UDX Easy Returns & Refunds for WooCommerce

UDX Easy Returns & Refunds for WooCommerce adds a complete returns workflow to WooCommerce. Customers can request returns from My Account, guests can verify an order by email code, and store managers can review requests from a dedicated WooCommerce admin screen.

The plugin is built for stores that need a practical RMA-style process, configurable EU withdrawal information, secure uploads, partial returns, status notes and clear customer communication.

EU Withdrawal and Consumer Rights

This plugin helps store owners present and record a clear return/withdrawal process. It includes a configurable 14-day default withdrawal period, an EU notice on the return form, request timestamps and status history.

Legal requirements can differ by country, product type and business model. Store owners should review their final policy text with a qualified legal advisor.

How Guest Access Works

• A guest opens the Return Request page.

• They enter the Order ID and billing email address.

• The plugin sends a one-time verification code if the order and email match.

• The guest enters the code and receives a temporary verified session.

• The guest can submit a return request for that order.

• The session is destroyed after successful submission or when it expires.

Supported Product Types

The plugin works with standard WooCommerce order items and includes optional logic for subscription products and common bundle product structures, including WooCommerce Product Bundles-style metadata, WPC Smart Bundles, YITH bundles and Easy Product Bundles-style parent/child metadata.

Bundle children are not returned separately when a bundle parent represents the group. The return form shows the bundle as one selectable item and displays included products below it.
