There are 4 main shipping methods for merchant to allow your customer to select: * Ship with pre-paid label * Ship with any carrier * No shipment required * Return to store location ||| When setting up, you have to enable at least one method. While submitting a return request, shoppers will be asked to choose a shipping method. ## Set who pays for the pre-paid label Who pays for the pre-paid return label is now set with rules in **Settings > Fees > Return shipping label fee**. You can charge the shopper all, part or none of the label cost, and change it per return — for example, cover the label when an item arrives damaged and charge it when the shopper changes their mind. When "Ship with pre-paid label" is turned on, its card shows: * A **Merchant or customer pays** badge, since who pays depends on your label fee rules. * A **Label fee** row with the **Set fee rules →** button, which opens the Fees page. * A **Courier** row with the **Connect courier →** button, shown until you connect a logistics courier to auto-generate return labels after approval.
