When [Ending a Subscription](/network-administrator-console/managing-your-subscribers/ending-a-subscription.md), Network Administrators have the option to issue a refund to a subscriber if they are on a paid service plan. Venue Administrators will automatically issue a refund or not, depending on your [default settings](/network-administrator-console/network-operator-settings/shopping-cart.md#what-do-each-of-the-fields-mean).

[Navigate the Subscriber Details](/network-administrator-console/managing-your-subscribers/view-and-modify-subscriber-details.md#how-to-find-a-subscriber-and-subscription-in-vault) and [End the Subscription Immediately.](/network-administrator-console/managing-your-subscribers/ending-a-subscription.md#how-to-end-a-subscription-immediately) You then have two options to calculate the refund for the subscriber. You may select a "refund date," which will calculate the refund for you on a pro-rata basis based on the last invoice date and the refund date. Alternatively, you may enter a "Refund Amount" manually. Double check the Refund Amount is accurate, and click "Confirm."
