Creating a Return
Key differences between “Invoice from Conrad” and the original “Marketplace” model:
| Steps | Description |
|---|---|
Registering a Return | Customers register item returns via our company’s Returns gateway (Conrad Electronic » Your sourcing platform) |
Return label | We create a return label for the customer. |
Return address | DAt this point, we retrieve the return address directly from your Mirakl account. (“Returns” tab) If the return address is missing or invalid, the term for returns starts no earlier than on the day a valid address is provided. |
Address format | Important: Put the company name in the first line of the return address. Put the street name and the house number in the second address line called “Address (continued)”. |
Return Request | Registering a Return via the Conrad Returns Portal auto-generates a Return Request in Mirakl when the carrier scans the parcel for the first time. The Request entering the system means it has been approved already and is simply used to notify you of a return. |
Debit Note & Customer | The carrier scanning the parcel for the first time auto-generates a debit note for you and a credit note for the customer. We offset these returns-related debit notes against your normal order invoicing, means no payment is required. |
The guidelines below cover all relevant information regarding returns.
