Refunds
4 min read Updated 13 Nov 2026

You refund straight from the order page – the whole order, individual tickets or any amount you choose. The money goes back to the buyer's card or Swish, and the buyer automatically receives a credit receipt.
Before you start
- It's your call. Buyers can't refund or cancel purchases themselves in Ticsie. They contact you and you make the refund. As the organizer, you decide your refund policy.
- Fees aren't refunded. Card fees, SMS fees and platform fees are never part of a refund. The most you can refund is the ticket price, minus any discount and minus anything already refunded.
- Cancelled event? Setting the event's status to Avbokat (cancelled) doesn't refund anything automatically. You need to refund each order. See Status, publishing and visibility.
- Before payout. Refunds are made in the panel until the event has been paid out. After that, the event is locked.
How to refund an order
- Open the order. Go to the event → Orders and click View.
- Start the refund. Click Återbetala… (refund…) in the Refund box.
- Choose what to refund. Tick the tickets under Choose Tickets, or tick Ange eget belopp (enter custom amount) and type the amount (see below).
- Check the amount. Att återbetala (amount to refund) shows exactly what the buyer gets back.
- Confirm. Click Confirm Refund.
Tickets or a custom amount
| Choice | Amount | The tickets |
|---|---|---|
| Tickets only | The sum of the selected tickets' prices | The selected tickets are voided and any seats go back on sale. |
| Tickets + custom amount | The amount you enter | The selected tickets are voided. |
| Custom amount only | The amount you enter | All tickets remain valid. |
A custom amount without tickets is useful when the buyer should get partial compensation but still attend – for example if the programme has changed. The maximum amount is shown below the field.
What happens next?
- Card: the refund is made immediately, but it usually takes 5–10 banking days before it shows in the buyer's account.
- Swish: the money normally arrives within a few minutes.
- Credit receipt: the buyer automatically receives a credit receipt by email. You can download it with Kreditkvitto PDF or send it again with Skicka om kreditkvitto.
- Status: the order gets the status Refunded, and the order page shows whether it's fully or partially refunded.
- Payout: the refunded amount is deducted from the event's revenue in your payout.
You can make several refunds on the same order, but only one at a time. If you're told a refund is already in progress, wait a moment and try again.
Note
A refund can't be undone. Double-check the amount to refund before you confirm.
If the event is cancelled
- Change the status. Set the event to Avbokat (cancelled) so no more tickets can be bought.
- Tell your buyers. Export the buyer list, or import the buyers into a contact list and send an email. See Campaigns and contact lists.
- Refund each order. Work through Orders and refund them one at a time. Filter on the status Paid to see which are left.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I refund the full amount the buyer paid?
Fees – card fee, SMS fee and platform fee – are never refunded. If the buyer used a discount code, the maximum is also the ticket price after the discount.
The buyer says the money hasn't arrived. What should I do?
Card refunds often take 5–10 banking days to appear. Swish refunds usually arrive within minutes. You can resend the credit receipt as confirmation. If it has been longer, contact us.
Can I refund after the event has been paid out?
Not in the panel – the event is locked after payout. Contact us and we'll help.
Can I refund complimentary tickets?
No – they're free, so there's nothing to refund. Delete them instead with Delete Complimentary Order. See Managing an order.
