I wish we had the opportunity to customize the "Return Reasons" on the Branded Returns Portal. The default options are not relevant to our product returns.

  • April 3, 2019
Does anyone know if they have implemented the "edit return reasons" per everyone's request?

  • June 25, 2019
Any update here?

  • July 26, 2019
Yes Yes Yes. Our number one reason for return is sizing/fit issues and we're forced to select "other" or "changed mind" for client returns, which is not at all helpful for our returns staff. Particularly when most sized returns are actually exchanges. A reason code of "changed mind" makes staff assume the client no longer wants the item.

Even if custom RMA reasons can't be set up, add to the standard list " Doesn't Fit " All clothes companies will use this

I need to customize my "reasons for return" choices. The current ones to not correlate with my products. It does not look professional for me like this. Please help. Thank you.

We need custom reasons, I cannot make good, smart business decisions when my customers are choosing "other" or "changed their mind" on the returns. They are my customer for a reason and if I cannot meet their demands I cannot fix their issue. Please please please!

After submitting a ticket to "support", I was encouraged to post my feedback here. We too would benefit from having an option of "didn't fit" for the reasons for a return. Thank you for your consideration.

I agree.... we need "too big" and "too small" as options.

  • June 30, 2020
Would love to have comments when doing an exchange as well. So we know what size/color etc we are exchanging for.

  • July 24, 2020
Being unable to edit these options (not having a 'wrong size' selection) makes tracking RMA almost impossible for our clothing brand! It also creates SO much extra work on the back end! Every item returned due to incorrect sizing requires unneeded communication with the customer in order to serve them properly ! Pretty please ?

This would be extremely helpful. I agree that the reasons provided are not very relevant.

Shipstation, Many of these requests from your customers have been pending for two - three years now?! It's painfully clear that this entire module was NOT designed by an actual business owner. It is frustratingly incomplete. LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS!

  • September 4, 2020
Not all the options are relevant for our products either - would love to be able to customize them or reduce the number of options! Confuses the customer experience of the return process.

  • September 24, 2020
I would like to be able to use a BEST OPTION for shipping used for returns. I set default to First Class, but know that larger items are MORE expensive to ship that way. So I changed back to Priority, which will also be overkill. I do not know what type of packaging the customer will use, so that adds to the complexity. So, let the customer select the type of package and the type of shipping (if we can exclude some options).

Hi there, could we make an option to customize the return reasons in the branded return portal? Or at least the choice to remove some of the preset options that are there.

  • March 17, 2021
I am launching the Branded Returns Page, but wish I could eliminate a few of the Return Reason options from the drop down menu. Per my company's return policy, I would only like to accept returns in the event of "Changed Mind", "Damaged", or "Exchange". Some of these options are not relevant to my products ("Missing Parts"), too subjective to warrant a return according to our policy ("Arrived Too Late", or "Not as Described") or go counter to our business model ("Rental"). I can see how these options might be great for some businesses, but I'd much rather see ShipStation provide us the flexibility to pick which reasons we allow returns to be executed, that go along with our individual return policies.

  • May 14, 2021
I've been avoiding the branded returns portal since launch because it's only about 50% functional for us, and as it appears, many other businesses. Having a catch all list of return reasons is nonsense; a text field would even be better. We would prefer to change these, like many others have mentioned. Some of these don't apply to our business model at all, others are solutions that we solve in ways that don't require a return, or shipping at all. The other part is the default shipping service. We ship everything from a set of 4 screws and washers via USPS First Class to actual surf boards. There is no way a single shipping service applies to all of these packages. Defaulting to the outgoing service would be a step in the right direction, but then we have an issue with anything that was shipped out via an express method. The best solution, for us, would be to show 2 or 3 services, and their associated prices, to the customer. A second option would be to simply show these services, and the cheapest option is used by default. Showing the price could be optional to the business.

Is there still no update on this? It appears to be 4 years old and the same issues.

One additional feature, alongside the need to customise the return reasons (and post code, rather than zip code, for UK):

It would be useful to link to the courier's website so the customer can find the local drop-off shop. Currently it's not obvious for the customer where they need to drop off.


I have the same problem. Normally, when shipping via UPS WorldShip software, I would schedule a pickup for the return. So the customer doesn't have to deal with how to get the packge to the UPS store. I really wish that there were more return options in ShipStation.

I just asked support about this same thing and they said to submit an idea for it so I went here and found the same request for customization of return reasons, restricting non-returnable products, etc. THIS IS FROM 2017! How in 5 years are we not able to implement something so basic as, at least, allowing merchants to set their own return reasons????
