Returns and Cancellations

Every Jewelry Return and Cancel, on the Order It Belongs To

Returns from Amazon, Walmart, eBay and Shopify arrive on the order with the channel’s own reason. A cancel you start goes back to the channel, and a buyer’s cancel request stops the PO before it reaches your supplier.

The problem

A ring in the wrong size comes back. A buyer cancels after the PO has gone.

Jewelry comes back for its size, its stone or its finish, and buyers change their minds within hours of ordering. Each channel reports returns and cancel requests in its own place, with its own codes, while the purchase order is already on its way to the supplier.

Appath reads them all onto the order they belong to, and stops the PO when a buyer asks to cancel.

Returns

Every channel’s returns, in one place

From all four channels

Amazon’s, Walmart’s, eBay’s and Shopify’s returns, each read from the channel and placed on the order it came from.

The channel’s reason, in plain words

Each channel’s own reason codes and states, shown in one vocabulary across every channel, with the quantity, the dates and the refund figure the channel reports.

A notice when the channel waits on you

Where a channel needs your answer on a return, Appath raises a notice on the order, so a reply is never missed.

A Returns view across stores

Every open return in one list, beside a Returns card on each order and the return’s events in the order’s history.

No buyer details kept

A return is read through a fixed list of fields: codes, quantities, dates and amounts. No buyer’s name or address is stored with it.

Into the Advisor

Returns feed the Advisor, which names an item that comes back often, with its top reason.

Cancellations

A cancel lands everywhere it needs to

Whether you start it, the buyer asks for it or the channel makes it, a cancel reaches the channel, your supplier’s PO and your stock.

A cancel you start

Cancel a whole order or one line. Appath tells Walmart, eBay or Shopify first, then cancels in Appath; Amazon’s whole orders go by Amazon’s order feed. A dry run shows what will change before you confirm.

A buyer’s cancel request

When a buyer asks Walmart, Amazon or eBay to cancel, Appath names the lines and holds the order’s POs, so none reaches your supplier until you cancel, it ships, or you clear the request.

A line the channel cancelled

A line Walmart, Amazon or Shopify cancels is cancelled in Appath too. An order first seen with a line already cancelled comes in that way: never routed, never booked.

A whole order the channel cancelled

Unwound in Appath, on every channel: its held stock released, its POs cancelled and its books entry voided. If a PO has already reached the supplier, or only part of a line is cancelled, a notice says so and nothing changes until you act.

Shipped elsewhere

An order the channel reports shipped, sent by another tool or by hand before it reached your supplier, closes itself. Routing never sends a PO for an order already shipped.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How Appath handles jewelry returns, cancels and cancel requests on every channel.

Does Appath show jewelry returns from Amazon, Walmart, eBay and Shopify?
Yes. Each channel’s returns are read into Appath and placed on the order they came from, with the channel’s reason in plain words, the quantity, the dates and the refund figure the channel reports. A Returns view lists them across every store, and no buyer’s name or address is stored with a return.
What happens when a buyer asks to cancel a jewelry order?
When a buyer asks Walmart, Amazon or eBay to cancel, Appath raises a notice naming the lines and holds the order’s purchase orders, so none reaches your supplier, by the scheduled send, a file or a person’s send, until you cancel the order, it ships, or you clear the request.
Can I cancel one line of an order?
Yes, in Appath, on any order. On Walmart and Shopify the line is cancelled on the channel too. eBay and Amazon cancel whole orders, so Appath sends a whole-order cancel there, Amazon’s by its order feed.
What if the channel cancels a line or the whole order?
Appath follows it: a whole order the channel cancels is unwound, its held stock released, its POs cancelled and its books entry voided, and a cancelled line is cancelled in Appath. If a PO has already reached your supplier, or a channel cancels only some units of a line, Appath raises a notice and changes nothing until you act.
Does a return change my stock or my books?
Not by itself. A return is a record on the order with the channel’s reason and figures; your stock, purchase orders and books stay as they are.
What happens to an order I shipped outside Appath?
If the channel reports it shipped and no purchase order for it reached a supplier, the order closes itself and nothing is sent twice. You can also mark an order as fulfilled elsewhere, and reopen it if that was a mistake.

Every Return and Cancel, Where It Belongs

Returns from every channel on the order with the channel’s reason, cancels sent back, and a buyer’s cancel request holding the PO.
