Funds settle to your TouchNet merchant account, and financial data remains in the TouchNet environment. That helps higher education teams keep institutional reconciliation and payment controls aligned with existing campus processes.
With TouchNet connected, refunds can be processed directly in Accelevents. This gives event teams a simpler way to handle attendee changes without moving into a separate payment workflow for common refund requests.
After connection, Event Billing ID and Metadata fields appear in Accelevents. If your institution uses internal billing codes, those values can flow into the TouchNet transaction and appear in transaction reporting.

When a registrant clicks Confirm Purchase in Accelevents, they are redirected to the TouchNet payment form. They complete payment there, using the payment methods configured by the institution in TouchNet.
