Can AI be used to address differences among products within the same category?
Nathan Rivera
April 15, 2024 at 8:52 am
I work in the furniture industry with thousands of products and continuous new product listings.
Consumers often inquire about variations in materials and sizes between similar pieces of furniture, placing a significant burden on my support team. Generating comparison pages for every query we receive is unfeasible due to the volume of requests.
Given the potential of AI to suggest comparable items, could it also be leveraged to pinpoint disparities among products and present these distinctions to consumers? Such a system can alleviate my workload significantly and potentially reduce bounce rates as well.

Exclude specific products from exchange eligibility in the "Shop Now" (exchange on your own website) flow

What is the context
When using AfterShip Returns with the "Shop Now" / "exchange for anything" option that redirects customers to shop on the merchant's own store, customers can select any product available on the store as their exchange item.
What issue do you want to address?
There is currently no way to exclude specific products from being selectable as exchange items in this flow. The existing exclusion controls (the block list and excluding products from recommendations via product tags) only apply when AfterShip is recommending products or when "Exchange on AfterShip returns page" is selected. When customers shop directly on the merchant's own website via "Shop Now," these exclusions do not apply, so restricted products remain selectable. This allows customers to exchange low-value items for high-value products, resulting in margin loss and exchange abuse. The only current workaround, switching to "Exchange on AfterShip returns page," removes the on-store shopping experience the merchant wants to keep.
What outcome do you expect?
The ability to exclude specific products from being eligible exchange items while still using the "Shop Now" flow where customers shop on the merchant's own website. Ideally the exclusion could be defined by SKU, in addition to collection or product tag, since some merchants do not have the relevant products grouped in a collection and may not have access to create collections in Shopify.
Who will benefit from your idea?
Merchants using the "Shop Now" exchange flow who need to prevent certain products from being selected as exchange items, protecting their margins and preventing exchange abuse while preserving the branded on-site shopping experience during exchanges.

Personalized discount display rule
Lucas Scott
May 8, 2024 at 9:26 pm
So, as a seller who often runs campaigns, I would love to have a cool discount setup that can be customized based on how customers behave.
For example, I could keep discounts hidden for shoppers with shopping carts over $1,000 but display them for those who have smaller carts, so that they would shop more to get a better discount.
This strategy can be effectively applied to our product recommendations, enhancing conversion rates and boosting average order values.

Provide Cost of tracking as data in analytics
Ethan White

The ability to see how much it cost per tracking label for the carrier, alongside all the other analytics would be beneficial to business operations.
Having “cost” as a piece of data collect and display in analytics will help us make larger business decisions when it comes to choice of carrier preferences to know which carrier is best to work with in the long run. I believe this feature will be great value add to Aftership as well!

API Integration for Instagram Feed
Andrew Bird
August 14, 2025 at 12:47 pm
I'd like to log an enhancement request for the Tracking page editor. Currently the section where we add social media connectors is limited in connection options. Specifically for Instagram (which is a really cool feature) the only way to connect is using our own credentials (user name/password login). This is an unacceptable option as it exposes us to being hacked and is a security concern obviously. The better way to do this is via Instagram's API connection: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform.
Can you please log that as a high priority enhancement request? Should we decided to stay with AfterShip, this will be a critical branding requirement.

Show estimated delivery time on tracking pages
Amin Borghei
August 10, 2026 at 9:50 am
Most major carriers already provide an estimated delivery date/time as part of their tracking data, but this isn't currently surfaced in the app.
Context: Customers tracking a shipment want to know when it will arrive, not just its current status. Right now they have to infer this themselves or check the carrier's own site separately.
Issue to address: Add a field that displays the carrier's estimated delivery date (and time window, where the carrier provides one) on the tracking/order page. This would reduce "where is my order" support inquiries and improve the post-purchase experience.
Suggestion: Pull the estimated delivery data from carriers that already expose it via their APIs, and display it prominently near the shipment status.

Currently you can manually refund the shipping fee in the admin manually, but would like the ability for it to be automatic.

Add SKU numbers in the return portal
Rowan Valentin
January 28, 2025 at 2:24 pm
Goal:
To make it easier for customers to accurately select the correct item for return when using the return portal.
Preconditions:
The customer has placed an order containing multiple items, some of which may have similar or identical titles, colors, or sizes.
The SKU numbers for the items exist in the system but are not currently displayed in the return portal.
Trigger:
The customer initiates a return and accesses the return portal to select the item(s) they wish to return.
Basic Flow:
The customer logs into the return portal.
The portal displays the items from their order, including details such as title, color, size, and now the SKU number for each item.
The customer uses the SKU number to cross-reference their order confirmation or invoice, ensuring they select the correct item for return.
The customer completes the return process with confidence that the correct item has been selected.
Postconditions:
The customer successfully returns the correct item without confusion.
The support team receives fewer inquiries about mismatched returns.
Benefits:
For Customers:
Improved user experience by reducing confusion when selecting items for return.
Greater confidence in completing returns independently.
For the Business:
Reduced customer support requests related to returns.
Increased efficiency in processing returns, minimizing errors caused by incorrect item selection.
Priority: Medium – This enhancement has a high potential to improve customer satisfaction with a relatively low implementation effort.
Technical Requirements:
Modify the front-end display of the return portal to include SKU numbers as part of the product details.
Ensure the SKU numbers are fetched and displayed consistently across all customer orders.
This use case focuses on enhancing the clarity of the return process for customers while streamlining operational efficiency for the business.
