Settings: E-mail templates

Which return emails yayloh sends, when customers receive them, and how to set them up.

Written by Vineeta Pendse

yayloh sends your customers an automatic email when their return is registered. You can edit these emails under Settings > E-mail templates.


Which email does the customer get?

Email template

When it's sent

RETURN_RECEIVED_SHIPPING_LABEL

Return request received with shipping label

A return, exchange, withdrawal or claim is registered, and the label is created automatically. The customer gets the label immediately.

For claims, this applies whether or not the claim flow with replacement orders is enabled in Settings > Claims.

Most of your customers get this email.

RETURN_RECEIVED

Return received

A return is registered without a label. This happens when:

  • a label error occurs

  • the customer returns from a country without automatic labels

  • a new claim is waiting for review

  • the customer chooses to drop off the return in store in the return form

IN_STORE_RETURN

In-store returns

Anything is submitted through the in-store form.

CUSTOMER_DISCOUNT_NOTIFICATION

Store credit

Store credit is approved as a Shopify discount code or Centra voucher. The text is fixed, but the design follows your other templates.

Tip: Since RETURN_RECEIVED is used in several situations, keep the text general. For example: "We've received your return request and will get back to you shortly." Avoid writing only "contact us to get your label."

Good to know: You may also see RETURN_SHIPPING_STATUS_CHANGED, DELIVERY_SHIPPING_STATUS_CHANGED and ORDER_IMPORT_NOTIFICATION in the list. These templates aren't in use, so you can ignore them.


Emails yayloh doesn't send

  • Refunds and new exchange orders: confirmations come from Shopify, Centra or your order system. yayloh can't customize these.

  • Tracking updates (for example "dropped off" or "arrived at the warehouse"): you can set these up with the yayloh-Klaviyo integration.


Set up the sender

  • Turn ON Email Template: switch this on to send the emails.

  • Sender name and Sender e-mail: the name and address the email is sent from. The address or its domain must first be verified under Settings > Email identities. See Verify your domain.

  • Reply-to name and Reply-to e-mail: where customer replies go, usually your support address.

Tip: Avoid a no-reply sender address. Customers do reply to these emails, and no-reply addresses are more likely to end up in spam.
