How to Track Status of Refunds/Returns and Reimbursements in Amazon

In order to track the status of your refunds, returns , and reimbursements, you will need the following:

* Google Calendar
 
Here's how to get started:  https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37082?hl=en

* Order Number
* Email Account where you receive the refund email notifications.

Here are the methods I've been following to track the status: 

1. Login to the email account where you have received the refund email notifications.

2.  Search for the following terms:  Refund Initiated

3. You want search results to  include the past 90 days; items older than that will likely not be reimbursed at this point, even if you do find some.

4.  You will now see a list of  email notifications from Amazon regarding customer refunds which were initiated by Seller Central. Notice the Order # provided in the title of each email.

5. Research each order number provided to make sure of the following:

a) Item was actually returned to the Amazon warehouse;
b) Item was reimbursed by Amazon to your seller account.
c) Sometimes (this is a new policy) Amazon replaces the item with a unit of the very same inventory.  In this case, we do not request a credit.

Here is the recommended path to research the order number: 

Choose Reports; next Fulfillment; next Customer concessions --> returns

*If the item was not returned, please submit a ticket.
*If the item was returned but was NOT reimbursed, submit a ticket.

**Note, 45 days must pass before a reimbursement will be issued.  So for those within the past 45 days, you will set up a tracking system.

Place the order # into Google Calendar; make it an all-day 'event' so that a reminder email will be generated.

If a ticket needs to be submitted, this is the simple version recommended, if you cannot find evidence of a reimbursement:

Text of the ticket:

Hello,

Order number______ was refunded to the customer on (date). It has now been more than 45 days; please investigate and credit if appropriate.

Thank you for your assistance.

Seller
Company Name

How/where to submit the ticket for quicker response:

1. click HELP, top right menu of main screen. Then choose Contact Us.
2.  Choose Selling on Amazon -->  Customers and Orders  --> Input your order number in the search bar  --> The click next  --> Then select the option return and refund issues >> Then click "Processing a Refund Issue" or you may wish to select "Other customer and order issues"

Radio buttons for product variations in Shopify

1. Go to Shopify Dashboard >> Themes >> Template Editor.
2. Under Templates Folder at the left side, click product.liquid.
3. Click Control F and look for product-variants id. Right below it, you can see these codes for
pull down menu. I just comment it out so anytime I want to revert to pull down menu, I have these codes right away.
         <!--
               <select id="product-select" name="id" class="hidden">
               {% for variant in product.variants %}
                 <option value="{{ variant.id }}">{{ variant.title }} - {{ variant.price | money }}</option>
               {% endfor %}
               </select> -->

4. After commenting out, place these codes for radio buttons.

<div class="selector-wrapper">
 <ul> {% for variant in product.variants %}
   <li>         
        <label for="radio_{{ variant.id }}" class="radio"><input id="radio_{{ variant.id }}" type="radio" name="id" {% if forloop.first %}checked="checked"{% endif %} value="{{ variant.id }}">
                        {{ variant.title }} - {{ variant.price | money }}
         </label>
   </li>
      {% endfor %}
  </ul>
</div> 

5. This is how it looks.

 6. To give more emphasis on the offered products,  I add styles by alternating bold texts and regular. Just add these codes, above the div. It goes this way.

 <style>
.selector-wrapper ul li label{ font-weight:bold; }
.selector-wrapper ul li:nth-child(odd) label{font-weight:normal; }
</style>

<div class="selector-wrapper">
 <ul> {% for variant in product.variants %}
   <li>         
        <label for="radio_{{ variant.id }}" class="radio"><input id="radio_{{ variant.id }}" type="radio" name="id" {% if forloop.first %}checked="checked"{% endif %} value="{{ variant.id }}">
                        {{ variant.title }} - {{ variant.price | money }}
         </label>
   </li>
      {% endfor %}
  </ul>
</div>

7. That's all folks. It should work like a charm!

How to redirect "Thank You" page to a desired page in Shopify?

According to Shopify docs, the "Thank You page" is the last page your customer visits when he or she orders from your store. In most instances, the Thank You page is page 3 of 3 in the checkout process.  The Thank You page can be customized in three ways:

• Checkout translation
• Create your own css file
• Additional Content & Scripts to add content to your Thank You page

In this tutorial, I'll be teaching you how to redirect "Thank You" page to your desired Thank You page url using simple JavaScript window location.

In your Shopify Dashboard, go to the Settings > Checkout page.  Scroll down and find the Additional Content & Scripts box.  That box is where you add additional instructions or scripts you would  like to show on the Thank You page of the checkout.  In our case, we want that the existing Shopify "Thank You" page will redirect to our desired thank you page.

Here's what to do. 

Paste this script inside the box, and replace the highlighted url with your own url. 
  

<script>
window.location ="http://texasadjusteracademy.com/pages/training-order-received";
</script>

Don't forget to save your changes.

Responsive Widgetized Footer for the Thesis Classic Responsive Theme

Does the newest version Thesis 2.1 drive you crazy? If yes, our feelings are mutual.  I've been working for a few hours already creating extra widgets in the footer area via skin editor, and unfortunately, it does not end up to be responsive. 

Good thing I found this box, that adds responsive widgets to Responsive Classic Skin. It's effortless since all you have to do is download and install the box. Once installed, just set the number of widget you want to display (up to 4), then you're DONE!

Create CNAME for Domain Verification: Namecheap

Assuming you have added your domain in Zoho Mail for email hosting, the next step is to verify your domain. I have not found a particular tutorial creating CNAME for domain verification between Zoho hosting and Namecheap, so I tried playing around the settings and luckily it worked like a charm!

There are actually two steps available for verification in Zoho, namely: CNAME Method, and HTML Method  but I prefer CNAME method since I have no full access of our site's editor in shopify.  But before anything else, you have to generate verification code before you can proceed to CNAME record. I've found a simple tutorial from ZOHO and I pasted it over. Here's how.


Excerpt via: https://adminconsole.wiki.zoho.com/domains/Domain-Validation.html#cname 

Generate the verification code in Zoho Control Panel: 

1. Login to your Zoho Mail account as Super Admin
2. Click Control Panel >> Domains
3. Click the Validate button, to launch the domain verification page.
4. Select the CNAME Radio button to generate the code. Note the CNAME (Alias) the code generated for your account. Copy the zb**** code
   
5. You can select the Domain provider from the drop down to 
6. The code generated will be of the format zb******** and unique for each domain added in Zoho.

Copy the code or note down the code somewhere. This code should be added in the CNAME Records of your DNS Manager for verification.

Create CNAME for domain verification in Namecheap (documented by me)

1. Login to your Namecheap account with your username and password.
2. Hover over Domains tab at the far left , then click manage domains.
3. Select the domain you want to create CNAME records for
4. Click on All Host Records (missing All Host Records option?)
5. Under sub-domain settings, add values as shown below:

6. If the TTL is editable, reduce the TTL to 300 seconds or the minimum possible value recommended by your Registrar.

7. Click Save.  Click to your Zoho mail control panel and click verify.
