Capture the new Shopify return
appse ai starts the workflow the instant a return is created in Shopify, so return processing begins without anyone monitoring the store for new requests.

Shopify Returns Checked for Duplicates and Created as Dynamics 365 F&O Return Orders
appse ai catches every new Shopify return, confirms it has not already been processed, and creates the matching return order header and lines in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations

About this template
What This Workflow Does
A new Shopify return normally means manually checking Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations for duplicates, then rebuilding the header and every line from the original order. This template reads the new Shopify return, confirms it is not a duplicate, pulls the original order details, and creates the return order header and lines in Dynamics 365 F&O directly.
Key benefits
- Returns caught the moment they happen — A new Shopify return starts the workflow instantly, with no queue to check.
- Duplicates blocked automatically — Dynamics 365 F&O is searched for an existing return order before a new one is created.
- Every line built individually — A return covering several products is split so each item is processed and matched on its own.
- Return orders created without re-entry — The header and lines are written directly into Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.
Inside the flow
How the template works
appse ai starts on a new Shopify return, checks Dynamics 365 F&O for a matching return order, and stops if one exists. For a new return, it splits the return into line items, retrieves the original order details, creates the return order header, and writes the return order lines.
Check for an existing return order
appse ai searches Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations for a return order already linked to this Shopify return, so the same return is never entered twice.
Stop duplicate processing
appse ai evaluates the search result before continuing. If a matching return order already exists, that creation path stops here rather than writing a second record.
Split the return into line items
appse ai separates the Shopify return into its individual products, in parallel with the duplicate check, so each item can be matched and created on its own.
Retrieve the original order details
appse ai pulls the related order information for a genuinely new return, giving the workflow what it needs to build the return order correctly in Dynamics 365 F&O.
Create the return order header
appse ai creates the return order header in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations using the Shopify return information and the original order details together.
Combine the return information
appse ai merges the new return order header with the individual Shopify return items, so the correct products line up with the correct return order.
Prepare the line-level data
appse ai reshapes the combined return data into the structure Dynamics 365 F&O expects for return order line creation.
Create the return order lines
appse ai writes the individual return order lines in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, completing the transfer of the returned products from Shopify into the ERP return record.
Business Benefits
Turn every new Shopify return into a checked, complete return order in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations without a person re-keying it.
01
Remove manual return entry
A return created in Shopify becomes a Dynamics 365 F&O return order, header and lines, without anyone opening the ERP to build it by hand.
02
Stop duplicate return orders
The built-in search checks for an existing return order before creating a new one, closing the gap where the same return gets keyed in twice.
03
Keep line-level accuracy
Each returned product is split out and processed on its own, so the return order lines match what the customer actually sent back.
04
Preserve the link to the original sale
The workflow retrieves the original order details before building the return, keeping the return order connected to the transaction it reverses.
05
Handle multi-item returns consistently
A return covering several products is split and processed line by line, so a large return is handled as reliably as a single-item one.
06
Shorten the return processing cycle
Return orders are created in the same run that captures the Shopify return, cutting the gap between the customer's request and the ERP record.

How does Shopify return order sync to Dynamics 365 F&O work?
appse ai starts as soon as a new return is created in Shopify, checks Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations for an existing return order, and stops if one is found. For a new return, it retrieves the original order details, creates the return order header, then splits and writes the individual return order lines.
Does it prevent the same return being entered twice?
What happens when a return covers more than one product?
Does the return order stay connected to the original order?
What needs to be in place before it runs?
