Introducing the Returns Management Category on G2
It’s safe to say that almost everyone has returned a product that they bought, either in-store or online. The reason for the return isn’t relevant—maybe a shirt didn’t fit, a toy arrived damaged, or they just decided they didn’t want the merchandise anymore. Whatever the reason, the retailer or manufacturer needs to have the proper return infrastructure in place to process and track these returns, ensuring that inventory is replenished or updated, and the customer receives a replacement product or a refund or credit is issued.

Question on: CSX eCommerce Platform
What is catalog builder?
What is catalog builder?
Catalog management software, or product catalog management software, organizes and consolidates e-commerce product data into a single, digital point of reference (aka a catalog) for both merchant and buyer. The software maintains and stores product information for an e-commerce business. There can be some confusion between Catalog Management and Product Information Management (PIM): the distinction between the two types of software is that Catalog Management software enriches product data by facilitating the editing, adding, and modifying of product information, while PIM software looks at the overall picture, in a more comprehensive capacity. Catalog management ensures the quality of product data, by allowing an admin to update the product data in a catalog, so that customers can make informed buying decisions. The merchant can help online buyers make those decisions by providing details like: product names, product filters, descriptions, prices, and supplier and internal codes.
