What is the difference between Claimlane and Narvar?

Narvar is an enterprise post-purchase platform for large retailers, focused on customer experience, covering order tracking, delivery notifications, delivery date estimates and returns, with a free returns app on Shopify. Claimlane is an aftersales platform that handles returns and Shopify refunds, plus warranty claims, repairs, spare parts and supplier claims, on Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce and ERPs like Business Central.

In Claimlane, claim forms, rules, resolutions and routing are configured per product, channel and market. Narvar fits large retailers whose priority is delivery tracking and customer communication; Claimlane fits brands whose products break, get repaired or go back to a supplier. Many retailers use both: Narvar for tracking, Claimlane for claims.

What you get with Claimlane

Take over when the product fails, not when the parcel lands

Narvar’s job ends once the order is delivered and returns are processed. Claimlane handles the cases that start weeks or months later: a broken hinge, a missing part. Customers file the claim with photos, video and proof of purchase, and the case reaches the right person with everything needed to decide.

Change your rules without a support ticket

Return windows, required photos, accepted reasons and resolutions are set per product category, sales channel and country, and your team edits them directly in Claimlane. When a product line changes or you open a new market, the flow is updated the same day.

Resolve with a part or a repair, not just a refund

For each claim, your team picks the fix that costs least and solves the problem: ship a spare part, book a repair, replace the product or refund. Fewer products are written off, and the customer keeps a product that works.

Recover defect costs from your suppliers

When a defect is the supplier’s fault, Claimlane sends them the full case, with photos, purchase data and history, and tracks it until it is settled. The cost of the defect doesn’t stay on your books.

Bring retailers and B2B customers into the same flow

Retail partners, wholesale customers and installers get their own claim portal. Their cases land in the same workflow as consumer claims, instead of in a shared inbox.

Go live without an enterprise project

Claimlane has public pricing from $800€700/mo and connects to Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce and Business Central out of the box. You can start with warranty claims next to your existing Narvar setup and add more flows as you go.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose Narvar or Claimlane?

Choose Narvar if:

  • you need order tracking, delivery notifications and delivery date estimates
  • you want a large in-person drop-off network for returns in the US
Choose Claimlane if:
  • many of your cases are defects, not delivery questions or change-of-mind returns
  • you resolve claims with spare parts or repairs, not only replacements
  • your suppliers should pay for defective products
  • retailers or B2B customers file claims on behalf of end customers
  • you want to change rules and forms per product, channel or market yourself

Claimlane starts at $800€700/mo, with pricing published on the website. Narvar’s returns and exchanges app is free on the Shopify App Store, while the wider Narvar platform is priced on request.
