Cycleon

Ecosystem

Cross-border returns specialist with a global network of return points, consolidation hubs, and carrier partnerships for international e-commerce returns across 200+ countries.

Cycleon is a specialist in international returns logistics, operating a global network of return drop-off points and consolidation hubs that enables e-commerce brands to offer localized return experiences in foreign markets without building their own international returns infrastructure.

Cross-border returns are one of the hardest logistics problems in e-commerce. Shoppers in Germany buying from a US-based brand face customs complexity, high return shipping costs, and slow processing times. Cycleon solves this by maintaining local return addresses in each market, consolidating returns before shipping them transnationally, and handling customs documentation on behalf of the retailer.

For AI agents operating in cross-border UCP commerce, Cycleon is the operational backbone that makes agent-initiated international returns practical. When a UCP checkout initiates a cross-border purchase, Cycleon can be pre-configured as the returns handler for that market. An agent initiating a return references the Cycleon return portal for the buyer's country, and the logistics execute through Cycleon's local network.

Why This Matters for UCP

Cycleon enables agents to initiate cross-border returns for UCP-sourced international purchases, resolving the customs, carrier, and consolidation complexity of international reverse logistics behind a single API call.

const CYCLEON_API = 'https://api.cycleon.com/returns/v1';

// Create a return for a shopper in Germany returning to a US merchant
const internationalReturn = await fetch(`${CYCLEON_API}/create`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Cycleon-Api-Key': process.env.CYCLEON_API_KEY!,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    merchant_id: process.env.CYCLEON_MERCHANT_ID,
    origin_country: 'DE',             // shopper location
    destination_country: 'US',        // merchant warehouse
    ucp_order_reference: ucpOrderId,
    items: [{ sku: 'WATCH-001', quantity: 1, value: 299, currency: 'EUR' }],
    return_reason: 'not_as_described',
    shopper_language: 'de',
  }),
}).then(r => r.json());

// Agent surfaces localized return instructions to German shopper
console.log('Local return address (DE):', internationalReturn.local_return_address);
console.log('Drop-off points near shopper:', internationalReturn.nearby_drop_points);
console.log('Estimated merchant receipt:', internationalReturn.estimated_merchant_receipt_date);
console.log('Customs handled:', internationalReturn.customs_managed);  // true
