GM is there a way to close an exception order rather than a total delete?

Instead of directly integrating Aftership with Gmail, I would like to send my emails with package information to an aftership email address associated with my account, for aftership to parse and automatically show tracking information. 

Integration of Sharetown to schedule pickups of items being returned. The process involves Sharetown picking up items directly from the customer's doorstep without the need for packaging. Once the items are picked up, Sharetown will resell the items through their channels and provide business with an agreed-upon gain-share payback based on the resale price.   Key Requirements: No label generation is needed as Sharetown will handle the pickup. A system integration will be needed to push the return data to Sharetown as a pickup request in their system. Sharetown will manage the logistics and resale of the items.

Description: Aftership is a powerful tracking solution, but one major limitation is its inability to seamlessly track shipments handled by multiple carriers under a single tracking number. This creates gaps in tracking visibility, especially for cross-border shipments, multi-leg deliveries, or packages transferred between courier services. Why Aftership Needs ParcelApp Integration ParcelApp is a cutting-edge tracking solution that can consolidate multiple carrier updates into a single tracking number, ensuring a continuous, uninterrupted tracking experience—something Aftership currently lacks. Integrating ParcelApp into Aftership would provide several benefits: One Tracking Number, Full Visibility Many shipments pass through multiple carriers (e.g., a package starts with FedEx, then transfers to USPS). ParcelApp aggregates tracking data across different couriers, allowing customers to track their shipments without needing multiple tracking numbers or checking different carrier websites. Eliminate Tracking Gaps & Improve Accuracy Currently, when a package changes carriers, Aftership often loses visibility until the new carrier scans the shipment. With ParcelApp’s integration, tracking would remain consistent, even if the carrier changes mid-transit. Essential for Cross-Border and Dropshipping Businesses Global commerce relies on multi-carrier logistics. Many eCommerce sellers and dropshipping businesses depend on third-party logistics providers (3PLs) that transfer packages between multiple carriers before final delivery. ParcelApp ensures that customers don’t lose visibility just because a package has switched to a new courier. Enhanced Customer Experience & Reduced Support Inquiries When customers see tracking gaps, they flood support teams with "Where is my order?" questions. By integrating ParcelApp, Aftership can provide end-to-end tracking accuracy, reducing customer frustration and cutting down unnecessary support requests. Proposed Solution: Integrate ParcelApp (https://parcelsapp.com/) directly into Aftership’s tracking system to allow shipments with multiple carriers to be tracked under a single tracking number. Ensure that ParcelApp's multi-carrier tracking capabilities work seamlessly within Aftership’s dashboard, API, and branded tracking pages. Offer this as a standard feature for all Aftership users, as it enhances the core value of Aftership by improving tracking consistency, accuracy, and customer satisfaction. By adding this integration, Aftership would take a huge leap forward in solving a major pain point for businesses and customers alike, making it an even more indispensable tracking solution in the logistics and eCommerce space.

Like to set their own “Image not found” image for Products in the Returns Portal. That way, If a Product is not sent to AfterShip with an Image URL, they have an image that looks more branded.   Today, when an item does have an img url, the Return Portal defaults to the missing image icon.   Request - have a function within Return Portal where if any items on my return portal dont have an image URL, it can set to a image that I select instead of defaulting to the standard broken/no image icon.

We are a worldwide dropshipping service catering to e-commerce entrepreneurs. Merchants can design and market personalized products through us, setting prices and choosing their sales platforms from our integrated e-commerce options.   Once merchants place orders, we will handle the manufacturing, fulfillment, and shipping logistics to consumers.   When I am using Aftership for tracking, I want to enable my premium customers (merchants) with the ability to customize white label branded tracking pages and possibly an API to create them (since they won't have access to Aftership admin, and it would be impossible for me to maintain all tracking pages for them).   So that I can add this ability as part of the product & service package for my main customers (merchants), which creates more value for my business.

A notification to give the customer the opportunity to change their requested ship date. This allows wineries to change the date without re-directing.  Using the RSD and sending a notification 3 days or so before. 

It would be very helpful if customers could select their preferred size during the exchange process, with real-time visibility of stock availability on the website. For example, when a customer initiates an exchange, the system should show whether the requested size is currently in stock. If the size is unavailable, it should display “Sold Out” instead of allowing the exchange to proceed. This feature would prevent unnecessary back-and-forth communication, improve customer experience, and reduce manual handling for merchants. Platforms like Revolve already offer this type of functionality, and it would be an excellent addition to AfterShip Returns.

As a business owner, having precise accounting records is essential for tax purposes. It's particularly important to account for returns correctly by adjusting for them and deducting the relevant taxes to prevent overpayment.   I've observed that Shopify currently only accommodates refunds, lacking store credit or exchange options for returns. Therefore, if aftership Return could support all three options and assist in reconciling taxes and producing accurate tax reports for returns, it would greatly benefit our operations.

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!
