How to Cancel and/or Refund a Ticket

 
I need to cancel and/or refund a ticket.  How do I do it?

How to CANCEL a Ticket
Canceling a ticket releases the ticket back into that ticket type's inventory and makes it so the ticket number is invalid.

  1. Login to your AttendStar account and click the Search button on the AttendStar main screen


  2. In the search bar, type the attendee's order number (if they don't have their order number, you can search by their name or email address)

  5. A box will appear to confirm the cancellation of the ticket. Select the Cancel option again
         
     
  6. In the text box, explain the reason for refunding the ticket. When you have filled out the appropriate information, click Cancel; then click Cancel Ticket

     

  7. You will receive a confirmation when the ticket has been canceled.


How to REFUND a Ticket
Refunding a ticket in AttendStar is for accounting purposes only and will be reflected on your event ticket sales report as such. In order to actually issue a refund, you MUST issue it through your payment gateway/merchant account.


  1. If you are using your own payment gateway, log in to your payment gateway/merchant account and refund the attendee according to that specific processor. NOTE: There is NO WAY to refund the actual monies to an attendee through AttendStar. You must use the payment gateway/merchant account used to collect the ticket sales. If you are using AttendStar Payment Processing, please contact support@attendstar.com to issue a refund.
     
  2. Login to your AttendStar account and click the Search button on the AttendStar main screen

     
  3. In the search bar, type the attendee's order number (if they don't have their order number, you can search by their name or email address)

    **NOTE: A ticket that is refunded is automatically canceled; there is no option to just refund a ticket
