Frequently asked questions

How do I track return requests in Google Sheets?

Link the form to Google Sheets and add a 'Status' column with options: Pending, Approved, Rejected, Refund Processed, Exchange Sent. Add a 'Handler' column to assign requests to team members.

Can I set a return window and reject requests outside it?

Add a note in the form description stating your return policy (e.g. 30 days from purchase). Google Forms doesn't enforce deadlines automatically, but your team can filter by 'Purchase Date' in Google Sheets to identify out-of-window requests.

Can customers attach photos of damaged items?

Yes. Add a 'File upload' question in Google Forms so customers can attach photos of faulty or damaged products. Note that respondents need a Google account to upload files.

How do I send a confirmation to the customer when I process their return?

Use AppScript or Zapier to trigger an automated email when the 'Status' column in Google Sheets is updated to 'Approved' or 'Refund Processed'. Include the expected refund timeline and any next steps.

How do I handle returns for digital products or subscriptions?

Add a 'Product Type' field (Physical product, Digital download, Subscription). For digital returns, your resolution options may differ — store credit or subscription pause are common alternatives to refunds.

Can I use this form for warranty claims as well as standard returns?

Yes. The 'Reason for Return' field includes fault-based options. For warranty claims, add a 'Warranty Reference' or 'Date of Original Purchase' field so the team can verify coverage before approving.
