How to Issue a Credit Note as a Refund

Last updated on Jun 23, 2025

Retain funds in your business and give your customer the flexibility to book on their terms in the future.

When cancellations occur or refunds are requested, issuing a credit note instead of an immediate refund gives you a flexible alternative. This feature lets you retain funds within your business while giving customers the flexibility to use their credit toward future bookings.​

NOTE:

  • A credit note functions like a gift voucher and remains valid for 3 years (36 months) from its issue date. Once a customer redeems it, the details will be visible in your balance and within the relevant order. You can also track its status—whether applied or not—under ‘Coupons’ on your Dashboard.

  • The customer will receive an email notification with their credit note details and instructions on how to redeem it.

Instructions:

  1. Go to the "Orders" section on your Dashboard.

  2. Find the order you wish to refund by searching for the Order ID. Enter the order ID in the field and then click on "Apply filter".

  3. Click the Order ID to open the order details.

  4. On the order detail page, click the "Process a Refund" button.

  5. Select "Class cancelled" as the reason for the refund, then enter the full amount to refund.

  6. Tick the box beside "Create a credit note for the refund amount instead".

  7. Create your message to the customer and then tick the box beside the attendee name to cancel the attendee's spot.

  8. Click the "Process Refund" button to finalize.

  9. The update, including the new credit note, will be visible on the order detail page under Payment Activity and Activity.
