If a customer needs their registration payment returned, the first step is typically to cancel the enrollment. Canceling an enrollment allows you to remove the participant from the program and choose how the refund should be handled.
Common reasons to cancel an enrollment include:
- A customer requests a refund for a registration they no longer want.
- A participant withdraws from a program, season, or event.
- A parent accidentally registered for the wrong program or participant.
- A duplicate registration was submitted and one enrollment needs to be removed.
- A customer needs to transfer to a different program and the original enrollment needs to be canceled.
- A registration was made in error and payment needs to be returned.
When canceling an enrollment, you can choose the appropriate refund option:
- Refund Credit Card – Sends the refund back to the customer's original credit card payment method.
- Credit – Places a credit on the customer's account that can be used for a future order or manually refunded outside the system.
- No Refund – Cancels the enrollment without returning funds.
Note: If a customer is asking for a refund of their registration payment, you will generally need to cancel the enrollment first before processing the refund.
