Show a clear return and refund policy on your website. Make sure that you include your return process, refund process, and customer requirements (return window, product condition, reason for return). If you don't accept returns or refunds, clearly state that on your website.
This policy applies to Shopping ads and local inventory ads with pick up today/later
We've detected that your website doesn't have a clear return and refund policy. For this reason, your account has been warned or disapproved, your ads have stopped showing, and/or your free listings have limited visibility.
Add your return policy information to your Shopping ads and free listings to improve the customer experience. You can share your return policy with Merchant Center manually, or use the Content API to share it automatically.
