I can sort an exchange now. > **AI:** Can you send a photo of the item and the label? > _photo of the item_ > **AI:** Got it. Your order is inside the 14-day window, so the exchange is approved. > **AI:** Here is your shipping label. The right size ships as soon as the courier scans it. [See how it works](https://userevora.com/use-cases/returns-refunds#how-it-works) · [Book a demo](https://userevora.com/book-a-demo) ## Stop spending four days on a four-minute return Watch an unhappy customer repeat the same details to three agents while the case waits in a queue and nobody tells them what happens next. ### The customer repeats themselves at every step They give the order number in the first message, the photo to the second agent, and the reason again to the third. Each retelling makes an annoyed customer angrier. ### The case waits for a person to start it Nothing moves until an agent opens the ticket, reads it and asks the first question. The policy check was mechanical, but the clock ran anyway. ### A brisk bot makes it worse Handing this job to a scripted bot is the risk nobody wants. A customer who is upset and gets a stock reply does not just drop the return, they tell people about it. ## Open the case in the first message Capture the whole case in one exchange, check it against your policy, then start the return or pass the judgement call to a person. ### 1. Takes the whole case in one go It asks for the order, the photo and what went wrong, together, then stops asking. Everything a person would need later is captured before the customer has to repeat anything. > **AI:** Can you send a photo of the item and the label? > _photo of the item_ ### 2. Checks it against your policy Return window, item condition, category rules and anything you have excluded. The policy is yours, and it is applied the same way at midnight as it is on a Monday morning. > _Placed 6 days ago · inside the 14-day window · category eligible_ ### 3. Starts the return and sends the label When the case clears, it creates the return or exchange in your system and, where your courier supports it, sends the shipping label straight into the chat so the customer can act on it right away. > **AI:** Exchange approved. Here is your shipping label. ### 4. Passes the judgement calls to a person Anything outside the policy, any compensation decision, any case you have told it to escalate goes to the right team, with the photo and history already attached. > **AI:** Outside the window, so I am passing this to the team with your photos. They will come back today. ## Reply to upset customers in the right tone Run returns on the Support Agent.

Measured across the whole queue, returns and complaints included, not just the easy chats. ## Follows your policy, keeps the right tone Run the paperwork fast while the reply still sounds human, because a return is the one chat where the customer arrives already unhappy. ### Tone is the actual product here A return is the one conversation where the customer arrives unhappy. The paperwork can be instant, but the reply cannot sound like paperwork. You set the tone in your own words, warm or formal, and it holds that even when the customer is sharp with it. It apologises once rather than three times, it does not repeat itself, and it never implies the customer is at fault. That is the difference between a return that keeps the customer and one that ends the relationship. ### The policy is yours, applied evenly Your window, your conditions, your exclusions. Every case gets the same reading, so an outcome does not depend on which agent picked it up or how busy the queue was. ### You decide what it can approve Many teams start with it capturing and preparing everything, while a person still approves the money. You can widen that as trust builds rather than handing it over on day one. ## More use cases Revora can solve Look at what happens before the return, from the comment that started the sale to the delivery question that usually arrives in chat first. - [Sell from your comments](https://userevora.com/use-cases/comment-to-dm-selling): A price question in your comments turns into a DM and a paid order. - [Hide abusive comments](https://userevora.com/use-cases/comment-moderation): Abuse and spam come down, real questions still get an answer. - [Recover abandoned carts](https://userevora.com/use-cases/abandoned-cart-recovery): A WhatsApp reminder that brings shoppers back to pay. - [Track orders in chat](https://userevora.com/use-cases/order-tracking): The real delivery status, pulled from your store and sent in chat. - [Take orders inside chats](https://userevora.com/use-cases/conversational-checkout): From the first question to a checkout link, in one chat. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Does it issue refunds on its own? Only if you let it. Most teams start with the agent capturing the case, checking the policy and preparing everything, while a person still approves the money. You widen that when you are ready. ### How does it handle a damaged item? It asks for a photo and the order, records both against the case, and routes it to whoever verifies damage on your side. The evidence is attached, so nobody has to ask the customer again. ### Can we be sure it follows our policy? You give it your actual policy, in your words, and it applies that. You can read back any case and see which rule it used, so a wrong outcome is traceable and fixable. ### What stops it sounding cold with an upset customer? You set the tone, and it is reviewed before it goes live unsupervised. Most teams run it alongside the team first, read the conversations, and adjust until it sounds like them. ### Which channels does it work on? WhatsApp, Instagram, live chat, email and more. A customer can start the return wherever they already message you, and the case stays whole across the conversation. ### Which plan includes the Support Agent? Returns run on the Support Agent.
