Creating Credit Notes
Have you ever needed to refund part or all of a booking? Well the credit notes feature allows you to do just that.
Here's how you can get this done.
Credit notes can be created in 2 places:
- Within your Stripe account
- Within your Webready Invoice
If you need to create a credit note for a booking that is linked to your Stripe account, then it is recommended that the credit note be created within Stripe. It would then be synced and displayed in Webready.
Creating a credit note in Webready is not synced to Stripe, so this is best for cases where you are manually handling a refund that does not need to be reflected Stripe.
