The Problem

Returns are chaos without systems. Customers don't get RMA numbers, refunds are delayed, and you can't identify problem products.

The Solution

SheetAPI streamlines returns. Customers request returns via form, RMA numbers generate automatically, and refund status updates in real-time.

1

Set Up Your Google Sheet

Create a spreadsheet with columns like: RMA #, Order #, Customer, Product, Reason, Status, Refund Amount, Date Received

2

Connect to SheetAPI.pro

Sign up (takes 10 seconds), authorize Google, and paste your sheet URL. Done.

3

Start Using Your API

Get instant REST API endpoints to create, read, update, and delete your e-commerce returns management data.

Code Examples

Here's how simple it is to work with your e-commerce returns management data:

Fetch All Records

# Using cURL curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID
// Using JavaScript (fetch) const response = await fetch('https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID', { headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' } }); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); // Your e-commerce returns management records

Create a New Record

# Using cURL curl -X POST \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"RMA #":"VALUE1","Order #":"VALUE2"}' \ https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID
// Using JavaScript (fetch) const newRecord = { 'RMA #': 'Sample value', 'Order #': 'Another value' }; const response = await fetch('https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify(newRecord) });

Update a Record

// Update by row ID const response = await fetch('https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID/ROW_ID', { method: 'PATCH', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ 'Status': 'Updated' }) });
