You can check whether an auto-refund was credited to a cancelled booking by navigating to the Attendees page for the relevant session and expanding the list of Cancellations. On this list you will be able to see the date and time that the customer's booking was cancelled (no matter whether by admin or the customer themselves) and if they were issued a refund in the form of a gifted package, a credit back to a live package or was marked by an admin as refunded by another method.
If your customer didn’t receive a refund credit automatically but you believe they should have, then we would recommending checking the following:
Has this particular session been configured with an auto-refund policy? (You can check this in the session settings)
Did the customer make their booking using a payment method selected in Step 1 of your auto-refund policy?
Did the customer or admin cancel in line with the notice period configured in Step 2 of the auto-refund policy? In order to receive/issue a refund credit, the customer or admin must cancel in line with the cancellation period.
Did the admin tick the checkbox next to Apply any auto-refund that may be due in line with session's cancellation policy on the cancel confirmation pop up?
If a customer already has a live instance of an auto-refund bundle from a previous cancellation, then any refund credits issued from future cancellations will be added to this original bundle.
Please note that any bookings made by an admin where a package hasn't been debited against the booking or where the customer has paid via Pay on door will not trigger the auto-refund policy as neither of these are a configured payment methods for a refund.
Once you have resolved any issues, you can manually credit back your customer following the instructions in this article.
