Return Prime review

Return Prime offers one of the cheapest full feature sets for Shopify stores. The Free plan handles 5 return requests a month with a branded portal, variant exchanges, unlimited return reasons, a multi-language customer portal and an EU-compliant withdrawal button. Grow, at $19.99 a month for 60 requests, adds Shop Now storefront exchanges, Instant Exchange, refund to store credit, pro-rated refunds on buy X get Y orders and open API and webhook access. Thrive AI at $79.99 a month brings AI exchange discounts, intelligent return fees, fraud analytics and customer profile based incentives, plus an account manager. Scale at $149.99 adds WMS integrations, unlimited users and SLA management. Pricing is per request, with $0.49 for each extra request on most plans and $0.79 on Thrive AI. The main limit is reach: Return Prime runs only on Shopify, so stores on other platforms need a different tool.
