Swipe Order Issues Resolution (Automatic Issue Resolution) & Reimbursements

Automatic Issue Resolution is Swipe’s solution to eliminating the time, effort, and cost required to resolve customer issues with a replacement order or refund when the customer encounters order issues with lost, damaged, or stolen packages.

Note: AIR is currently available for Shopify platforms and BigCommerce platforms.

Swipe Order Issues Resolution Overview

Swipe Order Issues Resolution Overview

When a customer makes a purchase from a merchant that is protected by Swipe Package Protection, and that package gets lost, stolen, or damaged during transit, the customer can report that issue to the merchant via Swipe’s Resolve Center.

Once the issue is reported, Swipe will assess the issue using Swipe’s policy rules to determine whether it qualifies for a replacement order or refund.

In the case where the issue does qualify, Swipe will automatically trigger a replacement order or refund to the customer (depending on the merchant’s preference, available inventory, etc.) using Shopify or the original form of payment.

Once the decision to replace or refund order has been made, Swipe will immediately execute the resolution without any need for human intervention by Swipe or the merchant.

Customer Experience

  • Customer orders from the merchant
  • Customers order is lost, stolen, or damaged in transit
  • Customer reports an order issue using Swipe's Resolve Center
  • Swipe will programmatically assess the issue using Swipe’s policy rules/guidelines to determine if the reported order issue qualifies for a replacement order or refund
  • If the reported issue does qualify, Swipe will automatically trigger a replacement order or refund to the customer, including shipping & taxes
  • If the reported issue doesn’t qualify, Swipe will notify the customer via the issue status page that their request has been denied and why it was denied

Merchant Experience

Merchants pay for reorders and refunds initially. Merchants will be credited weekly* for all refunds and reorders. Swipe’s integration with Shopify will allow the customer’s original form of payment to be credited, and merchants will initially cover the refund or reorder.

As of the pay period 11/23-11/29, Swipe will directly refund the merchant to a banking account of their choosing. Merchants will be able to update their banking information in the Swipe Portal.

*Note: Some of our partnered merchants are not on a weekly billing cadence. Reach out to your designated CSM or our Live Chat feature through our Help Center if you have any questions about about your billing with Swipe.

Reorders

Reorders will be processed through the original platform (Shopify). Reorders will look like a regular order but the details will show like:

When issuing a replacement via platform, Swipe will reimburse the merchant for the order subtotal and taxes paid by the customer on the original order. Swipe does not pay custom/duty fees.

Refunds

Refunds will be processed through the customer's original payment method. Refunds will be initiated by Swipe and look like:

Swipe issued a refund for Order ( #BM1419440 ID:2635015061575 RT159923894129YQT )

When issuing a refund via platform, Swipe will refund the order subtotal and taxes to the customer’s original payment method, and issue a reimbursement to the merchant. The Swipe premium is not included in the customer or merchant refund.

Swipe Communication

Email associated with the billing contact information will receive a regular report that includes every single credit with order details.
