# Exchange​Line​Item​Connection

connection

An auto-generated type for paginating through multiple ExchangeLineItems.

## Fields with this connection

* [Return.exchangeLineItems](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Return#field-Return.fields.exchangeLineItems)

  OBJECT

  The `Return` object represents the intent of a buyer to ship one or more items from an order back to a merchant or a third-party fulfillment location. A return is associated with an [order](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Order) and can include multiple return [line items](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/LineItem). Each return has a [status](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/orders-fulfillment/returns-apps#return-statuses), which indicates the state of the return.

  Use the `Return` object to capture the financial, logistical, and business intent of a return. For example, you can identify eligible items for a return and issue customers a refund for returned items on behalf of the merchant.

  Learn more about providing a [return management workflow](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/orders-fulfillment/returns-apps/build-return-management) for merchants. You can also manage [exchanges](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/orders-fulfillment/returns-apps/manage-exchanges), [reverse fulfillment orders](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/orders-fulfillment/returns-apps/manage-reverse-fulfillment-orders), and [reverse deliveries](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/orders-fulfillment/returns-apps/manage-reverse-deliveries) on behalf of merchants.
