Digitize proof of purchase for returns
The Return Documentation Upload function enables customers to securely attach receipts, invoices, or proof of purchase directly within the return authorization workflow. This capability ensures that every return request is supported by valid documentation before processing begins. By integrating this feature, the system streamlines the verification process and reduces manual review time for support teams. Customers gain confidence knowing their documents are encrypted and stored safely. The upload interface supports multiple file formats including PDF, JPG, and PNG, allowing users to attach images or scanned documents effortlessly. This function acts as a critical gatekeeper in the returns lifecycle, ensuring only legitimate claims proceed to fulfillment stages.
Users can drag and drop files or select from their device gallery to upload supporting documents for their return request.
The system validates file types and sizes automatically, providing immediate feedback if the uploaded document does not meet requirements.
Once attached, the documentation becomes part of the official return record, visible to both the customer and the authorization team.
