As a distribution partner, you are responsible for after-sales services. The end client can only have a ticket refunded through you. Standard price tickets can be refunded up to the time of travel via SBB Swiss Mobility API. If a refund can be granted after the time of travel, the request is to be submitted via an online form. As a partner, the refund amounts will be credited to you in the next invoice. 

Technically, there is no limit. However, we recommend limiting the number of tickets to five people. The request may time result in a time out in cases of more than five people, especially if different types of tickets are required (children, Half Fare, no discount etc.). This means that the system will not generate an offer.

There are new releases every three weeks.
