Why merchants keep it

Everything your returns are trying to tell you

Stop guessing. Every return is a data point — ReasonWhy turns them into ranked, actionable opportunities.

Real money, not guesses

See the exact revenue lost to returns for every product — pulled from your order data, never estimated.

AI-grouped root causes

Free-text return notes are clustered into themes — runs small, not as pictured, arrived damaged — and ranked by what each one costs you.

Ranked by what to fix first

Every product is ordered by the revenue at stake, so your single biggest opportunity is always at the top.

Proof your fixes worked

Mark an opportunity actioned and ReasonWhy tracks the before and after, closing the loop from insight to impact.

Evidence behind every theme

Expand any cluster to read the verbatim customer reasons and a confidence score — never a black box.

Private by design

Read-only access, and every note is PII-scrubbed before it reaches a model. Names, emails and phones never leave.

The product

Built to show you the money

Money on screen

The cost of every return, in pounds

ReasonWhy reads your real refund and discount data, so the figure you see is actual revenue — never a guess. It updates as new returns land.

  • Revenue lost per product and store-wide
  • Discount-adjusted from real order totals
  • Week-over-week trend, at a glance

How it works

    One-click install with read-only access to your orders and returns. Nothing is ever written back to your store.

    We analyse your last 90 days

    A backfill runs automatically — returns are ingested, embedded, and clustered into named themes by AI.

  3. 3

    See your ranked opportunities

    Every product is ranked by the revenue at stake, so your single biggest opportunity surfaces first.

  4. 4

    Fix problems and track the impact
