Reconciliation Process
Payments processed through BlueSnap are processed directly into a pre-designated revenue account, and each payment site can be customized for each event (within certain limitations) based on the information you provide.
Check payments received from Eventbrite will be deposited and GL accounts will be credited approximately equal to check deposited amount. Cash Management will reconcile check amount to sales reports generated in Eventbrite.
Refund Policy
BlueSnap refunds are handled by the UMass President’s Office Treasurer. The event contact person should fill out the Credit Request Form and send to Treasurer_eCommerce@umassp.edu.
For Eventbrite, all refund requests will be routed to the Office of Cash Management Services at UMass Lowell. Only Amy Kirchner or Donna Barron from the Office of Cash Management Services are allowed to initiate the refund process.
