Refund Types: Who Handles What?

Last updated on May 30, 2025

When an event is cancelled or rescheduled, CloudJoi offers two refund pathways:
You can either let CloudJoi handle it, or choose to manage refunds yourself.


🧾 1. CloudJoi-Handled Refund (Default)

By default, CloudJoi will manage the refund process for all affected ticket holders.

What this means:

  • CloudJoi sends the refund announcement email

  • Patrons who paid by credit card will be refunded automatically

  • Patrons who paid via online banking will be asked to fill in a refund request form

  • Refunds are processed within CloudJoi’s standard timeline (approx. 30 days)

Fees:

  • A refund service fee applies (based on your organiser rate plan)

  • View current organization plan →

  • The original service fee still applies, even for refunded orders

  • Handling fees paid by the patron (e.g. ticketing/transaction fees) are usually non-refundable


🤝 2. Organiser-Handled Refund (Optional)

If you'd prefer to manage your own refunds — especially for offline tickets or cash sales — you can opt out of CloudJoi's refund flow.

What this means:

  • You’ll contact your patrons directly

  • No refund fees will be charged by CloudJoi

  • CloudJoi will continue to generate your settlement as usual

  • You can export a CSV list of all refund requests (with bank details) via the Export tab

🧾 This option is also used when CloudJoi has already transferred the settlement to you and cannot refund directly.


💬 Can I partially refund just some ticket holders?

Yes. CloudJoi supports:

  • Partial refunds for multi-day events (e.g. only Sunday cancelled)

  • Refunds for rescheduled shows (holding the amount until new date is set)
