About Colors of Earth
Colors of Earth is a Shopify brand from India that sells kurtas, anarkali suits and ethnic dresses for women and kids. It is an independent brand and a QuickReturns customer.
The challenge: returns that hold up
Colors of Earth came to QuickReturns with three problems to solve: keeping returns in sync with Shopify, automations that failed, and clear analytics on refunds.
The team also wanted a panel that is intuitive to use. Colors of Earth has used QuickReturns since 2025.
How QuickReturns made Colors of Earth’s returns reliable
Shopify return sync from the first click
Every return request starts from the Shopify order, so the store and the returns app work from the same record. A shopper finds the order with the order number plus phone or email, in a portal that carries the brand’s own illustration and colours. When a delivery fails, RTO management cancels the order on Shopify and on the OMS, and prepaid orders are refunded automatically. QuickReturns also syncs with Unicommerce and Vinculum. See the full list of QuickReturns integrations. The branded returns portal sits on the store itself.
Automation that runs on the store’s rules
The store decides how each request is handled. A rule can approve a request automatically or send it to the team for a manual check, and approvals, refunds and replacements then follow the same rules. Once a request is approved, a rule can also generate the prepaid return label. Rules still need a person for the cases the store wants to see. Read more about QuickReturns automations, which are included on every paid plan.
Refund analytics that show where money goes
Refunds are easier to manage when the reasons are visible. QuickReturns gives full visibility into return reasons, exchange trends, refund methods and revenue retention in real time, and analytics and return tracking come with every plan. A Revenue Recovery Dashboard shows a daily ROI number, and refunds can be processed through connected payout gateways from the dashboard.
A panel the team finds easy
Merchants set QuickReturns up themselves in about 30 minutes, and the account manager can help along the way. Every plan comes with a dedicated account manager, a 1:1 onboarding call and live chat support. Colors of Earth’s team finds the panel smooth and easy to use.

The panel is also smooth and easy to use, which makes the overall experience even better.
