Refunding a customer
Refunding a customer may be necessary for various reasons, such as booking issues, cancellations, or billing mistakes. Below is a step-by-step guide to processing a refund.
Refunding and removing a customer from a session
To remove a customer from a session and issue a refund, follow these steps:
- In Swift Admin, navigate to the Calendar view
- Locate the Session and click on the session’s booking tile
- Select the Manage Participants and Payments icon
- Find the customer’s name and click the Manage Bookings and Payments icon next to it.
- In the Bookings panel, click the Remove button next to the session(s) you wish to refund and remove the customer from.
- Confirm the refund amount displayed or adjust it if necessary.
- Click the Issue Refund button to process the refund immediately. This will also remove the customer from the session.
Other ways to refund
If you simply need to refund a customer for a payment without removing them from the session, you can also refund under their profile,
- In Swift Admin, navigate to the customer's profile
- Select the Payments tab
- Under Payment History, you will see a list of all the transactions that have been processed for the customer.
- Find the transaction you’d like to refund and click the Refund icon next to it.
- Specify the amount to be refunded. You can adjust this amount if needed.
- Choose the payment method that the refund will be issued to
- Click the Issue Refund to process and record the refund immediately
Note ⚠️ : Refunding a customer this way will not remove them from the session(s) being refunded. They will still be listed as a participant in the session. If you need to both refund and remove them from a booking, follow the steps above.
