# revokedSeatQuantity The number of seats in a transaction that a seat-based refund revoked. ``` int32 revokedSeatQuantity ``` ## Discussion A seat-based refund revokes some of the seats in a subscription that a customer buys as a multiseat purchase, without revoking the transaction. The transaction remains valid for its remaining seats. When a seat-based refund applies to a transaction, the App Store sends a `REFUND` [`notificationType`](/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/notificationType) with a [`subtype`](/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/subtype) of `SEATS`. Only the group purchaser’s transaction contains `revokedSeatQuantity`. Don’t revoke the group purchaser’s access because of this value. Revoke it only when every transaction in the period contains revocation fields, such as [`revocationDate`](/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/revocationDate). - For a subscription with an [`invitationManagement`](/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/invitationManagement) value of `APPLE`, you don’t need to act on this value; the App Store reduces the number of seats the group purchaser can assign. - For a subscription with a value of `DEVELOPER`, use this value to update your record of the number of seats, or call the endpoint to get the current `totalSeatCount`. The [`TransactionMultiSeatInfo`](/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/TransactionMultiSeatInfo) object contains this value when a seat-based refund applies to the transaction. If a refund covers seats from more than one transaction in the period, each of those transactions reports its own `revokedSeatQuantity`, and you receive a notification for each one. If every seat in the transaction is revoked, the transaction contains revocation fields, such as [`revocationDate`](/documentation/AppStoreServerNotifications/revocationDate), instead of `revokedSeatQuantity`. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
