Overview

Shopify Collective + Redo Overview

Shopify Collective allows you (retailer) to directly source and sell products from other brands (suppliers) within your Shopify store, without holding the physical inventory yourself. It is a tool designed to help ecommerce businesses easily partner with other brands to expand their product offerings and grow cart values to increase sales.

The partnership between Redo and Shopify Collective allows you to easily manage returns for Collective items that can be returned to different location. With Redo, you can route the supplier items back to the suppliers warehouse instead of your warehouse as needed.

How does it work?

By joining Shopify Collective, you can add new products from suppliers to your store without purchasing or storing inventory. When you sell a supplier's product through Shopify Collective, they ship directly to the end customer, eliminating you of any fulfillment responsibility. You focus on promoting, merchandising and selling, while the supplier takes care of fulfillment Redo comes into play when there’s a return processed on an order, including Collective products. If that order contains products sold from another merchant (supplier), Redo gives you the ability to set rules so customers can return products to the original supplier.

The customer goes through the same Redo return portal and based on the rules you have set, the return flow will follow including - what warehouse the return needs to go, generates the return label, and allows for a seamless, automated refund to the customer. Redo will then track the return and process the refund based on the rules you’ve set in your returns portal setup.

Setup your integration

Login to your Redo Merchant Dashboard and follow these simple steps to create rules for Collective returns. 

  1. Navigate to Settings in your Merchant Dashboard (bottom left)
  2. Click on Shipping (Returns & Claims section)
  3. Click “Add New Address” (bottom right)
  4. Fill out the pop-out window that looks like the image below.


Use the following values when completing the form:

  1. Type(s) → Leave as Return, Claim
  2. Condition → Collections
  3. Location → “Use Custom Location”
  4. Address → The supplier’s warehouse that the customer will be shipping the returned product to

After the address is created, you’ll then update one more setting to complete the setup.

  1. Navigate to “Automations” under the Returns & claims section
  2. Ensure “Create Shopify returns” is toggled on


Customer Experience

Since your Redo Return Flow has already been created previously, the customer experience will be short and simple. These steps will indicate how to process a refund, and the exchange process will be extremely similar!

  1. A customer can initiate the return/exchange process by accessing the merchant’s return portal. Customers should be ready with the requested information as listed below:
  1. Customers then choose which order or product they want to proceed with. Once they’re ready, click “View Order”
  2. Customer options will differ depending on the merchant’s return flow that was previously setup
  3. Then, select the item you’d like to return, choose the appropriate prompts, and you will be taken to the final page to review and submit your return/exchange.
