Loop Returns

Loop allows Shopify brands to automate their entire returns process, even exchanges.

How it works

With Loop & Gorgias working together, you can create a seamless support experience by placing all returns data inside your Gorgias admin. Stay focused and close tickets faster by viewing refund status, shipping status, return reasons, and more in the same window you use to talk to customers. You can also navigate directly to your Loop return portal directly from Gorgias for faster processing.`

1. Click Add HTTP Integration

Activate the following triggers: 

• Ticket created

Testing the integration

You will now test your integration to confirm data is flowing correctly from Loop into Gorgias. To do that, you will trigger the HTTP integration with a customer that has an existing Exchange request in Loop. 

1. Navigate to the Loop Admin under the Returns tab and click on an existing Exchange request. Then, copy the customer’s email address.

1. Head back to Gorgias Helpdesk, navigate to Customers > Search Customers and paste the customer's email address in the search bar. Then, click the customer profile. 
2. Inside the customer profile, click Create ticket. 
3. In the newly created ticket leave an internal note “Loop Integration Activation”. This will activate your integration as it corresponds to one of the trigger event for the integration. 

1. Click the Settings Wheel in the upper right corner to Edit Widgets. 

1. Scroll down to HTTP Data to find Loop Returns. 

1. Drag the Loop Returns box to the right side of your widgets column. The widget is now active. 

Formatting the Loop widget

You will now edit your Loop Returns widget to display only the information that is most valuable to you and add smart hyperlinks to quickly navigate between Gorgias & Loop. 

1. Edit the widget title by clicking the settings wheel next to the HTTP Title. 

1. Enter the following information & click Submit. Make sure that the link corresponds to the customer return portal of your store, for example https://gorgias-store.loopreturns.com/. This will create a direct link to your customer return portal from the Gorgias Helpdesk.

1. Scroll down to the section Data (list), hover over the section and click the Settings Wheel to edit the title & link of the section. Enter the information exactly as follows, and click Submit. 

This will create a direct link to the request's details in the Loop admin for any return you are viewing in Gorgias.
