The plugin is designed around admin workflows. It adds return reason tools to the Orders list, order edit screens, and a consolidated Return Reasons admin area with tracker, reason-management, and reporting tabs. Features include: * Return Reasons column on the Orders list. * Reason badges and inline admin actions. * Order edit screen event panel. * Customizable reason library. * Return tracker overview. * Basic reports. * CSV export. * Soft-delete behavior for reason events. * Compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). This plugin is not a full customer-facing returns portal or RMA approval system. #### Data retention EVO Return Reason Tracker for WooCommerce preserves plugin data by default when the plugin is removed. Return reason events, reason library settings, plugin version options, and WooCommerce order notes are treated as operational records and are not automatically deleted by the uninstall handler. ## Screenshots [⌊Return Reasons column and Add Reason controls in the WooCommerce Orders list.⌉⌊ Return Reasons column and Add Reason controls in the WooCommerce Orders list.⌉[ Return Reasons column and Add Reason controls in the WooCommerce Orders list.
