Who’s the final winner?

The Answer is ClickPost!

ClickPost is a returns optimization platform purpose-built for fast-scaling brands. It digitizes and automates complex return workflows to create seamless, logic-driven experiences for customers—without depending on in-store returns. While Happy Returns focuses on physical drop-off convenience, ClickPost specializes in return journeys that scale across digital storefronts, regions, and fulfillment systems.

With a strong suite of APIs and integrations spanning 30+ storefronts, 8+ WMS/OMS/ERP platforms, and 550+ carriers, ClickPost supports multi-location pickups, cross-warehouse routing, and store-to-store inventory transfers. It enables granular policy control and adapts to complex returns and refund logic like SKU-specific exceptions, configurable return charges by order or return reason, for policy-driven resolution at scale.

Happy Returns excels at box-free, in-person returns with quick exchange fulfillment through its Return Bar and cross-retail network—supported by image verification to reduce fraud. ClickPost, however, is designed for brands scaling digitally. It increases exchange adoption through smart nudges, bonus credit, and admin tools that convert returns into exchanges while blocking inventory to avoid stockouts. ClickPost’s configurability and platform-agnostic design make it purpose-built for scaling returns across geographies and product categories.

What sets ClickPost apart is its revenue impact: 54% of returns are converted into exchanges, and nearly 40% of those into higher-value orders. With gift card and store credit automation, brands reduce refund exposure while increasing retention. Happy Returns, in contrast, drives value through footfall and convenience—boosting in-store engagement and green returns. For teams seeking operational efficiency and revenue-centric returns, ClickPost is the all-in-one platform that delivers smart logistics, deep configurability, and constant innovation.
