Refunds and Various Fees

To refund an order you have several options

Click Orders on the top menu bar

Go to Events > Click the Event > Pick: Order Management (this will show you all the order for the specific event you clicked)

Search for the order using the top search bar

Find the order you would like to refund and click the order number

Options listed below

A. Simply remove the line item. This will not refund them. We recommend this if you plan to simply replace 1 ticket with another ticket, or you want to remove the item from the order and not give them a refund back, or perhaps give them a single-use promo code for a free ticket to use in the future. If you use Square (US) or Stripe, SimpleTix will keep the service fee. If it was a cash order or you use Square non-US (e.g. UK, CA, AU, IRE),  or Authorize.net you will not be charged at the end of the billing cycle for that ticket

B. Do a partial refund and select the tickets to refund. If this was a credit card order the credit will go back to their bank.

If you used Square (US) or Stripe, SimpleTix will keep the service fee since it was not a full refund. If it was a cash order or you used Square non-US (e.g. UK, CA, AU, IRE),  or Authorize.net you will not be charged at the end of the billing cycle for that ticket

C.  Full Refund. Like above:  If this was a credit card order the credit will go back to their bank. The payment gateways will keep their original credit card processing fee. SimpleTix will return the service fee if you do the refund in the same calendar month as the original order. If it was a cash order, and you used Square non-US (e.g. UK, CA, AU, IRE),  or Authorize.net you will not be charged at the end of the billing cycle for those tickets

D. Simply cancel and delete the entire order. This will not issue a refund. We recommend this if it was a fraudulent order or a cash order and the person will not use the tickets. If you use Square (US), or Stripe then SimpleTix will keep their service fee. If it was a cash order or you used Square non-US (e.g. UK, CA, AU, IRE),  or Authorize.net you will not be charged at the end of the billing cycle for that ticket

Additional notes

If you are using Authorize.net or Square non-US (UK, AU, CA, IRE) -if you make the refund, delete a line item or do a partial refund during the billing cycle month, you will not be charged any service fees for those tickets during the month. If you do any refunds, cancellations, or delete tickets from an order any time after the current billing cycle we will not refund our service fees previously charged the prior month.

The older version of SimpleTix was compatible with: SecureSubmit, ePay, PayPal, BluePay, SafeSave, Acceptiva, USAePay, PayFast, EasyPay, Payeezy, Moneris, Beanstream, PrismPay, eProcessingNetwork - if you use one of those payment providers, the Authorize.Net policy above would be the same
