Short answer

How can I use my AI to issue refunds?

You give your AI a payment ID, and it uses Blink Payment to find the transaction and trigger the refund. You'll see the specific outcomes of each transaction check below.

Refund outcomes

What happens after a refund request

The results of your request depend on the transaction status and the ID provided.

SUCCESS

Refund completed

The AI executes the return for the specific ID you provided. You get confirmation that the money is headed back to the customer.

DATA

Transaction details

The AI pulls the exact amount and customer info for a specific ID. You get the facts needed to verify the request.

ERROR

Failed attempts

If an ID is wrong or the amount is invalid, the AI tells you why it couldn't finish. You'll know if the issue is a typo or a system error.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If the AI can't find the payment or the refund exceeds limits, it stops. You'll need to step in and handle the transaction manually.

The workflow

What your AI does when a refund is requested.

The AI handles the searching and execution, leaving you to just provide the IDs.

  1. Locate the transaction

    The AI looks up the specific payment details using the ID you provided to ensure the data is correct.

    get_payment

  2. Verify the amount

    It checks the transaction history to confirm the payment exists and matches your request.

    get_payment

  3. Execute the return

    Once the details are confirmed, the AI sends the command to return the funds to the original payment method.

    refund_payment

  4. Confirm status

    The AI checks the result of the operation to tell you if the refund was successful or if it hit a snag.
