LiquiDonate

aid: liquidonate
name: LiquiDonate
description: 'LiquiDonate is a San Francisco based reverse-logistics and donation-disposition platform that turns retail returns,
  excess inventory and unsellable goods into local nonprofit donations instead of landfill or liquidation. Its matching engine
  pairs items with nearby nonprofits that want them, buys the shipping label, routes the parcel and generates the donation
  receipt, so retailers recover tax value and meet extended-producer-responsibility and sustainability obligations. The company
  sells three product lines - ReturnsDirect (customer-direct returns), WarehouseDirect (warehouse and 3PL excess inventory)
  and BoxDrop (donation boxes) - and exposes two public developer APIs: MagicMatch, a donation-as-a-service API that accepts
  parcel and item details and returns a nonprofit match plus a donation shipping label, and ReturnsDirect, a beta returns-management
  integration for non-Shopify ecommerce platforms built on pushed order data plus HMAC-signed return and refund webhooks.
  LiquiDonate integrates with Shopify, Loop, EasyPost, FedEx, Bungii, SendGrid and Rise AI, and has been recognized on TIME
  Best Inventions 2025 and Fast Company World Changing Ideas.'

  name: ReturnsDirect by LiquiDonate (Beta)
  description: Returns-management integration API for non-Shopify ecommerce platforms, retail brands and custom returns portals.
    Retailers push order data to LiquiDonate so the customer-facing return portal can resolve returns without calling the
    retailer API, and LiquiDonate posts HMAC-signed return and refund status events back. Optionally exposes a zero-config
    order-lookup contract in the canonical ReturnsDirect camelCase shape.
