Saving no time, let’s head to the new features.

- The student or client will be notified by email about this action.
- Guess what, admins can customise the email template that goes out to clients for a refund.
- In the field “Refund amount”, fill the exact amount to be paid back.
- In the field “Reason for Refund”, you can mention the reason that you are providing the refund for.

We found two pressing issues that needed attention. Here we go.
Fixes
