ReturnCreatePayload

The created return.

The list of errors that occurred from executing the mutation.

Creates a return from an existing order that has at least one fulfilled line item that hasn't yet been refunded. If you create a return on an archived order, then the order is automatically unarchived.

Use the returnCreate mutation when your workflow involves approving or declining requested returns outside of the Shopify platform.

The returnCreate mutation performs the following actions:

• Creates a return in the OPEN state, and assumes that the return request from the customer has already been approved
• Creates a reverse fulfillment order, and enables you to create a reverse delivery for the reverse fulfillment order
• Creates a sales agreement with a RETURN reason, which links to all sales created for the return or exchange
• Generates sales records that reverse the sales records for the items being returned
• Generates sales records for any exchange line items

After you've created a return, use the return query to retrieve the return by its ID. Learn more about providing a return management workflow for merchants.
