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 17 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime (on an ambiguous tag, where no other regime matched), so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/loop-returns: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
