FAQ

Why is it important to avoid returns?

In Germany alone, around 10 parcels are returned every second. Each return generates around 850g of CO₂ emissions and costs 15.18€ on average for you as the shop operator. The re-shipment after re-storage in your warehouse and the order by another end customer causes even more packaging waste and CO₂ emissions.

We want to change that with you. Keepoala has set itself the task of reducing the number of returns and the associated CO₂ footprint by motivating and rewarding online shoppers and thus reducing your return costs.

How does Keepoala avoid returns?

In addition to size-induced returns, many returns which result from ordering behavior, a lack of information about the environmental impact of returns and the subjective perception of the buyer, affect your profitability. Keepoala avoids returns by nudging the ordering behavior of online shoppers. With the help of our app, online shoppers can track their orders and collect points. The app users receive most of the points that can be redeemed when they keep their order. Information campaigns and progress analyses show users which environmental pollution has been avoided through their own behavior, which leads to behavioral adjustments and thus to further returns being avoided.
In case of a return, app users can be rewarded for answering questions about the reasons for their return and thus help to reduce future returns through product improvements.

How is Keepoala connected to my online shop?

Keepoala uses the connection to your online shop via a shop system plug-in to automatically record the orders that have been placed in your shop and to be assigned to Keepoala app users. We stay completely out of your order, purchase and fulfillment processes and only act as a digital companion who contacts customers post-purchase, if they are registered at Keepoala. Keepoala is available as a plugin for the most common shop systems. The integration of your shop takes less than 60 minutes and can be accompanied by our IT team if required.

How much does Keepoala cost?

Keepoala is free for your customers who use the app.

Participating online shops, retailers and brand manufacturers pay Keepoala transaction-based for their service promise depending on their order volume. It is important to us that despite paying transaction fees to us, you can increase your own profitability due to the cost savings and/or additional sales.

How can I use the Keepoala analysis tool?

The connection to the analysis tool for recording and evaluating the volume of returns, the evaluation of the shop-specific questionnaire on the reasons for returns and the derivation of recommendations for action is made possible by connecting the Keepoala shop system plugin to your shop. You are receiving the analyses as a monthly report depending on the decision variables and data points that are important to you. As an additional service, you can access your personal returns dashboard at any time via web login if you wish.

What additional information will I receive as a partner?

Thanks to the easy app handling, Keepoala enables a detailed query of return reasons based on dedicated products and product categories. For selected reasons of returns, an in-depth, step-by-step query can take place in order to generate more detailed customer feedback. In addition, you get an insight into benchmarking of your own returns rate to the rest of the industry (anonymized).
