  5. The Token payment will then go into the basket as a Pending payment. Once the basket balance is £0, click Complete Transaction to finish the Transaction

    NOTE - the Payment Received line must match the Subtotal line in order for the Transaction to be completed. If you have processed a payment for part of the Subtotal amount, then you must put through the remaining amount.

NOTE - if you have only spent part of the Token amount on a Transaction, you can still spend the remaining amount on another Transaction.

However, if it is a Paper Theatre Token that has been used, the Customer will receive the remaining amount in a new Token that will be sent to their email once the Transaction is complete. If it is a Plastic or e-Gift Theatre Token, then they will be able to spend the remaining amount with the original Token.
