We can hope that we do not need to give a Traveler a refund, but we know it is something that will happen. Read on to learn how to issue a refund.
Do you need to return a payment made by credit card?
CAUTION: There are two refunds you need to make. One in your payment gateway account to return the money to your traveler and one in YouLi to reflect that refund on their Trip Page Invoice.
- Remember, Stripe is doing the refund for you here, not YouLi. So you need to make sure to do the refund through Stripe.
- Be sure to also look into the Stripe Refund Policy as well
- Once you finalize the refund in Stripe, you can then reflect the payment in YouLi by refunding the payment in YouLi (see the next session on how to do that)
- Finally, AUTOMATED EMAIL REMINDERS (when turned on for a particular INSTALLMENT) will still be sent for a refunded payment because they may need to pay a different amount, and unless they aren't going on the TRIP, YouLi assumes you want reminders sent. If you do not want them sent, you can simply change their STATUS to "Declined."
COVID-19 NOTE: Be sure to read Stripe's FAQ during the crisis.
