This requires logging in to the PayPal Dashboard, locating the order, and refunding the customer there. Then, you&#8217;ll want to return to your WordPress site to manually return the ticket. We&#8217;ll walk you through the steps here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-refund-the-order-with-paypal\">Refund the order with PayPal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start off by logging in to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/signin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PayPal Dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once there, you&#8217;ll want to locate the ticket you&#8217;d like to refund. It&#8217;s important to note here that you&#8217;ll need to locate the PayPal transaction ID, and not the Order ID that is associated with the order in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find this ID number by visiting <code>https:\/\/your-site.com\/tickets-order\/?tc-order-id={GATEWAY_ID_FROM_LIST<\/code>}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-21-at-8.31.29-AM.png\" alt=\"PayPal Capture ID\" class=\"wp-image-1952548\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you find this number, you can easily issue a refund directly from the PayPal Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ticket-stock-considerations\">Ticket Stock Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that PayPal doesn&#8217;t notify your site about that refund, when you proceed right from its dashboard (and don&#8217;t provide a way to other services, like Tickets Commerce, to receive that information), so the ticket stock will not automatically increase. If you&#8217;d like to keep the original capacity, you&#8217;ll have to manually delete the ticket that you refunded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, locate the event or page where your ticket is and click on <strong>Attendees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"721\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2023\/11\/new-blocks-ticket-attendees-link-1024x721.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1958324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2023\/11\/new-blocks-ticket-attendees-link-1024x721.png 1024w, https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2023\/11\/new-blocks-ticket-attendees-link-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2023\/11\/new-blocks-ticket-attendees-link-768x541.png 768w, https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2023\/11\/new-blocks-ticket-attendees-link.png 1244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hover over the ticket and click <strong>Delete<\/strong>.
