When there's a return transaction from your customer, you might face a situation where the customers want to exchange the returned product for another one but your products that are used as a substitute for the returned products are out of stock. To avoid this situation, you can set the returned transactions amount to be stored as a store credit. So your customer can make a deposit amount based on the returned product's amount as store credit and can make an exchange to other products using the stored credit amount. You can follow the steps below to make a return transaction stored as store credit.
