Loop Returns

aid: loop-returns
name: Loop Returns
description: 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.
