How it works

Cross-border returns, simplified for your e-commerce business

With Shopreturns, international returns become as smooth as domestic ones.

Step by step

For your customer and your team

Here’s how we turn a potential headache into a seamless, trackable experience.

Your customer generates a return

From your shop or marketplace – with a QR code or a printable label.

We support both modern and classic formats. QR codes = no printer needed. Your customer sees clear instructions in their language.

Drop-off at a local return point

Your customer takes the parcel to a nearby drop-off point.

We support the largest national networks:

  • DHL (Germany)
  • Royal Mail and Evri (UK)
  • Colissimo (France)
  • Correos (Spain)
  • Post NL (Netherlands & Belgium)
  • Post AT (Austria)
  • GLS (Italy)

Local warehouse receives the return

Returns go to our local warehouse – not across the continent.

Your customer gets fast confirmation. You get a local presence – without renting space or hiring staff. We scan the parcel within 1 business day of delivery.

We handle return verification for you

You decide the level of control:

  • Quantity check – free for 6 months
  • Quality check – optional, free for 6 months
  • Photo documentation – available on request

Perfect for high-value items, fashion, electronics, or marketplace compliance.

You choose what happens next

You’re in control – not at the mercy of a generic logistics partner.

Decide what to do with each return:

  • Ship it back to you (consolidated or individually)
  • Send it to your EU warehouse or fulfilment partner
  • Donate it locally via our charity integration
  • Dispose securely if item is non-resellable

Flexible rules = cost savings + better customer care.

Full visibility & reporting

Track every return in real time – from QR code generation to delivery.

Your dashboard includes:

  • Parcel status & timeline
  • Verification results
  • Photos (if selected)
  • Country, courier, marketplace breakdown
  • Optional return reasons (when provided)

No more emailing warehouses or chasing tracking numbers.
