## Mutations with this payload

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

  mutation

  Creates a return request that requires merchant approval before processing. The return has its status set to `REQUESTED` and the merchant must approve or decline it.

  Use this mutation when customers initiate returns that need review. After creating a requested return, use [`returnApproveRequest`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/returnApproveRequest) to approve it or [`returnDeclineRequest`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/returnDeclineRequest) to decline it.

  For returns that should be immediately open for processing, use the [`returnCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/returnCreate) mutation instead.
