How do I refund a HotDoc Payment for an appointment to the patient?

Last updated 27 February 2025 23:42   ∙   ~ minute read

Question

How do I refund a HotDoc Payment back to the patient, if it has been successfully collected by HotDoc?

Solution

Best Practice - Medical Director (Pracsoft) - Zedmed - Dental4Windows - HotDoc Calendar

If payment for a patient's appointment has been successfully collected by HotDoc and you need to refund the patient, you can do this by following the steps below. 

Whilst the patient will receive a refund in full, we are unable to refund the practice for the payment processing fee relevant to the appointment. The processing fee will be deducted from your next scheduled payout.

Please note: If you completed a manual Payment Request for immediate charge and you need to refund this to the patient, please see How to refund a Payment Request.


  1. In your HotDoc Dashboard, head to Payments > Booking Activity > All, and locate the booking you wish to refund and select the Refund button:
    *Tip: Type the patient's name in the Search Patient field

  2. You should then see a pop up box appear asking you to confirm the refund. Select Yes Refund to process the funds back to the patient:

  3. The Patient will receive an email advising them of the refund and that the funds will be returned within 5 business days:
