A partial refund hands back part of a card payment, up to the amount that was actually paid.
- Open the booking from Appointments.
- On the Invoice, open Manage and select Issue Refund.
- Switch to Partial Refund and enter the amount, up to Maximum amount.
- Choose a reason, answer Notify customer?, then select Process Refund.
The amount field refuses anything above Maximum amount, which is what was actually paid. Pick a reason, because Stripe records it against the charge. Notify customer? has to be answered before Process Refund turns on, and Refund silently is the right answer when you have already spoken to them.
Tip
A cancellation fee is charged separately from the booking, so it refunds separately too, under Refund Cancellation Fee in the same menu.
