Return reason

July 16, 2026

A return reason is the explanation a customer provides for returning a product, for example, because it is damaged, does not meet expectations, or is the wrong size or color.

You can make providing a return reason mandatory in your return policy, but only in situations where the statutory right of withdrawal does not apply.

What can you learn from return reasons as an online store?

Return reasons can provide insight into potential issues with product quality, fit, or customer expectations.

By analyzing return reasons, you can make improvements to product selection, descriptions, images, sizing information, customer service, and return policy, in order to increase customer satisfaction and reduce returns.
