Register a return
In Engage, a return is viewed as just another transaction, but with a different transactional status. There is no direct connection between a purchase and a return that comes after, it’s considered a new transaction and handled accordingly.
Some important points to remember:
The quantity field needs to be negative, reflecting the number of returned items.
The price on a return should be sent as a positive value of type "integer"
The line item type needs to have the value “RETURN”
In the same way as for a purchase, the payload is sent to the following endpoint:
POST /api/v2/receipts
Example payload
This example transaction is a return for a customer with contact type “Member”. Note that quantity is negative, the price is positive and the line item type is “RETURN”.
