Create invoice 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 →Create invoice
WriteCreate a new invoice attached to an existing order, without processing any payment.
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 creates a new LatePoint invoice tied to the order_id you provide. You may optionally set the charge amount, a payment_portion label, a due date, and an initial status; any field left out is simply not set on the new invoice. It only creates the invoice record — it does not charge a payment gateway. If saving fails, the underlying validation errors are returned; otherwise the newly created invoice is returned.
