Delete order 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 →Delete order
DestructivePermanently delete an order and its associated invoices.
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 permanently deletes a single LatePoint order identified by its ID, along with its associated invoices. This action cannot be undone. If no order exists with the given ID, it returns a not-found error; if the delete operation itself fails it returns a delete-failed error. On success it confirms the deletion.
