Leírás

Withdrawal Period (days)

14

The legal consumer withdrawal period. The 14-day minimum is mandated by Directive (EU) 2023/2673 / 2011/83/EU; you may set a longer period, but not a shorter one.

Withdrawal Transit Buffer (days)

3

Days added to the carrier hand-over date to estimate the consumer receipt date when no carrier delivered-date is available (see How the deadline is calculated).

Return Period (days)

30

The window (from the delivered date) within which an ordinary customer web return is auto-approved. This is separate from the legal withdrawal period.

RMA Putaway — Shelf Category

The storage category that marks the physical shelves. A return is routed to the shelf where the product already has stock.

RMA Putaway — WEB Return Location

The fallback destination for returned products that are not yet on any shelf.

How the deadline is calculated

The withdrawal deadline is computed per order line, based on the actual receipt date of the outgoing delivery that shipped that line — not the date the goods were handed to the carrier.

The receipt date is determined as follows:

  1. if the carrier reports a delivered-date for the shipment, that date is used; otherwise

  2. the carrier hand-over date plus the Withdrawal Transit Buffer is used as an estimate.

The per-line withdrawal deadline is then the receipt date plus the Withdrawal Period.

Example

With the defaults, a parcel handed to the carrier on the 1st with no carrier delivered-date gets an estimated receipt date of the 4th (3-day buffer) and a withdrawal deadline of the 18th (14-day period).

Megjegyzés

A line that has not shipped yet has no deadline. The withdrawal button is still available for such lines, because consumers may withdraw before they receive the goods.

Fontos

The 14-day value is a legal minimum, not a recommendation to shorten. Configure a longer period if your terms grant one, and have the on-screen legal texts reviewed by your legal counsel before going live (see Right of withdrawal).

Return reasons

The reasons offered on the portal return form are the Customer RMA Reason records flagged as available to the portal. Withdrawals do not require a reason — a withdrawal is a no-reason right — but the ordinary return an agent starts from a withdrawal does, so make sure at least one refund-type reason is configured.
