### Issuing a refund
126+
Refunds are now initiated through Billing Admin and finalized in Stripe via a credit note.

128+
1. Navigate to Billing Admin → Refunds and click "Add refund"
129+
2. Find and select the correct customer (search by organization ID)

3. Find invoice: Open Stripe in a new tab. Find the same customer in Stripe. Under Invoices, locate the invoice corresponding to the usage period or issue you’re refunding. Copy the Invoice ID.
131+
4. Paste the Invoice ID into the refund flow in Billing Admin. You’ll see total invoice amount and per product amount breakdown
132+
5. Allocate refund amounts per product. Refunds must be issued per product. Enter the refund amount for each affected product. You may need to do more math here: for an event spike refund may span Product Analytics, Person Profiles, and Group Analytics. Billing Admin does not automatically split refunds across products, you must do the math and allocate amounts manually. As you enter per product amounts, the total refund amount updates automatically.

6. Select refund reasons: Choose a Stripe refund reason (required) and select an internal reason (used for internal reporting and analysis)
134+
7. Add any relevant notes or context (e.g. Zendesk ticket, Slack link, short explanation)
135+
8. Once you review everything and all looks good save the refund in Billing Admin. This will issue a Stripe credit note, which is processed as a refund to the customer’s default payment method. Stripe automatically sends a notification email to the customer.
