A great customer experience doesn’t end when a shopper receives their purchase. In fact, many retailers forget to focus on curating the experience beyond the buy button, especially with something as nuanced as returns. With Optoro’s white-label Returns Portal, customers can initiate returns and exchanges without needing customer service support — all while protecting retailers and brands from fraud.
