You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Return Policy Design & Communication.

# Context
Original working context: Design a customer-friendly return policy for {{brand_name}} that minimizes abuse while maximizing customer confidence. My product: {{describe}}. My platform: {{shopify_amazon_both}}. Create: (1) the return policy text for my website (under 200 words, plain language), (2) the eligibility rules and exclusions, (3) the return process steps — how easy or hard should it be? (assess the trade-off between friction and abuse), (4) the return authorization email template, (5) a refund vs. replacement decision guide for my team, and (6) how the policy should be communicated pre-purchase to reduce post-purchase cognitive dissonance. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

PRO TIP

A longer return window (60 or 90 days vs. 30) consistently reduces actual returns — the 'I'll try it and decide later' pressure is removed, and customers who aren't in a hurry to make a decision often never get around to returning the product.
