Refund transaction 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 →Refund transaction
DestructiveMark a payment transaction as refunded.
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 sets the status of a single LatePoint transaction, identified by ID, to refunded and saves the record. It does not process an actual refund through the payment gateway — it only updates LatePoint's record of the transaction's status. If no transaction exists with that ID, it returns a not-found error; if saving fails it returns the underlying errors. On success it returns the updated transaction.
