Available Error Message Options
Below is a guide to what triggers each message so you can customize them accurately:
Order Not Found: Displayed when the customer enters an order number or email/phone that does not match your records.
Order Lookup Error (Multiple Returns): Appears if the system detects that a return request has already been submitted for that specific order.
Order Not Fulfilled: Prevents customers from requesting a return for items that have not yet been dispatched.
Something Went Wrong (Connection Error): A general fallback error displayed during connectivity issues or Shopify API timeouts.
Resolution Method Not Selected: A validation prompt shown when a customer tries to proceed without selecting a resolution (e.g., Refund, Exchange, or Store Credit).
Required Image/Note Not Added: These messages appear if you have configured your return policy to require an image or a written reason, but the customer attempts to submit the return without providing them.
Must Select Quantity for Exchange: Prompts the customer to specify how many items they wish to receive when selecting an exchange.
Successful Return Request (Header & Body): The confirmation message shown immediately after a customer successfully submits a return. You can use this to thank them or provide immediate next steps.
Failed Return Request (Header & Body): Displayed if the submission fails due to a system or payment processing error. Customizing this allows you to provide a helpful, reassuring instruction (e.g., "Please contact support").
