How to process customer returns

Customers are directed to your store after they started their return online and received a QR code. This QR code is also emailed to the customer along with an alphanumeric code that can be manually entered into the app.

What can items can you expect to see?

• Apparel

• Footwear

• Accessories

• Home goods (Bedding, towels, etc.)

A best practice when accepting items is to always keep items in their branded packaging. Examples of packaging are the box a necklace came in or shoe boxes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1a: Sign in, select “Start a Return” and scan the shopper’s QR code

• Find the app “Returnista” on the iPad and sign in using your Happy Returns username and password.

• Ask the customer to present their QR code. If they have multiple QR codes, process each separately.

• Tap “Start Return” on the home screen to activate the camera.

• Scan the customer’s QR code.

Troubleshooting:

• If the QR code isn’t populating in the email or you receive an error after scanning it, manually type the alphanumeric code in the email.

• If the customer doesn’t have any information, call Return Bar support.

Step 2: Scan the Happy Returns bag code

• Scan the code on the Happy Returns bag.

• If the code does not scan, enter the manual number on the bag.

• The green check mark indicates the bag was successfully scanned.

Step 3: Scan the barcode on the return item

• The barcode can be found on the item’s bag, the hang tag, the shoebox, or sewn in the garment (this may vary by brand).

• Once scanned, if the barcode matches one of the items in the return, continue following the prompts to complete the return or add another item.

  • If the barcode does not match, you will be prompted to select the item that matches the shopper’s return.

  • If the item doesn’t have a barcode, select “Continue without barcode” and follow the prompts.

Step 4a: Place the item in the Happy Returns bag & submit return

• Place the item in the scanned Happy Returns bag

• If you have multiple items select “Add another item.” This will prompt you to scan the item’s barcode.

• When adding multiple items, if the polybag is full, you will need a new bag to process the item. Select “the bag is full, start a new bag”

• Once you have processed the customer’s items, select “Submit return”

Step 4b: Immediately place polybag in the Happy Returns tote.
