# Product Return Reminders

Send out periodic reminders for customers that haven't returned their device yet.

> **Note:** Returns are available only for Plan-based projects.

When one of your customers cancels their subscription to your Product as a Service or Try & Buy subscription, they need to return their device to successfully cancel the subscription with you.

When the "two step cancellation" option is enabled for your project, your customer will continue to be invoiced and charged until the product return is confirmed by you. Customers that have cancelled but haven't returned their device yet will be visible in the "Pending Cancellation" filter on the Customers overview of your project.

## Enabling Periodic Product Return Reminders

> **Important!** Before you enable this feature, make sure you configure the email reminder that gets sent out to your customer first! Otherwise you'll risk sending empty emails to existing customers. See the section below on configuring the email content.

To make sure people don't forget to return their device, you can turn on periodic email reminders on the **Settings > Email Configuration** page under the **Device return reminder email** heading.

## Reminder Schedule

The reminder schedule works as follows:

* The **initial reminder** is sent to the customer two weeks after the cancellation is initiated.
* After the initial reminder, we will continue to remind your customer **every week** until you have confirmed their device return.

## Configuring the Periodic Reminder Email Content

You can edit the content of the email that gets sent out as the periodic reminder for returning a customer's device.

### Steps

1. Go to **Settings > Email Configuration**.
2. Find the **Email Content** heading.
3. Select **Device return reminder** email from the dropdown to edit the subject and content of the email.
