Workaround for exchanging to other/different products
This is a common option for a lot of merchants - exchanging for a different product. At the moment, as you already know, there are only Variant Exchanges, meaning you can only exchange for a different variant of the same product.
So, in this case, we've come up with a solution for you in order to still have this option available for your customers and suit your returns process.
In order to accomplish this:
- do not turn off the Variant Exchange option - leave it as is, so customers can be able to exchange for a different variant
- in Return Settings -> General, right next to the Exchange Product option, enable one of the Custom options, giving it a name like "Exchange for a different product" (example).
Example
As a result, the customer will be able to either select the dynamic variant-exchange option or select the custom option and type in the text box the different product they would like to exchange for.
