How to generate a returns portal token

The returns portal token is a long-lived key your storefront uses to authenticate against the OrderKrab returns portal, letting customers submit return requests themselves. You generate it in OrderKrab and paste it into your store; generating a new one invalidates the previous one.

  1. 1

    In the sidebar, click Returns Portal and open the Settings tab.

  2. 2

    In the Returns portal tokens card, find your shop's row. Each row shows the shop domain and a badge for its platform, so an organization with several stores generates one token per store.

  3. 3

    Click Generate token. The token is created and copied to your clipboard automatically.

Select your store platform

  1. 4

    In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes → Customize and open the page holding the Return portal app block.

  2. 5

    Paste the value into Portal token under Connection, then click Save.

Good to know

  • The token is stored in the theme's block settings, so it does not follow you to another theme. After publishing a new theme, add the Return portal block to the returns page again and paste the token there too.
  • For security, the token value is never displayed on screen — it only goes to your clipboard. Need it again later? Click Copy on the shop's row.
  • Regenerate issues a new token and stops the old one working immediately, so paste the new value into your store straight away or the portal stops finding orders.
  • The token never expires.
  • A connected Shopify or WooCommerce shop is required.
  • The Returns Portal page is a PRO feature, so tokens can only be generated on PRO. Return shipping per country is configured separately under Shipping → Returns and is available on every plan.
