# Creating a return
The **Create return** button only appears when the order status is fulfilled. To create a return:
1. Click **Orders** in the left navigation. The Orders page appears.
2. [Filter your orders](/digital-river-api/administration/dashboard/order-management/orders/filtering-your-orders.md) if needed.
3. Click the order ID link under the **ID** column. The Order details page appears.
4. Scroll down to **Returns**.
5. Click **Create return**.
6. Enter the reason for the return (required), select the items to return, and the quantity to return.
7. Select the **Return shipping information** checkbox to include the address to which the shopper will ship the returned items. The shipping address is optional. However, if you select the **Return shipping information** checkbox, all the fields are required except for Address line 2.
Clearing the **Return shipping information** checkbox or clicking the **Clear form** will not submit any return shipping information.
8. Click **Review and submit** to process the return.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.digitalriver.com/digital-river-api/administration/dashboard/order-management/orders/creating-a-return.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
