Common questions.

Return Prime and Loop are web portal-based — your customer gets an email link, visits a portal, and fills a form. Hublle's entire return/exchange flow happens inside WhatsApp. Since 80%+ of your customers are already messaging on WhatsApp, conversion is dramatically higher. Plus, Hublle is part of a full CX platform — you get the inbox, COD verification, cart recovery, and returns all in one, not a standalone returns app you need to maintain separately.
Hublle's Returns Engine works with all Shopify plans including Basic. It connects via the Shopify API to fetch order data, fulfilment dates, and product variants. Setup takes under 10 minutes from the Shopify App Store.
Hublle sends a polite, customisable WhatsApp message explaining why the request can't be processed — whether it's outside the return window, the reason isn't covered, or it's a final-sale item. You can customise these response messages from the dashboard. If the customer escalates, the conversation is routed to your team in the Hublle inbox.
Currently Hublle integrates with Delhivery, Xpressbee, DTDC, and Bluedart via their APIs. You can configure which carrier to use as default, or set priority rules (e.g., try Delhivery first, fallback to Xpressbee). More carriers are being added — contact us if your preferred carrier isn't listed.
The exchange flow is designed for variant swaps within the same product (size, colour). For exchanges involving a completely different product, the request is escalated to your team in the Hublle inbox so an agent can handle it manually. This keeps the 95% automation rate intact while still covering edge cases gracefully.
The automated Returns & Exchange Engine is available on the Hublle Pro plan (₹6,999/month or ₹5,200/month on annual). It includes full automation, all logistics integrations, refund rule configuration, and the exchange self-serve flow. The Growth plan includes basic return tracking but not full automation. You can start with a 14-day free trial on any plan.
