Internal – Admin Panel - Payouts - Secondary ticketing

Internal use only. This page is intended exclusively for internal CM.com employee use. Customers do not have access to this section and should never be referred to it.

Overview

The Admin panel is located in:

Dashboard → Internal → Admin panel

When an event is selected go to: 9 dots in left top corner → Internal → Admin panel

This section is used to manage organisation-level platform behaviour and advanced operational settings.

It controls internal feature toggles and system-wide defaults that influence:

  • Backoffice behaviour

  • Ticketing logic

  • Refund permissions

  • Language defaults

  • Secondary ticketing

  • Financial presentation

  • Adjust the payment frequency can here as well - Payout period

This section is intended for:

  • Platform administrators

  • Finance administrators

  • Internal operations teams

Changes here may affect all events within the organisation.


Default Settings Section

This area contains operational feature toggles.


Backoffice Orders

Toggle: Enable / Disable

Purpose:

  • Enables the NXTGN backoffice reservation flow.

  • Replaces older guest list logic.

Impact:

  • Controls how internal manual reservations are handled.

  • Affects backoffice order creation behaviour.


Max Scans

Toggle

Purpose:

  • Allows the organiser to define a maximum number of scans per ticket type.

Impact:

  • Controls scanning limitations.

  • Influences entrance validation logic.


Self Service Refunds

Toggle

Purpose:

  • Allows buyers to request a refund themselves on an existing order after purchase, without contacting support.

Impact:

  • When enabled: buyers see a refund option in their order confirmation or account.

  • When disabled: buyers cannot self-initiate a refund and must contact support directly.

  • Influences refund workflow and support load.

⚠️ Important — This is NOT the same as Ticket Guarantee

Self Service Refunds and Ticket Guarantee are two separate features:

  • Self Service Refunds — controls whether buyers can request a refund on their order after purchase. This toggle can be turned on or off by the organizer.

  • Ticket Guarantee — a protection service offered by CM to buyers during checkout. This cannot be turned on or off by the organizer — it is always enabled and managed by CM.

If an organizer asks "how do I disable the ticket refund option in my checkout/shop?", the answer is NOT this toggle — refer them to the Ticket Guarantee documentation instead.


Shared Ticket Pool

Toggle

Purpose:

  • Enables ticket types to share the same stock.

Impact:

  • Allows multiple ticket types to draw from a shared capacity.

  • Influences inventory management and pool logic.
