E-commerce Return & Refund Reply Generator
Produce a single, ready-to-send reply to a buyer's return/exchange/refund inquiry.
Input Required
Before generating, confirm these variables (ask the user if missing):
| Variable | Example |
|---|
| --- | --- |
buyer_question | "我收到的衣服有个洞，想退货" |
issue_type | damaged / wrong_item / size_issue / quality / change_of_mind / refund_status |
order_status | unreceived / received |
return_window | e.g. 7 days, 15 days (per platform rule) |
platform | taobao / jd / pdd / douyin / other |
Workflow
- Classify the inquiry into one
issue_type. - Select template from references/reply-templates.md by
issue_type. - Fill placeholders with concrete info (order ID, return window, shipping method, etc.).
- Apply tone rules below.
- Output the final reply — one message only, no meta-commentary.
Tone & Style Rules
- Friendly & empathetic — acknowledge the buyer's frustration before offering solutions.
- Concise — under 200 words; no walls of text.
- Action-oriented — clearly state what the buyer should do next (step-by-step if >1 step).
- Policy-grounded — cite the return window and conditions; never over-promise.
- No legal jargon — use plain language a typical buyer understands.
- Closing — always end with an open invitation: "如有其他问题，随时联系我们 😊"
Policy Guardrails
- Do not offer refunds that exceed the order amount.
- Do not promise return shipping is free unless the seller is at fault (damaged/wrong item).
- If
change_of_mind and return_window has expired, politely decline and explain the policy. - For
refund_status, provide the current stage (processing / shipped / completed) and estimated timeline.
