This article explains how to customise the emails sent during the return journey, using Swap's built-in email templates.

You can:

  • Enable or disable specific emails
  • Edit the message content
  • Customise button text and links
  • Preview how emails will appear to customers

Accessing email settings

  1. In the Swap Dashboard, go to:Returns → Settings → Emails
  1. Select your email platform:
    • Swap's native tools
    • Klaviyo

Using Klaviyo

If Klaviyo is your preferred email platform, you still need to disable Swap native emails. It is possible to use both at the same time.

Email types

You can customise the following email types:

  • Return created – Sent when a return is submitted
  • Return received – Sent when returned items are delivered to the return address

Select the email type in the editor to begin editing.


Enabling or disabling emails

Each email can be toggled on or off.

  • When enabled, the email is sent automatically
  • When disabled, no email is sent for that event
