Hello, I only could find support for full refunds, so apologies if this has been covered. —- I am trying to refund a partial amount for two different scenarios to update my records in EE (I have processed these partial refunds with my Quickbooks Merchant Account already): 1) A customer purchased multiple tickets, and forgot to use their coupon code. We have refunded the difference, but I wanted to change the amount in EE to reflect the true paid amount. I attempted to Edit Payment with -30.00 in the New Payment Amount section, but then the Invoice reflected $30 still to be paid. I then tried to adjust a ticket price, and it has completely changed the amounts owed now. 2) I have someone who wants to change their ticket from one that was more expensive to one that is less expensive, as well as changing the event they are attending. I have not refunded anything in our Quickbooks Merchant account yet. I have not tried any solution in this scenario, as I was having difficulty with the first one. This attendee is looking to change multiple tickets as well. Thanks! |
Hi Jennifer, Can you let us know what the original price of the tickets were, how many were purchased, and whether you want the 30.00 discount applied to the entire order or applied to each ticket? Depending on what you’re looking to do the solution will involve editing the Attendee Ticket Fees field on the Edit Attendee Data page. For the second part of the question, you could try the Attendee Mover tool that you have installed. Here’s a link to its documentation: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/attendee-re-assignment-addon/ |

Each Ticket for 4 different events/ dates was $75. For this in particular, we are offering a 10% discount total, so that equals $30 for the order. Or we could discount 10%/ $7.50 off each ticket (might be useful to know how to do this either way – total or per ticket). And thanks, I will try that Attendee Mover now. |

I’m sorry, apparently my customer wants to switch a ticket under the same event, not their ticket for another event/ date. In reference to to my second question (#2). How woud I go about this as well? |
Hi Jennifer, I checked on this and I’m afraid that because the tickets were spread over 4 different the system is not going to allow a partial refund to be logged. It simply was not built to handle this scenario. The one workaround I can think of right now is to re-register them for these events, apply the promo code, and mark the transaction as paid. Then you can delete the prior records starting with the non-primary attendee records, then finally the primary attendee record. |

Ok, thanks. And Changes to this does not affect my merchant account correct? Also, does that mean I will have to do the same for scenario #2 as well? Changing a ticket within an event, not changing an event? |
Hi Jennifer, You don’t the ticket within an event, you add the promo code to the checkout when you re-register them. With #2 if it was a single event registration you’ll change ticket price in their registration record. When you do either of the above it shouldn’t send any information to Quickbooks because it’s not altering the actual payments made. It’s only changing the registration records on the Event Espresso side of things. |

Can you further explain what you by this? |
|
#2 is also for multiple events, not single. |
Hi Jennifer, The easiest solution for this case may be to refund them the difference, cancel their original registrations, then re-register them for the events and ticket choices that they want to attend. |

ok thank you. |
You’re welcome. |
