A patron may come to you and tell you that they cannot attend an upcoming event / play and therefore they would like you to refund their tickets, but they also tell you that they would like the company to keep the money as a donation.

To convert a refunded tick to a donation, you would perform the following steps:

1. Open the Patron Record.

   Only tickets within the same order can be refunded at the same time.

   

3. Click the Refund button.

   The Order window will open.

   The Donation Default Settings window will open.
