Loop Returns Integration and Setup for Shopify

How does Loop Returns work with your Shopify store, and will exchanges, refunds and restocking still match your orders? Shero installs Loop with return policies by product, Shop Now and native Shopify exchanges and Returns API refunds, like we did for Simucube, then connects your helpdesk and 3PL.

Shop Now

Loop's flow for exchanging into any product

Loop's Shop Now flow lets a customer browse the full catalog during a return and exchange into a different product. We set the bonus credit and the order of options in the portal so exchanges and store credit come before a refund.

5,000+

Shopify brands using Loop Returns

Loop Returns is used by 5,000+ Shopify brands and is built exclusively for Shopify. It integrates with the Shopify Returns API, Shopify native exchanges, and native customer accounts so return data appears directly in the order record.

Klaviyo

Return events that start retention emails

Loop sends return and exchange events to Klaviyo, so a customer who exchanged can get a different email from one who took a refund. We build those flows in the Klaviyo account you already use.

Webhooks

Return events sent to your other systems

Loop sends a webhook when a return is created or closed, so other systems can act on it right away. We use those events to tag returned orders, alert the warehouse team or update your 3PL partner.

  • Exchange and store credit flow setup to convert returns before refunds trigger
  • Shopify native exchange configuration to connect exchanges to original orders
  • Return destination routing for multi-warehouse and 3PL operations
  • Klaviyo integration with Loop return events for retention and win-back flows
  • Shopify Flow automation based on return outcomes for high-value customer workflows

Why brands work with Shero on Loop Returns

The return portal is straightforward to install. The exchange conversion rate depends on how the policy windows, bonus credit incentives, and Klaviyo flows are configured.

01

Exchange UX configured to convert before the refund is triggered

Loop shows the exchange option before the refund. Whether customers take it depends on the bonus credit incentive, the Shop Now browsing experience, and how the portal is sequenced. Shero configures the exchange flow around the store's margin profile and product mix to maximize the share of returns that stay in the store as revenue.

02

Return policy windows and eligibility rules built for the catalog

Final sale items, gift purchases, apparel versus hard goods, and regional return windows all require distinct policy rules. Loop's policy engine supports conditional logic across product type, vendor, order tag, and customer tag. Shero maps the store's return requirements before configuring any rules so the portal reflects the store's actual policy.

03

Shopify native exchanges eliminate accounting reconciliation errors

Loop's native exchange integration connects exchanges to the original Shopify order, so there are no separate EXC orders. Financial calculations are handled by Shopify's exchange engine, which means Shopify's reporting reflects exchange outcomes accurately. Brands that migrated to native exchanges eliminated the need for Loop's adjustment reports to reconcile Shopify data. Shero configures native exchanges as the default for all new Loop implementations.

04

Klaviyo flows triggered by Loop return events

Loop passes return events to Klaviyo: return initiated, exchange completed, refund issued, return delivered, and bonus credit applied. Each is a trigger for a different retention flow. A high-value customer who chose store credit gets a different sequence than a first-time buyer who requested a refund. Shero maps these flows in discovery and builds them as part of the Loop implementation. Our email practice handles the Klaviyo configuration.

05

Multi-destination routing for 3PL and drop-ship operations

Stores with multiple warehouses, 3PL partners, or Shopify Collective suppliers need returns routed to the correct destination per product type, vendor, or region. Loop's Destination feature handles this routing logic. Shero configures destinations and product rules so returns reach the correct facility without manual intervention, which reduces the per-return processing cost for operations teams.

06

Post-launch optimization as return volume and policy evolve

Exchange conversion rates and bonus credit acceptance tell you whether the configuration is working. Shero reviews return outcome data post-launch and adjusts incentive thresholds, policy windows, and Klaviyo flows based on what the numbers show after launch.

Set up right the first time

App problems usually come from a rushed install: missing data, theme conflicts and scripts that slow the store. We set it up, connect the data and check the speed.

  • Data connected

    Customer, order and product data synced both ways with Shopify.

  • Theme ready

    Widgets and blocks placed in your theme without breaking the layout.

  • Speed checked

    Scripts reviewed so the app does not drag down Core Web Vitals.

  • Hand off

    Your team trained on the settings that matter.

Many Shopify brands install Loop and leave the exchange flow on defaults. Shero configures the policies, incentives, and flows that turn returns into exchanges.

The setup session is free. It maps your return policies, exchange incentive structure, and Klaviyo requirements before any configuration begins.

"Our journey from Magento to Shopify was riddled with complexities and challenges. With a vast catalog and intricate B2B logic, we needed expertise that could navigate through these intricacies.

Invisible Bead Extensions®

"Working with Shero Commerce on our migration from WordPress to Shopify was honestly such a pleasant experience. We’d been on WordPress for five years with tons of content and very specific styling, and moving all of it into one cohesive Shopify site was no small feat, this was a genuinely complex, highly technical migration. But they pulled it off on deadline with zero errors and zero issues. Their team showed up with everything we needed: a project manager, multiple developers, marketing leads, email specialists, and CRO experts, all coordinated through dedicated meetings and a real task management system. They also designed several high impact conversion pages so our digital presence didn’t just function better, it looked beautiful too. Since migrating, we’ve seen an increase in revenue thanks to having one simplified, cohesive platform. I’m so grateful for how seamlessly they executed this, and I’d recommend Shero Commerce to anyone facing a migration like ours."
