Overview
There are several use cases where you may need to partially refund an event ticket for a guest. This can be accomplished by swapping the event ticket for a discounted ticket type or add-on.
Prerequisites
Before modifying the order, you'll first want to ensure that you have an object ready to swap for the existing event ticket that is being partially removed/refunded. For example:
- In the instance that a member forgot to verify, missed their discount, and needs to be refunded the difference, you'll want to add a Ticket Type to your Price List (limited to internal sales channels) valued at the cost of the discounted member ticket. See Working with Price Lists for more details.
- In cases where you'd like to retain a cancellation fee or deposit when refunding an event ticket, you'll want to create an Add-On with a name like "Cancellation Fee" (to make this add-on useful in multiple scenarios, we recommend creating it with a $1 value, and then adjusting the quantity as needed to represent different fee amounts). See Working with Add-ons for more details.
