How to Set Up a Return Portal
ShipHero provides all customers with an iFrame that can be embedded on their site. End clients can easily create a return using their order number and email address.
Note: For 3PLs, the return portal should be configured on the 3PL child account.
Important: There must be an active account admin on the account. If removed you will get an error of Service temporary unavailable. And the account admin information would be provide as the person to contact.

- Flat rate shipping costs.
- Whether to allow customer self-returns.
- The minimum value of return items needed for return.
- Countries returns are allowed from.

How to Embed the Returns iFrame On Your Site
The iFrame code can be found on the Customer Returns setting page. It is a short snippet of HTML code and can be added anywhere on your site. For best results, we recommend creating a separate web page for returns so that end customers do not have to scroll within a small site on your page.
Users also have the ability to customize the design of their return portal. (Example below.)
