Requires: X-Cart 5.6.0.17 or later.

The returns workflow keeps you and your customers informed automatically, with five email templates:

Template

Sent to

When

Order return created

Customer and admin (your Sales department email)

A customer submits a return request. Not sent for returns you create yourself — the customer gets the approval email instead.

Order return agreed

Customer

Each time you approve items and an RMA is issued — one email per RMA, with its packing slip attached.

Order return declined

Customer

You decline item(s), listing what was declined and your reason.

RMA cancelled

Customer

You cancel an RMA, with your reason — the email also notes that RMA’s packing slip is no longer valid.

Return received

Customer

You complete an RMA, confirming the items arrived and that any refund or store credit will follow your store’s policy.


Editing a template

Go to Store > Notifications and open any of the templates above. Each one shows a banner explaining exactly when it’s triggered, and you can toggle it off, edit the subject and body, and preview or send yourself a test copy — the same editor used for every other store email.

Order return created has separate Customer and Administrator tabs, since the same event emails two different audiences with different wording.
