Change Registration Person
==========================

We have had instances in which a parent registers himself for an event with fees
instead of registering his child.
When this happens,
you can either refund the person's money,
drop him from the org, and then have him register the child.
Or you can follow the instructions below:

Step 1
    Create a Coupon for the specific Online Registration
    making it the amount the person has already paid.

.. seealso::
    :doc:`Coupon_Index`

Step 2
    Email the Coupon Code to the registrant,
    asking him to register (register the correct person this time)
    and apply the Coupon Code on the payment page.

    If the registrant will owe more than
    the amount of the Coupon,
    he will pay the difference online
    at the time of the registration.

.. note::
    The Coupon will be for the amount the person
    paid originally.
    Some registrations may have different fees
    based on age or options selected.
    So, if the person originally paid more than
    the actual correct registrant needs to pay,
    you will need to issue a refund on the
    original transaction for the difference.

    This is done on the Transactions Log as
    a Credit.

    .. seealso::
        :doc:`../Finance/Transactions_Index`

    If the original registrant paid less than
    the actual registrant,
    he will pay the difference after applying the Coupon Code.

Step 3
    Drop the original person from the organization.
    This will leave the new (correct) registrant enrolled.

The transaction will remain on the Transactions Log
in the name of the person that originally registered.
The new transaction will also display,
but as a Coupon transaction, not actual money.


PayLinks
--------
Because the correct person will be registering online,
he will receive an email confirmation containing a paylink,
if the registration allows for a deposit and you insert this
in the email confirmation.

The paylink for the original person will not be used,
as you will be dropping that person from th org.
