We just updated the FAQ on our website. If you have any questions about Claimlane, you've come to the right place. Here we have compiled answers to the 16 most frequently asked questions from potential Claimlane customers. If you are curious to learn more about Claimlane this one is for you.
A standard return, or a simple return, is the typical “I changed my mind” of a simple product, such as a piece of clothing. However, customers may return items for a number of reasons. Delivery issues, faulty products, warranty claims, missing parts, repairs, and so on, typically involve more steps and are difficult and complex to handle.
B2C returns are product returns between a consumer and a brand or retailer.
B2B returns are product returns between two businesses, often from a retailer to a brand. Many brands usually sell via multiple retailers, and retailers typically sell hundreds of brands. Normally each brand and retailer will have different return policies and ways of creating and handling returns. This naturally causes B2B returns a lot more challenging to handle.
I) Claimlane is a leader in handling complex returns
Most out-of-the-box returns solutions (e.g. Zigzag, Happy Returns, and Loop Returns) are built for automating simple returns. However, for many businesses these solutions won't fully solve their more complex return issues. Claimlane has a strong solution for automating standard B2C returns, however, we do extremely well for the customers with more complex return challenges. They often sell difficult products to handle like furniture, receive a variety of return types, and from different types of customers, across various sales channels and markets.
II) Claimlane can help you solve your B2B returns
Most return management solutions currently only focus on simple returns from B2C customers. However, many brands and retailers also handle returns to and from other brands and retailers. These returns are almost always more complex and take longer time to handle. That’s why we focused on building a powerful B2B Returns Portal to address this specific pain in the market.
III) Claimlane has a network of over 8,000 brands and retailers
As a Claimlane user, you join a network of over 8,000 brands and retailers that already handle returns and claims through Claimlane with their respective B2B partners. The network helps you and your business partners handle returns in a simple and standardized way, which saves time, resources, and money for everyone.
So, if you sell bulkier products like furniture, operate a wholesale business, or receive a large amount of claims or complex returns of various types then Claimlane is for you.
We are fortunate to have many wonderful brands and retailers who use Claimlane to manage returns and claims. Most of them are very happy. Because of this, we have only had 1 customer churn (because the company went bankrupt).

Getting started with Claimlane is straight forward. Simply reach out to our sales team here. They will help you evaluate how Claimlane can help you specifically. A project typically starts with identifying how you handle returns today, and what it will look like after implementing Claimlane. Most customers on the Basic and Pro plans should expect to be up and running within 2 weeks, and expect to spend less than 2 days of developer time. If your needs are more specific and complex e.g. if you are on the Advanced plan, then you should expect a longer implementation. However, most customers on the Advanced plan are up and running within 2 weeks to 2 months after kickoff. Regardless what plan you are on, we support you throughout the whole process to make sure it’s seamless and straight forward.

No, they do not.
Your partners are not required to use Claimlane after you onboard them. However, as part of the onboarding you will invite your retail and/or brand partners to Claimlane, which makes managing returns and claims easy for everyone. You can decide for each of your partners whether they should receive returns within Claimlane or in a standard email format. It's important to underline and your partners can always decide to opt out of using Claimlane to instead receive standard emails should they for whatever reason not want to use Claimlane. This will however not impact how you submit returns and claims to them.
In other words, you do not need to worry whether your partners are ready to use Claimlane or not.
Finally, over 8,000 brands and retailers are already part of our growing network, which makes handling returns and claims easier for everyone involved.
