Returns API

Create a Return

To create a new return, you need to check the Query Orders API endpoint, when querying a single product (by providing filter.id=...), it will return a returnableProducts array.

You need to display in your UI the following key elements:

  • Quantity to be returned (min 0, max returnableProducts[n].returnableQuantity)
  • Reason for the return (see returnableProducts[n].returnableReasons)
  • A generic "More information" textarea.
