## Description

Retora turns returns into a smooth, branded experience for your customers and a 
fast, organized workflow for your team. Shoppers request a return from their account
in a few clicks, and you approve, track, and refund everything from a single screen
in WordPress.

No more scattered emails or spreadsheets. Every request becomes a structured RMA
with its own status, history, and resolution, so nothing slips through the cracks.
