  1. Go to Settings

  2. Click Request Settings

  3. Open the General tab

  4. Scroll down to Return Shipping Cost


Standard Return Shipping Cost

The Standard Return Shipping Cost lets you apply a default fee that will be deducted from the customer's refund when a return is processed.


Note: This fee only applies to returns and complaints and is not deducted for exchanges.

How to enable it

  1. Enable Deduct standard return shipping cost from customers

  2. Select the currencies you want to apply the fee to

  3. Enter the return shipping amount for each currency

Once enabled, the amount will automatically be deducted from the customer's refund when the return is processed.

You can also adjust the amount manually for individual returns if needed.

Click the pen icon to edit the return shipping cost.

Select the currencies you want to enable.

Enter the return shipping cost for each currency.


Setting Return Shipping Cost in Multiple Currencies

If your store supports multiple currencies, you can define a return shipping cost per currency.

For example:

Currency

Return shipping cost

SEK

59

EUR

6

DKK

45

This ensures customers are charged the correct return shipping fee based on the currency used in their order.

Only currencies supported by your store will be visible here.


Refunding the Original Shipping Cost

You can also choose whether the original shipping cost from the order should be refunded. This allows you to align the return flow with your store’s return policy.


Custom Costs

Returbo also allows you to configure custom return costs.

This can be useful if you want to apply additional charges such as:

  • Handling fees

  • Processing fees

  • Other return-related costs

These costs can be enabled and applied when needed during the return process.


I Can't See a Currency (for example NOK)

If you cannot see a currency such as NOK, EUR, or DKK, the most common reason is that the currency is not enabled in your Shopify store.

Returbo only displays currencies that are supported by your store.

For example, if NOK is not enabled in Shopify, it will not appear when setting the return shipping cost.

How to check this

  1. Go to Shopify Admin

  2. Open Settings

  3. Click Markets

  4. Select the relevant market (for example Norway)

  5. Check which currency is enabled

Once the currency is enabled in Shopify, it will automatically appear in Returbo.
