WooCommerce Shipping Returns Plugin

Easily Create Return Labels within the WooCommerce Shipping Plugin using this simple origin & address swap script.

Tired of manually copying and pasting sender and receiver addresses when creating return labels in WooCommerce? I was too! It used to take me 5+ minutes just to swap addresses manually via copy/paste. That's why I decided to dive into the WooCommerce™ Shipping Plugin and create this address swap solution to save time and effort.

🚀 Features

• One-Click Address Swap:
  Easily swap the sender and recipient addresses in WooCommerce orders with a single click.
• Undo Swap Functionality:
  Restore the original shipping address anytime with the "Undo Swap" button.
• No Time Limit on Undo:
  You can undo the swap anytime after it is performed.
• AJAX-Powered:
  Instant address switching without page reloads.
• Automatic Cleanup:
  Removes all non-default origin addresses from WooCommerce settings during the undo process.
• Simple Integration:
  Copy and paste the script into your child theme or use a code snippets plugin.

🛠️ Installation

You can add this functionality by copying the PHP script into either:

1. Child Theme’s functions.php file

   • Navigate to Appearance > Theme File Editor > functions.php
   • Paste the script at the end of the file.

2. Using a Code Snippets Plugin (Recommended)
   I recommend using WPCodeBox, but you can use any snippets plugin of your choice.

⚙️ WPCodeBox Settings

If you're using WPCodeBox, here’s how to configure the snippet:

• "How to run the snippet": Always, on page load
• Hook/Priority: plugins_loaded / 10
• Snippet Order: 10
• Where to run the snippet: Admin Area

🖱️ How to Use

1. Open any physical order in WooCommerce.
2. In the Billing and Shipping details panel, you'll see a button:
   “Swap Origin & Customer Addresses”
3. Click the button – the page will refresh as the magic happens via AJAX.
4. Your sender address is now swapped with the recipient address.
5. When creating a return label, simply select the new sender address (previous recipient) and verify it.

Undo the Swap

If you need to revert the changes, simply click the “Undo Swap” button that appears after swapping. This will:

• Restore the original shipping and sender addresses.
• Automatically delete all non-default origin addresses from WooCommerce settings.

🔄 Automatic Cleanup of Origin Addresses

During the Undo Swap process, all origin addresses in the WooCommerce Shipping settings will be cleaned up, leaving only the default origin address intact. This helps maintain a tidy address list without requiring manual intervention.

💡 Notes

• Due to how the WooCommerce Shipping Plugin works, you’ll need to manually verify the sender address after swapping.
  Simply click the sender address, select the new address, update a value, and click Verify & Save before purchasing your label.
• There is no time limit for undoing the swap, so you can revert it at any time.
• This solution significantly reduces the number of manual steps needed compared to the default process.
