Connect ShipBob to Lumtry with the Warehouse Sync add-on and the warehouse scan becomes the proof of return. When every item on a return is received, Lumtry releases the refund or sends it to inspection, grades each item from the warehouse outcome, and leaves quarantined items for a person to decide.

## What it does

- Marks a return received once every item has arrived at the warehouse, then releases the refund or moves it to inspection.
- Grades each item from the warehouse outcome: restocked counts as new, disposed or missing counts as unusable.
- Gives your policy stock on hand and the latest warehouse disposition, when a rule asks for them.

## Set it up

1. **Add Warehouse Sync**: Warehouse Sync is an add-on on Starter and Growth and included on Scale. It is not available on Free.
2. **Create a ShipBob token**: In ShipBob, open Integrations, then API Tokens, and create a personal access token.
3. **Connect ShipBob**: An Owner or Admin pastes the token in the Warehouse section of the Integrations page. Lumtry registers its return notifications and ShipBob issues the signing secret.
4. **Choose grade confirmation**: Turn on Require confirmation for warehouse grades if a teammate should confirm each grade before it counts. It is off by default.

## What Lumtry reads

- Signed return events: arrived, completed, and each item's received quantity and restock, dispose or quarantine action.
- Stock on hand by SKU, only when your published policy uses a warehouse field.
- The store order reference on each return, to match it to a case waiting for its return.

## What Lumtry writes

- Its return notification subscription, created when you connect and removed when you disconnect.
- Nothing else. Lumtry never creates returns, orders or inventory changes in ShipBob.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does Warehouse Sync cost?

$79 a month on Starter or Growth, included on Scale, and not available on Free. If the add-on lapses, the connection pauses: events are still verified and recorded but no longer change cases.

### Does a warehouse grade overwrite a teammate's grade?

No. A grade a person already set is never overwritten, and quarantined or unknown outcomes always wait for a person.

### What about a return that arrives in parts?

Nothing is final until every item is received. A partial delivery never releases a refund on its own.

### How does Lumtry verify ShipBob events?

ShipBob signs every event with the secret it issued when you connected. Lumtry checks the signature and a five minute timestamp window before it records anything, and drops redeliveries.
