Cash refunds

Gymcatch does not process cash refunds. These are processed through your Stripe dashboard. To action a cash refund:

  • Log in to your Stripe dashboard at Stripe.com/login

  • Search for your customer by adding their email in the Search bar at the top of the page

  • Click on the related payment. If you need more information on each payment you can click on it, then scroll down to the Meta Data section to see more information.

  • Click the backward arrow + Refund text button in the top right corner and action the pop up.

If you wish to mark your customer as refunded via Stripe on their Gymcatch booking record, then you can easily do this by going to Schedule > click Details on relevant session > Attendees > click on this customer's name > click on the booking in the Payment records table so that the row highlights with a green border > Mark as refunded on Stripe. If you decided to issue this cash refund via bank transfer instead for example, then you do have the option to Mark as refunded by another method.

Credit backs

The easiest way to action a credit back is via the gifting of a 1 class credit bundle. You can do this by following either of below methods:

Gifting a new package

1. Create a 1 credit bundle:

  • In Packages, create a 1 session credit bundle (more info on how to do this here)

  • Give the bundle a tag(s). If your session(s) already have a tag, then make sure you give your bundle this same tag(s)

  • After creating the bundle, leave it in draft form

2. Add 'Bundles' as a payment option on your sessions:

  • Click on the Details button next to next session in a series from the Schedule page

  • Then click the Edit this session button

  • Ensure Bundles are selected as a Payment option

  • If needed, update the tag field in the form to have a tag ensuring this is the same tag that is on your 1 credit bundle.

  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and then click Update all sessions in this series on the right hand side

  • Repeat for all session series you have

3. Gift this 1 credit bundle to your customer:

There's two ways that you can do this.

A. Gift the 1 credit bundle to your customer via the Packages page:

  • Click on Packages

  • Click on the package you just created from the Bundles filter

  • Click Gift this package

  • Select the customer(s) to whom you wish to gift it

  • Click Gift this package

B. Gift the 1 credit bundle to your customer via the Attendees tab:

  • Click Details on the relevant session

  • Click on Attendees

  • Click on the customer you wish to refund

  • Click on the booking in the Payment records table so that the row highlights with a green border

  • Use the arrows to navigate to the 1 credit bundle from the options under Refund options

  • With the 1 credit bundle selected, click Gift customer this package

Crediting an existing package

If the customer already has a live instance of this 1 class credit bundle from another refund or you would like to add a refund credit to a different live package of theirs, then there's two ways of doing this:

A. Add the refund credit to the live package via the Packages page:

  • Click on Packages

  • Click on the package you just created from the Bundles / Passes filter

  • Package customers

  • Check the box next to the customer's name

  • Update

  • From there you can add credits to the package

  • Next

  • Update 1 package

B. Add the refund credit to the live package via the Attendees tab:

  • Click Details on the relevant session

  • Click on Attendees

  • Click on the customer you wish to refund

  • Click on the booking in the Payment records table so that the row highlights with a green border

  • Use the arrows to navigate to the package you would like to credit from the options under Refund options

  • With the correct package selected, click Credit this package
