Ecommerce return intake with a clear approval boundary
Collect order context and customer impact while keeping refund and exception decisions with the right owner.
Direct answer
A return request should separate information support can provide from the decision to approve a return, refund, replacement, or exception. Start with the order reference and the customer’s requested outcome.
Use the approved order view and avoid copying full payment details into the ticket. Record dates, item context, delivery status, and the policy path that appears relevant.
When the request falls outside the documented path, prepare a handoff with evidence and a single requested decision. Do not promise a result before the owner confirms it.
Review return tickets for missing order facts, unsafe disclosures, and unclear customer updates. Fix the intake prompt when the same exception arrives incomplete.
