How to refund the remaining credit on an account?
If a customer has cancelled classes and has a positive remaining credit balance, you will want to return this to £0
Identifying a Payment to Refund
You cannot refund manual credits directly. Instead, you refund an amount from a previous payment that covers the total credit to be returned.
-
Navigate to Customers -> Transactions
-
Look for a payment that is equal to or greater than the refund amount.
NOTE: You can only refund payments, and not credit. For more information on how refunds work and how to do them, click here

- For example:
-
-
-
The current outstanding credit amount is £25.
-
Payments 109 & 111 are equal to or greater than £25.
-
Payment 112 is not equal to or greater than £25.
-
Therefore, payments 109 & 111 can be used to refund outstanding credit and not payment 112.

If no single monthly payment covers it, the initial payment often will, as this includes:
-
-
First month’s deposit
-
Any pro-rata charge
-
NOTE: If you are trying to refund by Stripe/Card, choose a payment that was made with Stripe/Card, as refunds are made by the same payment method as the original payment.
Refunding payment
- Open the payment to be refunded
- Enter the refund amount (equal to the outstanding credit balance)
- Untick "Credit the customer for the value of the refund, so their balance remains unaffected"
- Press "Add Refund"
- The customer's balance will return to 0 on the system.
- If refunded by Stripe/Card, the customer will be automatically refunded to their card.
- Other refund methods, including Cheque, BACS and Cash will have to be refunded to the customer manually.
