Short answer

How can I refund or void transactions using my AI?

Tell your AI client which transaction to target and what action to take. Your agent will execute the reversal or cancellation and confirm the result. You'll see exactly how the payment status changes.

The outcomes

What happens after you command your AI.

The AI processes your request and updates your payment records immediately.

SUCCESS

Reversed payments

The AI executes the reversal and confirms the status. You get a direct notification that the funds are being returned.

CANCELLED

Voided transactions

Unsettled funds are stopped before they clear. Your agent confirms the void is complete so you don't have to check the portal.

PENDING

Human review needed

If a transaction ID is missing or invalid, the AI stops and asks you for the correct details. You provide the info to finish the task.

LOGGED

Action history

Every reversal or void is tracked. You can ask your agent to list recent actions to verify your work.

The workflow

What your AI does when a reversal is requested.

Your agent translates your natural language into specific API calls to Authorize.net.

  1. Identify the transaction

    The AI looks for the specific transaction ID you mentioned in your chat to ensure it targets the right payment.

  3. Void unsettled funds

    If the transaction hasn't settled yet, the AI cancels it to prevent the charge from completing.

  4. Confirm completion
