Rich Returns Alternative
The AI-first Rich Returns alternative
EcoReturns matches Rich Returns' Shopify UX and adds AI-driven insights, fraud detection, native mobile and multi-channel coverage - at flat pricing.
Rich Returns is a solid Shopify returns app for growing DTC brands, but as volume scales many brands need deeper AI, fraud detection and multi-channel support that Rich Returns doesn't offer. EcoReturns is the AI-native alternative built for brands that need to scale returns as revenue grows.

- AI return-reason clustering with product-fix recommendations
- Built-in fraud and serial-returner detection
- Native multi-channel: Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Amazon, marketplaces
- Native mobile SDK for app-first brands
- Flat pricing that scales with your team, not your return volume
