Return Policy Format for Merchant Return Policies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This documentation explains the format used for defining merchant return policies, including the required fields and their corresponding values. The format allows defining return policies based on country, return category, days, return methods, and fees. The rules are designed to be flexible and comply with Schema.org standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Format Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The return policy is structured in the following format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

applicableCountry : returnPolicyCategory : merchantReturnDays : returnMethod : returnFees : returnShippingFeesAmount : currency\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Each part of the rule is separated by a colon (:<\/code>), and the order and content of these parts define the specifics of the return policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
