PayPal are introducing some changes that make it easier for merchants to manage their returns including making Happy Returns return and exchange portal software free, and increasing the total number of Happy Returns Return Bar locations to more than 5,000.
The rise in online shopping unsurprisingly brought with it a large amount of returns, which created a surge in logistical challenges for many businesses. By making the Happy Returns software available to PayPal merchant customers at no additional cost, PayPal helps merchants of all sizes to transform their returns experience while streamlining their own operations.
As return volumes continue to increase, this is a crucial time for merchants to implement efficient and cost-effective solutions that better equip them to manage the growing role returns play in retail, By offering the Happy Returns software free of charge, we are delivering a post-purchase solution for merchants that helps them retain revenue and gives them a competitive edge in today’s market.
