How this can enhance your business:
This data helps merchants identify which products are driving the most returns or exchanges, revealing potential issues with product quality, sizing, descriptions, or customer expectations. By analyzing return rates alongside quantity sold and return reasons, merchants can pinpoint problem items and make informed decisions—such as updating product listings, improving images, or discontinuing underperforming SKUs. Monitoring exchange rates also highlights whether customers are finding acceptable alternatives, which can inform inventory planning. Overall, these insights support better product curation, reduce operational costs, and improve customer satisfaction.
