# Retention Offer

## Overview

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Retention Offer feature is currently available for Shopify only.
{% endhint %}

You can display an option to give customers an alternative returns option to retain an item for a partial refund in your <code class="expression">space.vars.Product\_ReturnsPortal</code> on the courier selection page. When customers choose to keep an item, a partial refund can be offered to the original payment method and as a gift card, reducing the need for return shipping and restocking, providing an easy and seamless way for customers to opt into the retention offer.
