Footwear shipping audits
Footwear returns spike when fit is uncertain and exchange friction is high. Carrier choice drives perceived delivery speed; single-zone policies on multi-market storefronts drive intl abandonment. These audits measure each footwear brand's return windows, exchange handling, international lane disclosure, and whether the post-purchase tracking experience is branded or outsourced to the carrier.

Frequently asked questions
- What does a footwear shipping audit cover?
- Our footwear shipping audits analyze each merchant's carrier selection, lost-package policy, international coverage, return shipping terms, catalog weight completeness, currency presentment, and retention-app exposure. We flag specific issues by severity and estimate dollar impact where the data supports it.
- How are the issues detected?
- Each audit runs 16 rule-based detectors against crawled storefront data, observed Shopify/app signals, and Apollo company enrichment. Every detected issue cites the source signal — no AI hallucination in detection, only in rewriting the fix recommendation.
- Is this data live?
- Audits are refreshed when we re-crawl the store. Carrier mentions, policy text, and app fingerprints update weekly. Apollo company signals refresh monthly. Each page shows the analysis version and compose timestamp.
- Can a brand dispute a finding?
- Yes. Merchants can contact us at support@shipxray.com with corrections or context. Suppressed issues remain in the database with a merchant_correction reason but are removed from the public render.
