This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses that sell physical products and deal with frequent return requests. By offering customers the ability to initiate returns directly through the portal, businesses can significantly reduce the administrative burden on their customer service teams. It also enhances the overall customer experience by providing a transparent, efficient, and straightforward return process, which improves customer satisfaction and trust.
