Automatically Cancel Refunded Tickets

Written by Holly

Use Auto Cancel Tickets When Refunded? to decide whether a refunded ticket should continue to grant attendee access.


Change the setting

Open Event Settings, then select Billing & Tax Settings under Payments & Partners. In Additional Settings, leave Auto Cancel Tickets When Refunded? on if refunded tickets should stop granting access, or turn it off if attendees should keep access after a refund. Select Save after making a change.


Additional Settings in Billing and Tax Settings, including Auto Cancel Tickets When Refunded


How it works

  • The setting is on by default. Refunded tickets stop granting access to restricted sessions, ticket-gated content and ticket benefits.

  • If you turn it off, the attendee is still refunded but the ticket remains active for access. This can help with partial refunds or other cases where access should continue.

  • HeySummit checks the event's current setting. If you refunded a ticket while the setting was off and later turn it on, that earlier refunded ticket can also stop granting access.

When you refund a ticket or an entire order from the Purchases area, the confirmation also says whether ticket access will be cancelled or kept based on the current setting.
