About this template

This template provides a clear, structured path for customers to submit their requests, allowing your team to review and approve them faster.

FAQ
How can I track the status of these returns?
Since this template connects to Google Sheets, you can add a 'Status' column to your spreadsheet to track whether a return is pending, approved, or completed.
Can I add my company logo to this form?
Yes. Once you import the template into your Google account, you can use the 'Customize Theme' option in Google Forms to upload your company header image and adjust colors to match your brand.
What should I do if a customer needs to upload a photo?
