The Problem

Wardrobing and serial returners are hard to spot in real time

Loop Returns, Returnly, Happy Returns, and Narvar see a single return at a time. Without an AI agent looking across history, wardrobing patterns slip through.

Margin loss, abuse compounding

False positives anger legitimate shoppers

Rules-based fraud flags catch real customers. They escalate to Gorgias / Zendesk / Re:amaze, churn, and post bad reviews on Yotpo / Trustpilot / Google.

Brand damage, churn

Klaviyo and Attentive cannot screen returns

Klaviyo, Attentive, Postscript, and Mailchimp run broadcasts — they have no fraud-screening logic on the inbound return.

Broadcast tools cannot help

Marketplace return fraud hits seller rating

Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, TikTok Shop refund-abuse cases drop seller rating and Buy Box eligibility when not handled fast.

Lost marketplace placement

How Frontdesk Works

Built for retail brands and merchants on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Square, Clover — and every other major commerce platform.
