It is scored every 10 minutes from four inputs: how often Loop Returns has had an episode over the last 180 days, whether it has had one in the last 24 hours or 7 days, how often its degradations turn into major outages, and whether the infrastructure it runs on is having trouble right now.

What to do when Loop Returns is down
When Loop Returns goes down, do three things first: confirm the outage is on their side, protect whatever the outage is breaking in your store, and tell affected customers before they find out the hard way. This playbook walks through each step for Loop Returns specifically.
How do I confirm Loop Returns is actually down?
Check two independent sources before changing anything in your store. First, StatusBird's live Loop Returns status page, which is based on independent checks every 2 minutes. Second, Loop Returns's own status page at loopreturns.com/. If the official page still shows green, do not assume you are wrong: vendors often acknowledge incidents well after they start. If both look clean, the problem is more likely your store's configuration or a specific integration.
What does a Loop Returns outage look like?
- Returns portal page not loading or returning errors
- Customers unable to look up their order to start a return
- Return shipping labels failing to generate
- Refunds, store credit, and exchange orders not processing automatically
- Rising support tickets asking how to return an item
What breaks in your store
When Loop is down, the returns portal on your domain stops loading, so customers cannot start returns or exchanges and instead email your support team, driving up ticket volume. Return label generation and automated refund or store credit issuance halt, and exchange orders that Loop would create in Shopify are not created. Returns already in transit are unaffected physically, but their status updates and processing stall.
For context, Loop Returns has had no major incidents in the last 90 days of StatusBird's independent monitoring (100.0% availability), so a real outage is unusual. That makes it easy to mistake one for a problem on your end, which is why confirming first matters.
What to do during the outage
- Post a notice on your returns page telling customers the portal is temporarily down and to try again later or email support.
- Handle urgent returns manually: create the return and refund in Shopify admin and buy a return label through your shipping app.
- Reassure customers that return windows will be honored for anyone affected by the outage.
- Log manual returns you process so you can reconcile them against Loop records after recovery.
- Extend your return window by a day or two if the outage was long, and say so publicly.
These steps follow the same logic Google codifies in its Site Reliability Engineering chapter on managing incidents: establish what is actually happening, contain the damage, and communicate clearly while the incident is still running.
Frequently asked questions
Can customers still return items while Loop is down?
Not through the self-service portal, but you can process returns manually. Take the request by email, create the refund or exchange in Shopify admin, and generate a return label through your shipping software. Loop's outage blocks the automation, not the underlying ability to accept a return.
What happens to returns that were mid-process when Loop went down?
Packages already in transit keep moving because the carrier is unaffected. Processing steps that Loop performs, like marking the return received and triggering the refund or exchange, resume once service is restored, so most in-flight returns simply complete late rather than getting lost.
After the outage
Once Loop Returns recovers, verify the affected workflows end to end rather than trusting the status page. Note the start and end times while they are fresh: if you are on a paid Loop Returns plan with an SLA, documented downtime is what a service credit claim is built on. See how to claim SLA credits for the process.
How this data is measured
StatusBird checks Loop Returns's status every 2 minutes, around the clock, independently of the vendor. The availability figure counts major and critical outages only; minor degradation is excluded so numbers are not skewed by vendors that report small blips near-continuously. Grades run from A+ to F. See the live numbers on the Loop Returns reliability page and current status on the Loop Returns status page, or browse all 84 service grades.
This playbook was published separately until September 2026. It now lives here, alongside the live Loop Returns status it applies to.
