly and has lots of customization to make emails on brand. Paid plan is affordable and competitive. Follow-up: Been using this app for a year and change now and still dig it. We recently upgraded themes and Abuzar was quick and helpful in getting the button updated to fit the vibe we're after. Thanks!

We migrated to AfterShip Returns Center from Return Magic and the workflow is familiar when processing refunds. ASRC hits a similar price-to-features ratio with their essentials plan. There are some nickel and dime charges that are kinda annoying like having to pay extra for multiple users on the back end. The jump from essentials to pro is huge, and it's a bummer that they lock some basic features like app proxy behind the higher tier. You're forced to direct customers off your site to their portal. Want to love some of the automations like auto-receive and auto-refund once the package arrives but it's limited to giving full refunds only. We offset shipping costs for returns by charging a flat fee that gets processed when issuing the refund, and it has options to include that when manually processing things. If it did that with auto-refund, I'd give it 5 stars despite the other shortcomings. That'd save us a ton of time. I'd say set-up is medium difficulty, but not too bad. Maybe a half a day if you really dive into branding and customization and you've got a good bank of content to work with. Customer support was super responsive and helpful unless things start to get too technical. All in all. I think it's a good solution for us. We don't have a ton of volume for returns and exchanges, so the price is right for our needs. Having a portal with some automation definitely saves us time.

I want to like it, but it definitely has some annoying shortfalls. My biggest wish is that in addition to the away message, it'd be nice to just disable the chat altogether and hide it from the website on a schedule. I do this manually sometimes so I'm not getting pinged on my off days, but somehow customers are still able to send messages. Then the app keeps bugging me that "A customer is awaiting a response" and "Make sure you respond to the customer before they get away!" even though I have an away message set with details of how to reach us when the chat window is supposed to be "closed." We only have one person (me) handling online customer support, and I don't want to always be "On" and "Available." I like how well it integrates with Shopify since it is a native app, and the inbox page and app work well. I like how quick and easy it is to solve problems and answer questions when a customer reaches out. I like how they changed the way responses work when sending a message after the customer left the site. Email is much less disruptive and expected vs getting a response with no context from a random phone number because phone numbers used to be required. Please keep working on the app and making it better, but I'm probably disabling it again after the holidays and the holiday returns season is over.

Super easy to use and connects our webstore with Mailchimp seamlessly. That's it. That's all I use it for.

Easy to install and works really well. Makes a noticeable difference in how quickly our site loads. Highly recommended.

Awesome app. Really helped me solve the problem of automatically assigning different size charts for different items based on tags. You can even double up size charts to include a fit guide or other information in the pop-up window! Minimal amount of coding to get it to work and devs were super responsive on css issues.
