GET all Returns

Retrieve details for all returns. This endpoint will return 100 returns at most (see the Pagination section to learn how to access all pages).

$ curl https://api.uphance.com/returns \
    -H "Authorization: ACCESS_TOKEN"

POST a Return

You can create a Return in Uphance from an external system using a POST request to /returns.

The caller should provide the following headers along with the request:

Content-Type : application/json
Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN

The body of your request should be a JSON document formatted as below.

Example request:

{
    "saleId": 103390,
"purchaseOrderRef": "4089",
"rmaNumber": "1224"
    "totalAmount": 10,
    "returnLineItems": [
        {
            "skuNumber": "SR_P001-6-M",
"productId": 95996,
            "variationId": 211247,
            "skuId": 1115350,
            "quantity": 1
        }
    ]
}
