Wix Bookings: Refunding Clients

2 min read
Whenever you or a client cancel a paid service, we recommend handling the refund as soon as possible. This is to avoid chargebacks, which are charge reversals issued by payment providers on behalf of clients that dispute them. 
You can issue refunds directly from the Orders tab or the Participant List in your site's dashboard.
Tips:
  • To reduce chargebacks, make sure to update clients as soon as you process their refunds. 
  • Keep records about all the refunds you issue, including details about the services, clients, dates, and amounts. 
In this article, learn how to refund clients:

Refunding clients using the Orders tab

You can process refunds for most paid orders right in the Orders tab in the Wix dashboard.

Tip:
If you need to cancel the session as well, you can do so separately. Learn more about cancelling sessions.

Refunding clients using the Participants List

You can issue refunds to clients from the Participant List in your Booking Calendar. 

To refund a client using the Participant List:
