Protect your profitability by stopping policy abuse

AfterShip's anti-fraud solution safeguards your BFCM revenue by staying one step ahead of returns scammers. Our automated workflows enable timely anti-fraud inspections and trigger actions to mitigate policy abuse from checkout to returns.

Fraud risk assessments at checkout
icon

Integrate with AI-powered fraud detection platforms and 3PLs to receive fraud risk assessments at checkout and upon return requests.

Prevent out-of-policy returns with pre-set eligibility rules. Automatically ask questions during return requests to ensure policy adherence.

By automatically analyzing shopper behavior, you can uncover patterns and anomalies indicating fraud, such as 'wardrobing' and 'empty box' returns.

Auto-trigger anti-fraud actions, like flagging suspicious return requests for manual review or adding individual customers to the blocklist.

Don't let operational issues take a bite out of your revenue

Precise returns management safeguards revenue by minimizing accounting errors, ensuring correct taxation, and ultimately enhancing profitability.

Uneven exchange

Simply charge or refund the price difference for uneven exchanges. Avoid accounting errors due to offline transaction or bearing the full cost yourself.

Shopify only applies tax to the net sale value, resulting in $0 tax for every new exchange order created. AfterShip Returns can help you maintain accurate records of your exchange transactions and avoid penalties caused by missed tax.

Shopify generates a transaction for the remaining balance, which is inaccurate for exchange and store credit scenarios. AfterShip generates a transaction to offset Shopify’s adjustment and offers adjustment reports for reconciliation.

Empower your business by using different payment methods to cover return costs and capture upsell revenue. Our platform supports Shopify and Stripe Checkout across all touchpoints, including in-app transactions, on-site exchanges, and beyond.

“This exchange feature took every problem away. It’s also saved a lot of revenue — saving us $125k in the last 90 days. Historically, those would have just resulted in a dead refund. That amount will only keep going up as we get more and more returns.”

"Enforcing our return policy has become seamless. Previously, customers would submit items beyond the allocated return windows, expecting full refunds. Thanks to AfterShip’s customizable return windows and non-refundable tagging, we can now effectively deter fraud, preventing customers from creating requests and generating shipping labels."
