Each ReturnLogic account is connected to a unique Shopify store via API integration. Because ReturnLogic updates to reflect changes in Shopify regularly, this means ReturnLogic can only refer to information that is currently stored in Shopify. Generally, if you can't locate order information within Shopify, it would also not be found in ReturnLogic.
It is not advised to delete Shopify info that may impact your ability to process returns.
This article will include the following topics:

FAQ
ReturnLogic FAQ
Why can't I find the order I'm looking for in ReturnLogic's Orders Beta or Originate tabs?
If you can't find the order in ReturnLogic, first check to see if it exists in Shopify. If it is not in Shopify, it will not be in ReturnLogic.
If I can't locate the order in Shopify, can my shopper still complete a return request in the return center?
If you can't locate the order in Shopify, your shopper would not be able to use it within the return center. You can have your shopper create a Third-Party Warranty return if you have that feature enabled, and from there send the shopper a new item. Read more about Third-Party Warranty here.
