## Mutations with this payload

* [return​Process](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/returnProcess)

  mutation

  Processes a return by confirming which items customers return and exchange, handling their disposition, and optionally issuing refunds. This mutation confirms the quantities for [`ReturnLineItem`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ReturnLineItem) and [`ExchangeLineItem`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ExchangeLineItem) objects previously created on the [`Return`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Return).

  For returned items, you specify how to handle them through dispositions such as restocking or disposal. The mutation creates [`FulfillmentOrder`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/FulfillmentOrder) objects for exchange items and records all transactions in the merchant's financial reports. You can optionally issue refunds through financial transfers, apply refund duties, and refund shipping costs.
