Short answer

How can I use my AI to refund transactions?

You tell your agent which transaction to target, and it uses the Clip API to locate the record and trigger a reversal. You can specify if the refund is for the full amount or just a portion. This process covers everything from finding the right ID to confirming the status.

Refund outcomes.

Where every refund lands.

The AI handles the technical execution of the refund process.

FULL

Complete reversals

The agent identifies the specific transaction and issues a full refund for the entire amount.

PARTIAL

Partial adjustments

You can instruct the agent to refund only a specific portion of a transaction instead of the whole thing.

STATUS

Check progress

The agent checks the current state of a refund or transaction to confirm it went through.

HUMAN

Manual review

If a transaction ID is missing or invalid, the agent will stop and ask you for the correct details.
