Returns
Returns
Using the following steps you will be able to handle returning a sale via the API.
1. Initiating the return.
In order to initiate a return of a sale, you should make a PUT request to the /api/2.0/sales/:id/actions/return endpoint. The id here should be of an existing, closed sale.
For this example we're using the following URL:
https://<<domain_prefix>>.retail.lightspeed.app/api/2.0/sales/b8ca3a65-0183-11e4-fbb5-39f7fce5e39b/actions/return
Which gives us the following response:

The most important part of that response is the id of the highest-level object, in this case 06bf537b-c783-11e6-f6b9-7ea7909ffedd. This is an id of a new parked (status = SAVED) sale that was just created in the account.
2. Getting the data
Now, using the good, old /api/register_sales/:id endpoint you should GET all the data for that sale.
In our case, it will be a GET request to:
https://<<domain_prefix>>.retail.lightspeed.app/api/register_sales/06bf537b-c783-11e6-f6b9-7ea7909ffedd
Which gives us the following response:

3. Finalizing the return
If you look above you will notice 2 things about the return sale we've just created. Its status is SAVED and it has no payments on it. Changing those 2 things will be required to finalize the return.
We'll do that by POSTing a slightly modified payload from above back to the /api/register_sales endpoint. It's important to note that there is no id included in the URL for this request: The changes are:
https://<<domain_prefix>>.retail.lightspeed.app/api/register_sales
The changes are:
"status": "CLOSED",
and
"register_sale_payments": [{
"retailer_payment_type_id": "b1e1d70e-f019-11e3-a0f5-b8ca3a64f8f4",
"amount": -230
}]
The full payload will look like this:

4. Final notes
- By modifying the final payload, it is possible to only return certain products from a sale. If that is done, the "return" payment should be adjusted to just the value of the returned item.
- It is possible to create multiple returns against a single sale.
