[returndesk_portal]

Renders the Return Center - a page where customers find their order and create or track return requests. It works for guests, so customers who checked out without an account can still request returns.

No attributes are needed.

How It Works

  1. The customer enters their order number and billing email, then clicks Find Order. Logged-in customers can leave the email blank.
  2. ReturnDesk checks that the email matches the order's billing email. If it doesn't, it shows "We could not find an order matching those details."
  3. The customer sees the order's items and can submit a return request - with reason, description and attachments - just like in My Account.
  4. Existing requests for the order are listed, and pending requests can be cancelled.

The billing-email check means only someone who knows both the order number and the email on the order can see it.

Use cases:

  • A "Returns" page linked from your menu or footer
  • A link in order confirmation emails
  • Guest checkouts, where customers don't have a My Account page
