Complete User Guide for Odoo Marketplace RMA

INTRODUCTION

Manage product exchange and return in Marketplace with Odoo Marketplace RMA!

One of the difficulties of Odoo Marketplace is that after buying products customers can’t return or exchange them, as per the default setting. Further, they need these to exchange or return products if they receive a wrong or defective product.

Hence, to make the return and exchange process available and convenient for customers, you need a module that permits you to accept Marketplace return and exchange requests and process them seller-wise.

Odoo Marketplace RMA allows customers to create return and exchange requests by a form. Moreover, this module enables sellers to verify the request and process it according to it. However, the refund request from customers needs to be approved by the seller and the final approval for refund will be from the Admin.

NOTE: Odoo Marketplace RMA Module works in conjunction with the following module:
