Loop Returns
AI returns platform that converts refunds into exchanges, Bonus Credit, and retained revenue
What is Loop Returns?
Loop is an AI-powered post-purchase platform built originally for Shopify that turns returns into retained revenue by guiding shoppers toward exchanges, Bonus Credit, or store credit instead of refunds. It now covers tracking, order editing, fraud prevention, and Checkout+ paid return coverage in addition to the core returns flow. Approximately 5,000 brands including Brooklinen, Reebok, and Princess Polly use it, reporting up to 76% fewer support tickets and $3.1M in recovered revenue.

Business fit
Right for you if you are a mid-market Shopify apparel, footwear, or accessories brand losing meaningful revenue to refunds and want shoppers steered toward exchanges. Advanced unlocks Instant Exchange and Bonus Credit, which materially lift retained revenue on higher-AOV catalogs.

Also skip if you sell consumables or non-returnable goods where exchanges do not apply.
