How to Set a Tracking Number for a Return Without Generating a New Return Label

In cases where you already have a return label and tracking number for a return, WeSupply allows you to assign the existing tracking number to the return request without creating a new label. This feature is perfect for streamlining the return process when you’ve already prepared a return shipment for your customer.

This option provides several benefits for managing returns efficiently:

• Avoid Duplicate Labels: Prevents generating unnecessary return labels when one is already available.
• Simplified Process: Makes it easier to process returns without disrupting the tracking workflow.
