How to choose a Narvar alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Ask what parts of your agreement determine the quote, and compare the scope with the work you actually need. Narvar combines returns policies, exchanges, workflows and reporting with wider shopper services. A like-for-like comparison should separate the internal returns desk from services your team plans to keep.
- 2
Who owns your records
Before switching, confirm what return records you can access and bring across, and what your business will own afterwards. With an owned version, your records sit in a database your business owns. Confirm which saved records are available before assuming your full history can move.
- 3
Fit with your rules
Check whether the option can follow your own receiving, inspection, remedy and exception-review process. List the fields and decisions your team needs to record, including how it handles missing assessments, unsafe items and unresolved work. A tailored version can be built around how your business runs.

What switching involves
Find out which records are available, how they will be checked and which services need to stay in place during the change. Saved Narvar merchant records can be imported, but historical availability needs confirming. Agree the records and operational connections you need before replacing a service.
The option that fits
A returns desk shaped around your business
Enterprise DNA builds a returns desk around how your team receives, inspects and resolves returns.

Questions
Narvar alternatives, answered
How does Narvar pricing compare with an owned returns desk? expand_more
Narvar directs buyers to its sales team for a quote and does not publish a numeric price on its returns product page. The free version has no software licence fee, though hosting and assistant subscriptions are separate. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. Compare the same scope before deciding.
Can you move your Narvar return history across? expand_more
Saved standard return records from a merchant integration archive can be imported, but the free version does not retrieve historical records from Narvar. Confirm what your integration owner has kept, then test a sample and reconcile the counts. Enterprise DNA can map agreed exports and check the history before a switch.
Will an alternative cover the whole customer returns experience? expand_more
The free version handles the internal desk, including receiving, inspection, assessment and resolution records. It is not the whole customer experience. Enterprise DNA can scope a version with a customer portal, scanning, carrier connections and other services your operation needs. Keep existing services until the replacement requirements are tested.
Will the system decide consumer rights or issue refunds? expand_more
No. A person records the assessment and customer choice, while checks highlight missing evidence and keep unsafe stock quarantined. Your team confirms the applicable consumer rights and records any refund, exchange or repair completed in the appropriate external system. A decision is not shown as a completed refund.
