# Gift Returns Portal

## Overview

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Gift Returns Portal is currently available for Shopify only.
{% endhint %}

The Gift Returns Portal is a <code class="expression">space.vars.Product\_ReturnsPortal</code> for end-users who are not the customer that made the original store purchase.&#x20;

The link to the Gift Returns Portal can be communicated via email during the delivery process or accessed from a link in your online shop.

Gift receivers can login with the order number and the zip code of the delivery address and select between receiving a gift card for your store or exchanging the item for a different color or size.&#x20;

They can also update their contact information in the Gift Returns Portal to ensure they receive all communication about their gift return.&#x20;

#### Key Benefits

Enabling gift receivers to return or exchange gifts without contacting the gift giver can enhance the overall gifting experience. The Gift Returns Portal enables digital returns for gifts, extending the existing online shopping experience for gifts by accommodating various preferences and ensuring that recipients can genuinely enjoy and make the most of their gifts.
