ReadyToShip can automatically generate eParcel Contract return labels when printing shipping labels. These can be included in shipments so customers can easily return items.


When Should I Use This?

Use return labels when you want to:

  • Include a prepaid return label inside a shipment

  • Make it easier for customers to send items back

  • Automatically generate return labels when printing eParcel shipping labels

If you need a return label after an order has already shipped, you can generate one using the Parcel Send Portal.


Enable Return Labels

  1. Go to Settings β†’ Carriers

  2. Edit your eParcel carrier

  3. Configure the return label settings

Generate Return Label

  • Yes – A return label is generated with each shipment

  • No – Return labels are not generated

Default Return Label Type

  • Standard

  • Express


How Return Labels Work

When enabled:

  • Return labels are generated at the same time as shipping labels

  • The Sender/Return address from your Store Settings is used

  • Return labels are included in the same PDF as shipping labels

PDF order

  1. Shipping labels

  2. Return labels

Return labels are grouped after shipping labels and cannot alternate with them.


Adding Return Labels to Individual Orders

  1. Open the order

  2. Edit Order Options

  3. Enable Return Label

  4. Print labels


Important

ReadyToShip currently cannot generate return labels for orders that have already been sent or archived.

If you need a return label for one of these orders, you can generate it using the Parcel Send Portal.

How much do return labels cost?
