The UK's Deposit Return Scheme introduces more than a 20p deposit at the point of sale.
Retailers will also need to account for return handling fees and the way return volumes affect those fees.

→ Deposit collection
→ Return processing
→ Refunds
→ Return handling fee calculations
→ Transaction and operational reporting
