Why Publish Policies?
Clear policies build trust before a customer orders. StoreYug shows them on your product pages, at checkout, in the order WhatsApp message and on a Store Policies page, and shares them with Google. They also add 6 points to your Store Visibility score.
Step-by-Step
- Open Store Settings (click your store name at the top, or account menu → Store Settings; on mobile: Menu (☰) → Store Settings) and select the Policies tab.
- Under Order Policies, turn on Show order policies on my store.
- Returns & Exchanges: choose Returns accepted (refund), Exchange only (no refund) or No returns or exchanges.
- If you accept returns or exchanges, fill in:
- Within how many days of delivery? 1 to 90 days.
- Who pays return shipping? Customer pays or Free for the customer.
- Delivery charges on a return: Not refunded or Refunded with the return.
- Cancellation requests: Accepted until I dispatch the order, Accepted until I confirm the order, or Not accepted once placed. Customers can't cancel by themselves; they message you on WhatsApp and you cancel the order.
- Additional terms (optional, up to 500 characters), e.g. "Unused items with original tags only. Customised orders cannot be returned."
- Check the Customers will see: preview, then click Save Policies.
How Policies Are Used Later
- Each order saves the policy that applied when it was placed. Its invoice shows that version, even if you change your policy later.
- When you return an order, the return window shows the policy and pre-fills the refund amount (e.g. without delivery charges if those aren't refunded). You can still change it.
🔁 Exchanges: don't use Return Order for an exchange, because that records a refund. Hand over the replacement and adjust its stock in Inventory.
For counter (POS) sales, set a separate policy: see How do I set a counter (POS) bill policy?
