CUSTOMER RETURNS · Workflow idea

Make the next return step clear without promising an outcome the store has not approved.

For a team or individual with an authorized purpose, prepare return instructions and a customer-specific guide from an authorized request and current store policy. A mistaken identity or outdated policy can expose order details or promise an invalid return. Verify the requester and order, check current eligibility and time limits, protect the return link, and require staff to approve any label, refund, exception, or customer message. Use only information the requester may access, explain personal-data use and retention, verify source details and rights, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
