# Returns portal

The Linkolis Return Portal is an online portal that allows your end customers to create return requests themselves — without contacting you directly. Once activated and configured, customers can access it at **<https://returns.linkolis.com>** to submit their return, select a reason, and choose a refund method. The return is then immediately visible in your **Returns** page.

### Return portal URL

Once activated, your return portal is accessible at : `www.returns.linkolis.com`

Share this link with your customers so they can initiate a return at any time without having to contact you.

***

### Branded return portal

You can personalise the return portal with your brand name and logo so that customers experience a consistent brand identity throughout the return process. To configure this, go to **Brand** in your account settings.

For more details, [see Brand](/brand/create-a-brand.md).

***

### Return address configuration

When the Return Portal is enabled, you can also configure the addresses used for return shipments.

#### Recipient returns address

This is the destination address printed on return labels generated through the portal. [See What is a return?](/returns/what-is-a-return.md) for the full configuration details.

#### Shipper returns address

This is the address used to return products received at the warehouse that are not stocked by Linkolis. Configure your organisation name and address in this section.

Click **Confirm** to save all your settings.
