The Orders tab in Indy Admin is your main destination for viewing, searching, and managing all customer transactions made through your cinema—online and at point-of-sale (POS). It includes advanced filters, order detail management, and tools for collecting, swapping, and refunding items.


🧭 Navigation

Operations > Customers > Orders


🔍 Overview: Orders List View

This page displays all orders for your site, by default showing the past 7 days.

🔧 Filters:

Use filters to refine your search based on:

  • Date range – Last 7, 30, All Time, or a custom range

  • Site – All sites, or the specific site you’re logged into

  • Ownership – Orders placed by all staff or just yourself

  • Order State – Draft, Completed, Phone Booking, Unclaimed Refund, etc.

  • Order Type – Online, POS, Internal etc.

  • POS Register – e.g. POS1, POS2

  • Delivery Location – e.g. Candy Bar, Box Office

  • Showing – Search by specific screening

  • Sales Channel – Online or POS

📝 Draft Orders are shaded and marked in the "State" column.


🧾 Order Details View

Click into any order to see its full breakdown. You'll find:

  • Order status – Draft or Completed

  • Customer name

  • Items purchased – Tickets, concessions, etc.

  • Payment method – e.g. Card, Cash, Gift Card, User Credit

🔁 Order Actions

From the Order Detail page you can:

  • Swap items (POS only)


🔄 Refund Items (Admin only)

  1. Select the order.

  2. Click Refund Items.

  3. Deselect any items you do not wish to refund.

  4. Select whether collected items can be refunded (admin only).

  5. Refunds must go back to the original payment method (e.g. Gift Card, Stripe, Cash).

  6. Refunded items appear as voided, and the refund amount is subtracted from the original order total.


🔃 Swap Items (POS only)

Swapping can only be done at the POS.

  1. Find the order in the POS.

  2. Click the pencil icon to edit the order.

  3. Select the tickets to swap and confirm.

  4. Choose the new session and add replacement tickets.

  5. Complete the order to re-balance the payment total.

🧠 Helpful Tip: If the session price differs, you may need to add/remove additional payment or credit.


📦 Collect Items (POS)

Used for customers collecting pre-purchased items (e.g. online ticket sales):

Two ways to collect:

  1. Scan QR code or printed ticket at POS.

  2. If no ticket is available:

    • Go to Find Order

    • Select the order

    • Click Collect Items

    • Confirm and print

Collected tickets are logged in the order history and printed for the customer.


🛠️ Supported Payment Types

  • Stripe (on-site or online)

  • Cash

  • Cheque (rare)

  • Gift Cards

  • User Credit (can be used and refunded)


🗒️ Notes

  • The Orders tab is a core support area—ensure your team is confident with the refund, swap, and collect flows.

  • Refunds to collected items require admin permissions; ensure your FOH team knows the escalation path.

  • POS must be used for swaps; support and training for POS navigation is essential.
