With TicketSpice, you can easily update existing orders by adding or removing tickets, merchandise, or add-ons. You can also edit other details like the ticket date or time slot. If your changes result in an additional charge or refund, you can choose to charge the card on file, use a new card, override the amount, or take no action. You also have the option to notify the ticket buyer about the updates. This article will walk you through each step to edit your ticket orders quickly and efficiently.

Note: In TicketSpice, each active order must include at least one active ticket. If you want to remove all tickets from an order, we recommend canceling the order. Click here to learn how to do so.

Pro Tip: You can also turn on the Attendee Account Center to allow ticket buyers to edit their own order(s). Click here to learn how to enable this feature.

Note: Any actions applied on your live page will also take effect when editing an order. For example, if your page hides your VIP ticket level on Mondays, this ticket level will not appear when a Monday date is selected.

If you want an admin to have the ability to make certain edits, but do not want your attendees to select these options, we recommend setting up an admin use only field. Click here to learn how to set this up.

Pro Tip: When a change results in an upcharge or refund, the new transaction will appear under the Linked Transactions section on the order.

To view full transaction details, click the eye icon next to the transaction.

Edit a Ticket Date and or Time Slot

On a date-based page, you can easily update the ticket date or time slot for which your tickets are valid. This allows you to adjust orders if an attendee needs a different date and time.

Note: Any actions applied on your live page will also take effect when editing an order. For example, if your page hides the 10 AM time slot on Thursdays, that time slot will not appear when a Thursday date is selected.

FAQs

How do refunds work with offline payments in TicketSpice?

For orders paid via offline methods, TicketSpice does not automatically return funds to the ticket buyer, since no payment details were collected. Refunding an offline transaction in TicketSpice will update your reports to show that a refund was issued, but any actual payment must be handled separately by your event.

What happens if I remove tickets from an order, but choose not to refund?

If you remove tickets from an order without issuing a refund, TicketSpice will mark the tickets as "Canceled," but no refund will be applied to the order.

I edited an order without issuing a refund at the time, but now I need to refund the ticket buyer. How can I process a refund for an order that's already been edited?

To issue a refund after the order has been edited, we recommend processing the refund through the Transactions screen. Click here to learn how to do this.
