How to automate Returnly user provisioning, and what it actually costs

Summary and recommendation

Returnly, the returns management platform acquired by Affirm, does not publicly document any SCIM provisioning capabilities or enterprise SSO features. Since the acquisition, enterprise authentication and user management features appear to be handled through Affirm's broader platform rather than Returnly's standalone offering. This creates significant uncertainty for IT teams managing user access to returns management workflows, as there's no clear path for automated provisioning or standardized SSO integration with identity providers like Okta, Entra ID, or Google Workspace.

The lack of documented provisioning capabilities means IT teams must rely on manual user management processes for a platform that often requires access coordination between customer service, operations, and e-commerce teams. Without automated provisioning, onboarding new team members or adjusting access permissions requires manual intervention, creating operational bottlenecks and potential security gaps when users aren't promptly deprovisioned upon role changes or departures.

The strategic alternative

Returnly has no native SCIM. Automate offboarding, user access reviews, and license workflows across every app, including the ones without APIs. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

The cost of not automating

Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Returnly accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

The Returnly pricing problem

Returnly gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

EnterpriseCustom (part of Affirm)❌ Not available

Key constraint: Returnly's enterprise features, if they exist, are only accessible through Affirm's broader platform sales process. There's no standalone enterprise offering documented.

What this means in practice

Without documented SSO or SCIM support, IT teams face significant operational challenges:

Manual account management
All user provisioning, deprovisioning, and role changes require manual coordination with customer support
No automated onboarding
New customer service and operations staff need individual account setup through Returnly/Affirm support
Security gaps
No centralized identity governance means accounts may persist after employee departures
Compliance limitations
Manual processes make it difficult to maintain audit trails for user access

Additional constraints

Acquisition complexity
Since Affirm acquired Returnly, enterprise features may require broader Affirm platform adoption
Limited documentation
No public SSO/SCIM documentation makes evaluation and planning difficult
Vendor dependency
Any identity integration requires direct engagement with Affirm sales and support teams
Unclear roadmap
No visibility into whether standalone Returnly will ever support modern identity protocols

Summary of challenges

  • Returnly does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
  • Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
  • Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually

What Returnly actually offers for identity

No Enterprise SSO/SCIM Documentation

Returnly (now part of Affirm) doesn't publicly document any enterprise identity features:

FeatureSupported?
SAML SSOUnknown
SCIM provisioningUnknown
OIDC SSOUnknown
JIT provisioningUnknown
Okta integration❌ No
Entra integration❌ No

The situation: Returnly was acquired by Affirm and operates as a returns management platform. There's no public documentation for enterprise identity features, and no integrations appear in major IdP marketplaces.

What This Means for IT Teams

No self-service setup
Can't configure SSO or provisioning without vendor contact
Unknown pricing model
Enterprise features bundled into Affirm's custom pricing
Limited visibility
No way to evaluate capabilities before sales engagement
Acquisition uncertainty
Identity roadmap unclear as part of Affirm ecosystem

For a returns management platform that typically needs customer service and operations team access, the lack of documented provisioning creates manual overhead for user lifecycle management.

What IT admins are saying

Returnly's complete lack of enterprise identity documentation leaves IT teams in the dark:

Since Returnly was acquired by Affirm, finding basic enterprise identity information has become nearly impossible. The platform's documentation focuses entirely on returns management functionality with no mention of SSO, SCIM, or user provisioning.

  • No public SSO or SCIM documentation available
  • Must contact Affirm directly for any enterprise features since acquisition
  • Unclear what identity capabilities exist, if any
  • Zero transparency on provisioning options or requirements

The recurring theme

IT teams are flying blind with Returnly. Without public documentation on enterprise identity features, admins can't evaluate, plan, or implement proper user management - they're entirely dependent on vendor sales conversations to understand what's even possible.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
Small returns team (<10 users)Manual management is workable given limited functionality
Testing Returnly integrationManual management during evaluation phase
Enterprise with compliance requirementsUse Stitchflow: essential for audit trail and governance
Growing e-commerce operations (25+ users)Use Stitchflow: automation needed for scale
Multi-brand or marketplace deploymentUse Stitchflow: automation strongly recommended

The bottom line

Returnly (now part of Affirm) provides no documented SCIM support or enterprise SSO capabilities, leaving IT teams with manual user management regardless of scale. For organizations that need automated provisioning for their returns management platform, Stitchflow eliminates the manual overhead entirely.

Loop Returns

No SCIM

E-commerce / Returns Management

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Loop Returns, the e-commerce returns management platform for Shopify merchants, does not offer SCIM provisioning or enterprise SSO capabilities. The platform only supports basic Google SSO ("Continue with Google") for authentication, with no documented SAML integration for enterprise identity providers like Okta, Entra ID, or OneLogin. This Google-only approach creates significant gaps for IT teams managing access across enterprise identity systems, as users must still be manually invited and managed within Loop Returns regardless of their corporate directory status. The lack of enterprise identity integration means IT teams cannot enforce consistent access policies, track user lifecycle changes, or maintain compliance visibility for this critical e-commerce tool. While Loop Returns offers multi-shop login capabilities for managing multiple Shopify stores, the absence of SCIM provisioning means onboarding and offboarding e-commerce team members requires manual coordination between IT and operations teams.

B2B Revenue Intelligence / ABM

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

6sense, the B2B revenue intelligence platform, has paused SCIM provisioning for new customers until Q4 2026. While existing customers with SCIM enabled can continue using it, new implementations are limited to JIT (Just-In-Time) provisioning through SAML SSO. This creates a significant gap for IT teams managing revenue intelligence access, as JIT only creates users on first login and provides minimal attribute mapping (email, first name, last name only). For an enterprise platform with typical pricing of $55,000-$130,000 annually, the absence of automated user lifecycle management is a substantial limitation. The lack of SCIM until Q4 2026 forces IT teams into manual provisioning workflows for a platform handling sensitive revenue data. While SAML SSO handles authentication, it doesn't address user lifecycle events like role changes, department transfers, or offboarding. This creates compliance risks in revenue teams where access to prospect data and sales intelligence must be tightly controlled. The nearly two-year wait for SCIM restoration means organizations implementing 6sense today face manual user management for the foreseeable future.

ActiveCampaign

No SCIM

Marketing Automation / Email

ProvisioningNot Supported
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

ActiveCampaign, the marketing automation platform, does not offer native SCIM provisioning on any plan. While the Enterprise plan ($145+/month) includes SAML 2.0 SSO with just-in-time (JIT) provisioning, this only creates user accounts on first login—there's no automated deprovisioning when employees leave or change roles. New SSO users are automatically added to a generic "SSO Users" group with configurable permissions, but IT teams have no way to programmatically manage user lifecycles or enforce granular access controls based on department or role changes. This creates a significant gap for marketing teams that need to manage access to customer data and campaign tools. When employees leave the company or change departments, their ActiveCampaign access must be manually revoked, creating compliance risks and potential data exposure. The lack of automated deprovisioning means former employees could theoretically retain access to sensitive marketing data and customer information until someone manually removes them from the platform.
