What ecommerce-returns-management does

The skill walks through returns in steps. It first pulls the product, platform, current situation and goal out of your message. Then it asks one follow-up question as a multiple-choice list, and shorthand answers like "1b 2c 3a" are fine. After that comes the analysis and a prioritized action list.

Inside are return-rate benchmarks by category, return reason analysis, return cost calculation (shipping, restocking, loss), reverse logistics design, and listing fixes such as size guides, photos and descriptions. There is a separate block on keeping the customer after a return. Supported platforms: Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Etsy, eBay and BigCommerce.

Estimates built on incomplete data get flagged with a warning marker, so you can see where a conclusion rests on facts and where it is a rough call. Install it through npx skills add, since the skill lives in the nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills repository rather than a plugin marketplace. GitHub Copilot uses a different command, gh skill install.

What it helps with

  • find out why the return rate sits above the category average
  • work out what each return costs once shipping and restocking are counted
  • rewrite the returns policy without driving customers away
  • map reverse logistics from parcel drop-off to refund
  • add size guides and photos to a listing so fewer items come back

Example prompts for the agent

  • My return rate is 22% on Amazon, clothing category. Industry average is 15-20%. Analyze why and tell me what to cut.
  • Design a reverse logistics flow for Shopify, from return request to refund.
  • Calculate the return cost for my product: shipping both ways, restocking, loss.
