The Sendcloud **Returns API** lets you create standalone returns easily and
efficiently, so you can seamlessly incorporate returns into your existing
workflow, ERP or WMS system. This API can be used in conjunction with other
core Sendcloud features or independently.

content: >-
The Create a return endpoint is the heart of the Returns API; it
allows you to create a stand-alone return, based mainly on the `to`
and `from_address`, parcel `weight` and the `ship_with` object.
You can provide a list of items and item descriptions to be included
in the return via the `parcel_items` field (optional).
The `parcel_items` field is **mandatory** if you're creating a return from outside the EU. This is because information about the parcel contents must be provided in order to generate the required customs documents.
## The `ship_with` object
This object is used to select a shipping method for the return. There
are two ways of selecting a shipping method:
- By providing a `shipping_option_code` (find the code using the
[Shipping options API](/api/v3/shipping-options)).
- By providing a `shipping_product_code` and a set of
`functionalities`.
Functionalities are used to filter the right shipping method within the product. Find this data using the [Retrieve a list of shipping products](/api/v2/shipping-products/retrieve-a-list-of-shipping-products) endpoint.
The `contract` attribute refers to the ID of a direct contract you
have with the carrier. Get the IDs for your contracts from the
[Retrieve a list of
contracts](/api/v3/contracts/retrieve-a-list-of-contracts) endpoint.
If you have more than one active contract for a specific carrier, you must fill the `contract` attribute with your desired contract ID in your request.
## Retrieve return shipping products
In your request, you must provide an appropriate
`shipping_product_code` and a set of `functionalities` inside the
`ship_with` object. To find a suitable product, refer to the [Retrieve
a list of shipping
products](/api/v2/shipping-products/retrieve-a-list-of-shipping-products)
endpoint.
You can filter for a return method by flagging the `returns` field as
`true`, and by including the `from_country` and `to_country` fields.
The more fields you specify, the more refined the results will be.
This helps you find the most appropriate shipping product for your
return parcel.
It's also possible to filter based on your preferred [shipping
functionality](/api/v2/shipping-products/retrieve-a-list-of-shipping-functionalities),
e.g. `age_check=18`, `delivery_before`, etc.
## Add return reasons
You can (optionally) assign a **return reason** to `parcel_items` by
providing a`return_reason_id` and entering a value from the key below.
Assigning return reasons to items provides you with analyzable data
you can use to predict return trends or identify issues with
particular products.
| Return Reason ID | Description |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | Product did not match expectations |
| 3 | Other (explain in message) |
| 4 | Incorrect product ordered |
| 6 | Product did not match description on website |
| 7 | Wrong product shipped |
| 8 | No reason |
| 9 | Rent |
| 10 | Does not work |
| 11 | Changed my mind |
| 12 | Did not meet expectations |
| 13 | Excessive amount |
| 14 | Better price available |
| 15 | Accidental order |
| 16 | No longer needed |
| 17 | Sample products |
| 18 | Looks different than expected |
| 19 | Ordered more than one size |
| 20 | Arrived too late |
| 21 | Poor quality / Faulty |
| 22 | Does not fit properly |
| 23 | Does not suit me |
| 24 | Incorrect product received |
| 25 | Parcel damaged on arrival |
| 26 | Wrong size ordered |
| 27 | Wrong color ordered |
| 28 | Does not function as expected |
| 29 | Recycle or reuse packaging |
| 30 | Size too large |
| 31 | Size too small |
| 32 | Holiday season return |
## Retrieve the shipping label for this return
Once the parcel for the created return is announced, you can download
the shipping label for it.
Find the documentation on how to retrieve a label for a parcel on the
[Retrieve a parcel
document](/api/v3/parcel-documents/retrieve-a-parcel-document)
endpoint.
The url for downloading the label is also available on the Return
object (Only if the parcel is announced). To retrieve a return, take a
look at the [Retrieve a return](/api/v3/returns/retrieve-a-return)
endpoint.
To learn more about all the options for retrieving labels and customs
declaration documents, refer to the [Parcel documents
API](/api/v3/parcel-documents) documentation.

The response includes return data for each parcel, plus up-to-date
tracking history.
The returned data is paginated and has a default number of items per
page of `40`, which can be controlled by the `page_size` query param.
You can filter the results to only include return parcels created
within a specific time frame using the `from_date` and `to_date`
parameters, or based on the `parent_parcel_status`.

Not all carriers support upstream label cancellation via an API

received and the carrier supports label cancellation.
You can check the `parent_status` of the return via the [Retrieve a
return](/api/v3/returns/retrieve-a-return) endpoint to confirm whether
the actual cancellation was successful.
You can find more information about carriers which do not support label cancellation requests in our [help center](https://support.sendcloud.com/hc/en-us/articles/4461608475284-How-to-cancel-a-return-shipment).

This endpoint allows you to validate whether a return can be announced
**without** actually creating the return or announcing it with the
carrier. You can structure the request body exactly as you would if
you were making a request to the [Create a
return](/api/v3/returns/create-a-return) endpoint.
When you make the request, the response will indicate whether the
parcel is valid and can be announced. Validation is based mainly on
the `to` and `from` address, the parcel `weight` and the shipping
product `id` provided.
The `parcel_items` field is **mandatory** if you're creating a return from outside the EU.

description: >-

x-mint:
href: /api/v3/returns/create-a-return-synchronously
content: >-
This endpoint will create a return, similarly to the [Create a
return](/api/v3/returns/create-a-return) endpoint, but via a
synchronous API request. This means that the API will wait for a
response from the carrier before you can continue.
This endpoint is primarily used for **debugging purposes** in the
event that a return parcel announcement fails, as it will retrieve the
carrier announcement error. Creating a return synchronously can impact
the performance of the endpoint, as the process will take longer than
calls to the [Create a return](/api/v3/returns/create-a-return)
endpoint.
**Note:** The `parcel_items` field is mandatory if you're creating a return from outside the EU.
