Solution Provided
In response to this challenge, we engineered a tailored solution leveraging cutting-edge technology. We developed a new microservice using Java Spring Boot, specifically designed to seamlessly integrate with a third-party Returns Portal service. This microservice automates the entire return process by triggering return requests in the Returns Portal, updating order return statuses in our records, and proactively notifying users about the progress of their returns. Furthermore, upon successful return, the microservice automatically initiates refunds for the returned items, ensuring a hassle-free experience for both users and administrators.
