📝  Important notes:

- Detaching a student does not automatically update existing invoices
- If the class has already been invoiced:
  
    - Regenerate the invoice to ensure you’re only charging for attended classes
- If the invoice has already been paid:
  
    - You can add a credit to be applied to the next invoice
    - For payments made via Stripe or GoCardless, refunds can be processed directly from those platforms

Keeping your student records accurate ensures smooth class and invoice management. After detaching a student, always double-check their invoices to reflect any necessary adjustments. If a refund or credit is needed, take the appropriate steps to update their account. This helps maintain transparency and ensures families are billed correctly.
