Balance will process payments, manage refunds, and provide a view of all transactions, buyers and credit limits for the merchants' Shopify dashboards. Shoppers begin in a customizable return portal powered by PayPal, enter their order details, choose which items they'd like to return or exchange, and then are given options on how to proceed, which include visiting the merchants website to shop for an exchange, refunding for store credit, or refunding via their original payment method.

PayPal charges merchants per item returned to their return bars with a $250 monthly minimum, so the service is most cost effective for stores that are already hitting that $250 fee based on the volume of their returns. The company says that many merchants don't know how much money they are losing from third-party sources like Honey and RetailMeNot scraping their coupon codes and giving them out to shoppers who weren't intended to receive them.
