Loop Returns & Exchanges

Rece was wonderful!

We didn’t even get the chance to become Loop’s customer or fully test their system. After a phone meeting with one of their sales reps, we were promised a demo first thing Monday morning. However, two weeks passed with no word from them, and we had to reach out ourselves to get things moving again. When we finally received the demo, it was extremely limited, allowing us to test only a few functions.

Despite clearly communicating multiple times that we needed access to all features for a proper evaluation, we were denied this access. This was incredibly frustrating, especially considering we were told it would be possible.

After dealing with their inattentive and dismissive customer service, we were eventually ghosted by their support. In the end, it became clear that Loop wasn’t interested in having us as a customer, despite our clear interest in their highest-tier plan.

After wasting so much of our time, we decided it wasn’t worth pursuing them further. Their repeated lack of interest and poor engagement convinced us to look elsewhere.

Easy to Use, Monitor and Process Requests.

First, let's talk experience:

- Loop has had THE best enterprise onboarding experience we've had. Their multi-collaboration tool made implementation a breeze, despite having to rope in multiple external teams (email, devs, CS, etc). Everything was laid out in explicit detail, with step-by-step guides and time estimates as well. I wish every company were as organized as Loop's onboarding process.
- Olivia (sales), Taylor (implementation), and Wendy (merchant success) have been lovely to work with. Each person we've worked with at Loop has been highly responsive, which I love — previous companies we worked with felt like emailing into the void.

Next, let's talk product:

- Both we and our customers LOVE the Shop Now feature. Most of our products don't have variants, so we were previously limited by variant-only exchanges.
- Our older customer love having the option for printerless returns in our various markets. This allowed us to replace a second app we were using for printerless returns in Canada and it helps us be accessible.
- The analytics reporting is in depth, while not requiring a data science degree. (If you know you know!)
- Loop has integrations with the rest of our tech stack, including our WMS. This is huge. I will say that the integration with Rise has been a bit buggy, but I believe that's a problem on the Rise side (not the Loop side).

Pricing:
- We were previously on a flat monthly fee rather than a pay-per-return model, and from a finance perspective, I much prefer the stability of monthly fees. That said, they're also rolling out a new model where technically the customer pays instead of the merchant.
- Only complaint is that the invoicing team sends the invoice the exact same day they automatically charge it, and since that amount can significantly vary, sometimes it leaves our finance team scrambling.
- Overall, there are certainly cheaper return platforms, but I think Loop provides enough value for the price that it charges. :)

I appreciate Emma's help!

Great support and great tool

Quick turnaround for support with sufficient solutions!

Great team to get your onboarded. Has made for a better experience for our customers, and simplified processes internally.

Loop Returns & Exchanges allowed us to significantly improve our customer's experience when something they bought didn't work out. Making it easy for them to return and exchange coupled with upsell and revenue retention elements is a win-win for both our customer and our company's bottom line. We've been able to keep our return rate low, while be easy to do business with.
