Change invoice status is a WordPress ability from LatePoint — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Change invoice status
WriteUpdate the payment status of an existing invoice, such as marking it paid or partially paid.
Requires the LatePoint plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (the WordPress Abilities API is only available from 6.9 onward). All abilities also require the site's 'latepoint_abilities_api' master toggle to be enabled; write abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_edit' setting, and destructive abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_delete' setting. Each ability further requires the current user to hold the matching LatePoint capability (e.g. 'booking__view', 'customer__edit'), and some abilities also verify the user is allowed to act on that specific record.
What it does
This ability changes the status field on a single LatePoint invoice, identified by its ID, to whatever new status string you supply (for example paid, unpaid, or partially_paid). It loads the invoice, verifies it exists, applies the new status, and saves the record. If no invoice is found for the given ID it returns a not-found error, and if the save fails it returns the underlying validation errors. On success it returns the updated invoice.
