To Issue a Refund in EventCreate

  1. Go to: Track > Reports > Orders/Registrations

  2. Search by guest name, email, or order number.

  3. Click the relevant Order Number to open the order details.

  4. Once you are in the Order, Click “Issue Refund” for a FULL or PARTIAL refund:

    • Full Refund: Refunds the entire order.

    • Partial Refund: Select the line item(s) you'd like to refund.
      (Note: Partial refunds can only be done at the line item level.)

💡 If you need to refund a specific dollar amount (not tied to a line item), you’ll need to issue the refund via Stripe (see below).

5. Once the order is refunded, you will see a REFUNDED notation next to the order.

REPORTING: To ensure that EventCreate's and Stripe's data sync, you must delete/refund the order in EventCreate and Stripe will process the refund for you.


🚫 Important Notes:


ISSUING A PARTIAL REFUND THROUGH STRIPE:

If you'd like to refund a custom dollar amount, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Stripe dashboard: https://stripe.com (using the credentials you created when you set up EventCreate payments)

  2. Locate the payment and issue the refund manually.

⚠️ Note: Refunds processed in Stripe do not automatically sync with EventCreate. We recommend adding a note under the attendee’s name in EventCreate for tracking and reporting purposes.

🔄 Syncing EventCreate + Stripe

Always initiate refunds from EventCreate when possible. This ensures your reports in both systems stay in sync. If you refund only in Stripe, it won’t reflect in EventCreate’s order reports.
