What are scan-based return labels?

When you connect certain Shippo carriers to Return Magic, you are able to generate scan-based return labels, as opposed to the regular return shipping labels available when connecting to EasyPost or ShipStation.

This feature is available with Shippo integrated with USPS, UPS, FedEx or Australia Post, if you use the same carrier for outbound (orders) and inbound (returns). It means you will be charged for your return labels only when they are scanned - this is very advantageous from a cash flow perspective.

With regular return shipping labels, you are charged when the label is created, and Return Magic automatically requests refunds for any unused label.
