Chose Happy Returns
We migrated from Narvar to Happy Returns for a number of reasons. Happy Returns had a better Shopify integration and the process for customers to return via the website was much easier for customers. The Happy Returns admin UI is simple, modern, and easy to navigate. Happy …
I haven't seen anything like Narvar exactly. The most similar is the estimated delivery text notification/reference page functionality on Shopify sites.
At the time, Narvar had no other competitors to my knowledge. We looked at building this functionality in house which had a 3 month estimate. Everyone involved happily welcomed the tool.
Happy Returns are best suited for retail stores and ecom where customers need to return or exchange goods. Happy Returns have a number of options and levels of return services they can offer. Having return bar partners like FedEx opens up many local return drop-off locations making it much more convenient for the customer as well as having the option to mail the good back by easily printing a pre-paid return label.
If you are an e-commerce retailer that needs out of the box functionality to enhance your shipment tracking, then I highly recommend Narvar. The monthly spend far out weighs the cost of having an internal team build this out --- not to mention the time it takes to spin the solution up.
Adding other functionality beyond the basic technology can be costly for a small to medium business. Narvar's grown rapidly since we started using them and their baseline costs for add-ons are out of our price range for post-purchase/returns.
Once it's set up, it doesn't require much support. We used to have quarterly or bi-annual touch bases with an account person to review our rating and customer usage but haven't heard from them in a while - either because we're too small or they got rid of this interaction. Can't say we miss it though because we can see our rating and feedback, and there is only so much you can do within the confines of the platform without adding on new functionality.

Happy Returns offers features like return bars, exchanges, and site credit that allowed us to give our customers options in how they return in an easy way without any development cost. Our experience with Narvar was the opposite.
