Manage return shipping costs and customer charges

This guide explains how to manage return shipping costs and customer charges in your return management system. Understanding these components will help you set up fair and transparent return policies.
There are 5 types of shipping costs
Shipping fee: Original order shipping fee
Label generation fee: Fee for creating and processing the return label
Return fee: Fee charged to customers for processing their return, customizable based on return reason
Refund Discount: Deduction from the refund amount based on discounts applied to the original order in Shopify.
Refund Taxes: Amount of tax to be refunded from the original order, as calculated by Shopify.
The system will recalculate the total refund amount based on:
Order subtotal + Taxes + Shipping fee + Label fee – Return fee – Discount
