International orders on Shopify

The right return policy for every market.

A shopper in Toronto shouldn't get your US return steps. Aide checks where each order ships before it answers. · By

Short answer

Aide follows your Shopify return policy market by market, so a return on an order shipped into a market with its own policy follows that policy. Drafts for orders shipping abroad use your international articles, and the chat widget speaks English, French and German.
Return rules
Your Shopify return policy, with each market's own policy where you set one.
Setup
Turn returns on and approve the markets permission. Until then, your default applies.
Local formats
Dates, numbers and prices follow the shopper's language and region.

Where it ships decides the answer

The shipping address on the order sets which policy applies and which articles Aide drafts from.

When a Shopify market has its own return policy, a return Aide offers on an order shipped there uses that market's window and rules.

Aide
