Transfer a Registration - Standard Activity

Starting and Completing a Transfer to the Same Member between Standard Activities

Last Update: December 8th, 2023

The transfer process essentially allows staff to cancel an existing registration for a user and apply the account credit created from the cancellation as a transfer credit to pay for a new registration for that user. This avoids requiring a refund to be processed and a new registration payment to be taken from the user. The transfer process can only be used on registrations for standard activities.

How Payment is Applied Using the Resulting Account Credit in a Transfer

Not Enough Credit

If there is not enough credit to cover a portion of the new cost, the system will apply as much of the balance as possible to the new, higher-priced registration. The user will be taken to the Payment page and asked to complete the payment process as normal. However, the amount due will be the cost of the new registration minus the amount of the account credit created during the transfer. 

  • For instance, if a user was registered for a $0 activity and was transferred to a $6 activity, the user now owes $6, which is the fee for the activity transferred into. Staff can choose any of the traditional payment methods, or no payment, leaving a balance on the account.

Left-Over Credit

It is also possible that credit may be left over if the new registration is less expensive. NOTE: The credit will not automatically apply to another item in the cart. It only gets automatically applied to the new registration for the transfer. This helps avoid the financial errors that were occurring with the original transfer process when departments misunderstood the application of the resulting account credits. You can refund the resulting account credit from the left-over payment back to a credit card. How to Refund an Account Credit
