# How to refund (return) a payment and how does it work?

## We'll explain how to manage refunds or returns of payments for tickets, workshop-type sessions or products of attendees

**IMPORTANT** ❗At the moment, only the Meetmaps team can issue refunds. Therefore, contact Meetmaps in case you need to process one.

Also note that **a partial refund of payments is not possible.**

**NOTE 🗒️:** There are three types of payments possible within the Meetmaps platform:

1. **Ticket** sales (only in the registration form).  
   **+ info 👉** [How does the Tickets section work?](https://help.meetmaps.com/en/how-does-the-tickets-section-work?hsLang=en)
2. Sale of **workshop-type agenda sessions** (in the registration form and/or on the App/Web).  
   **+ info 👉**[What are the Agenda Workshop Sessions and how do they work?](https://help.meetmaps.com/en/what-are-workshop-agenda-sessions-and-how-do-they-work?hsLang=en)
3. Sale of **products or services** (only in the registration form).  
   **+ info 👉**[What is the products section and how it is configured?](https://help.meetmaps.com/en/what-is-the-products-section-and-how-is-it-configured?hsLang=en)

### Examples

**CASE 1 🍂:** the attendee purchases **through the registration form:**

- 1 ticket to the event (€10)
- 1 workshop-type session (€20)
- 1 product (€25)
  
  **Refund:** the only possible refund is the total (€55), since there is only one payment of €55.

**CASE 2 🍃:** the attendee purchases **through the registration form:**

- 1 ticket to the event (€10)
- 1 product (€25)

 And later, within the **App or Web (agenda module)**, purchase:

- 1 workshop-type session (€20)

**Refund:** in this case there are **two different payments** and **two refunds** can be made: €35 (payment made in the registration form) and €20 for the workshop-type session.

### What happens when we make a refund?

When we manage the refund at Meetmaps we have **two options:**

**Option 1** 🍏: the purchased products are again on sale and the attendee is also deleted from the Attendee List, so they will not be able to access the event.

Additionally, this attendee can re-register for the event through the registration form.❗

***Example:** the attendee purchases 1 ticket to the event + 1 workshop-type session. When you make the refund, both the ticket and the workshop-style session are again available for another attendee to purchase. And this attendee disappears from Attendee List.*

**Option 2 🍎:** Only the payment is refunded and the attendee is still on the Attendee List, so they will be able to access the event.

Additionally, this attendee will not be able to register for the event again through the registration form❗

***Example:** the attendee purchases 1 ticket to the event. When making the refund, the user receives the refund. This attendee will still appear in the Attendee List.*

**IMPORTANT** ❗ There is a commission for managing the payments *(3% or 5% depending on your license)*. Therefore, it is necessary to have a minimum balance for the refund.

### Proof of refund

At the moment, the proof we can provide would be through an automatic email.

**NOTE🗒️:** There are **2 automatic emails** linked to refunds to be sent and to activate:

- When returning a payment
- When sending an invoice: from the *Invoices* section you can send the **corrective invoice** once the refund has been made.
