In Booking Ninjas, Credit means an amount applied to reduce a current or future balance instead of returning money directly.
A credit keeps value on the customer or account for later use or reduces an amount already owed. It is different from a refund because money does not have to be sent back to the original payment method.
What Does Credit Mean in Practice?
A credit may be created after an adjustment, cancellation, overpayment, service issue, or approved refund-to-credit decision. The credit should show the amount, reason, status, and where it can be applied.
Why Does Credit Matter?
Credit tracking keeps balances accurate and helps teams see why an amount was reduced. It also prevents future-use value from being confused with a cash refund.
How Can Credit Connect to Other Records?
A credit should stay linked to the customer or account and, where relevant, the original booking, invoice, payment, refund, or adjustment that created it. That history makes later use and reconciliation easier.
Where Does Booking Ninjas Fit?
