- Exchanging product items - if there are product items on the order, make sure to leave them in the basket as return items and at the next step (products) add new product items to the basket for the new performance.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Why can't I find my Order?
If you are using the Search bar to find your Order, you need the customer name, email address, event name or reference number. If the order doesn't appear after this, then you may need to check that the details are correct.
If you are using the Orders page, then you may have it in the wrong filter. Use the Filter bar to ensure that the Complete box is ticked.
Why can't I see the Exchange option on my Order?
This is because the Order is not Complete yet. If the order status shows as Reservation or In Basket then the original transaction has not been completed and the Refund option will not show.
To complete the original transaction, you just need to click the Edit Transaction button at the top of the page.
Why can't I complete my payment/transaction?
This will be because the Payment Received line does not match the Subtotal line. If you have processed a payment for part of the subtotal amount, then you must put through the remaining amount. It is only when the Balance is £0.00 that the transaction can be completed.
Why can't I change the customer details?
You are unable to change customer details on a refund or exchange.
How can I change the Payment Methods that appear in checkout?
You need to contact a team member of your organisation who can add Payment Methods on the Organisation Settings page and enable Channel access.
