Hi,
Person A has registered for a paid event (paid via Stripe). We want to change the attendee to someone else – person B.
Both persons A and B exist in EE contacts as they have other registrations.
I can’t edit the contact details of person A as that would change all their registrations. It would also create a duplicate of person B.
I don’t want to refund person A’s ticket. That would incur additional processing fees and would place the responsibility on the customer to rebook.
How can I change the registrant for a transaction to the other contact (person B)?
Thanks

Hi There,
Unfortunately, there are no such options for now to move a registration from one Attendee to another.
However, as a workaround you can cancel the existing registration and book that again for Attendee B manually from the backend.
For that you need to go to EE > Events > There you can find the option to add registration. https://tinyurl.com/24z5t9qt
Hope that helps.

Thanks for getting back to me.
If we cancel the current registration would that also refund the associated Stripe payment? We want to avoid that.
Alternatively, is the registration to attendee relationship only an ID value in the DB? Would it work to simply change the contract ID for the registration?

EE does not initialize any refunds from within the EE admin, you can think of the payments within EE as a record of a payment but it does NOT link directly to your merchant to authroize/de-auth/refund payments within your merchant account. So a refund would a 2 step process, refund it within your merchant account (in this case Stripe) and then store a record of that within EE as a refund object.
So… no, it would not refund the payment within Stripe 🙂

Yes, it would and I have a snippet for this:
https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/239dcbbab9514c13ba48fe3e8e9a5add
That adds a ‘Update Contact’ metabox when you edit a registration which stores the current ATT_ID (Contact ID), update the value to the correct ID and the registration will be assigned to them.
