Loop Returns

Loop Returns is an AI-powered post-purchase operations platform built for e-commerce retention that unites tracking, returns, exchanges, fraud prevention, and shipping into a single platform. Originally built for Shopify, Loop now supports all e-commerce platforms and enables brands to transform returns into revenue-retaining exchanges. The platform provides a REST API for creating return authorizations, tracking return status, managing exchange workflows, generating labels, and triggering refunds. Developers can also configure programmatic webhooks to receive real-time event notifications for returns, shipments, labels, and gift cards. API access is gated by scoped API keys passed via the X-Authorization header, with OAuth 2.0 required for the Label and Webhooks APIs.

Loop Returns publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Cart API, Destinations API, Fraud Reports API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Returns, E-Commerce, Exchanges, Refunds, and Shipping.

The Loop Returns catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Loop Returns’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, engineering blog, changelog, and 16 more developer resources.
