We’ve just released an improvement to the
Exchange for Different Product flow when the exchange item is more expensive than the returned item
(i.e., the shopper needs to pay the price difference to the merchant).✨ Before this update
Previously, the Amount to Collect flow had several limitations:
- No clear notification or status indicating whether the shopper had completed the payment.
- Merchants couldn’t directly link to the Shopify invoice or the newly created exchange order from the request.
✨ After this update
The Exchange – Amount to Collect flow has been improved to make payment tracking and order management much easier.
1️⃣ Create Exchange Order
When creating an exchange order, you can now:
- Send a Shopify Invoice if additional payment is required.
- Use the “Collect payment” action directly linked to the created exchange order.
- See a "Payment-pending status" after the exchange order is created, indicating that the shopper has not yet completed the payment.
2️⃣ Automatic Payment Status Sync
- Once the shopper completes the payment, the request status will automatically update to "Payment-paid".
- You can then resolve the exchange request directly.

We’re excited to announce that the
Packing Slip feature
is now live for all users. Packing slip helps streamline the return process by improving item verification and reducing errors
when receiving returned packages.
✨ What’s new
Merchants can now automatically generate a Packing Slip for return requests based on selected conditions. You can set rules by:
- Return country
- Shipping method (Ship with any carrier or Prepaid label)
- Return address/warehouse
- If the conditions are met, the system will auto-generate the Packing Slip. It’s attached to the Approved Notification email and also displayed on the Return Portal for shoppers to download and print
- For the internal management, a packing slip link will be included on the shipment block
✨ How Packing Slip works?
- When a return request meets your configured conditions, the Packing Slip is automatically generated.
- Shoppers print the PDF and include it inside the return package.
- When the package arrives, you can quickly verify RMA ID, Order ID, SKUs, quantities, tracking number, and other return details.

We’re excited to share that Synctrack users can now issue
partial refunds
directly in the app.✨What’s new
- Merchants can now refund part of the order amount instead of refunding the full amount at once, based on your return policy or received items.
- Partial refunds are available for return requests with 2 or more items.
How partial refund works?
- Partial refunds are processed per item.
For example, you can refund one item first, then refund the remaining items later.
- The Refund button will remain visible until the full refundable amount has been refunded.
✨ Why this matters ?
- More flexibility when handling refunds.
- Better control over special or complex return cases.
- Less manual work when managing return requests.

Login with Shopify Customer Account
✨What’s new

We’re excited to share that the
FedEx package dimension setup
has been officially updated in Synctrack Returns.

Merchants can now configure a default package setup for FedEx logistics with two flexible options:
1. Choose a Default FedEx package type

2. Custom package dimension
Manually define package length, width, height, and weight based on store needs.

✨ How it works:
