E-commerce Return & Refund Reply Generator#
Produce a single, ready-to-send reply to a buyer's return/exchange/refund inquiry.
Before generating, confirm these variables (ask the user if missing):
VariableExamplebuyer_question"我收到的衣服有个洞,想退货"issue_typedamaged / wrong_item / size_issue / quality / change_of_mind / refund_statusorder_statusunreceived / receivedreturn_windowe.g. 7 days, 15 days (per platform rule)platformtaobao / 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.
