Fair to customers

Better for your margins, and fair to the people who return.

Brands keep more revenue with Vyatyasa because customers get a better option, not because the refund is hidden.

Refunds stay available

Customers can always choose a refund where your policy and consumer law allow. Exchanges are offered, never forced.

AI flags, people decide

Unusual return patterns are flagged for your team. The AI never blocks a customer on its own.

Licensed payment partners

Refunds go through your gateway and licensed partners. Vyatyasa never holds customer money.

Data kept private

Customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and it is never sold.

Going live

Live on your store within a week.

No migration project. Your team sets up Vyatyasa from the dashboard, with our onboarding team on call.

Connect your store

Install the Shopify or WooCommerce app, or connect a custom store with API keys. Orders and products sync in minutes.

Add couriers and gateway

Connect your courier accounts and payment gateway. Your rates and contracts stay with you.

Write your rules

Return windows, reasons, exchange offers, refund triggers and QC checklists, set in plain words.

Open the portal

Point returns.yourbrand.com to Vyatyasa, link it from your order emails and go live.

FAQ

Questions brands ask

Short answers to what ops heads and founders ask before they switch.

Does it work with Shopify and our warehouse?
Yes. Vyatyasa connects to Shopify and WooCommerce in a few clicks, and to custom stores through the API. Your warehouse or 3PL team uses Quality Check on a tablet or phone, or sends grades from their WMS.
Will customers be forced to exchange?
No. Exchanges and store credit are offered first, and the refund option is always available where your policy and consumer law allow it.
Does the AI block customers?
No. The AI Return Reason Analyst flags unusual patterns for your team to review. Any action on a customer is taken by a person.
Which couriers?
Delhivery, Blue Dart, Xpressbees, Ecom Express, Shadowfax and DTDC on your own accounts, or through an aggregator account such as Shiprocket. You keep your rates.
How long does setup take?
Most brands go live in five to seven working days: store connection on day one, couriers and rules in the first week, and the branded portal once your subdomain points to us.
