Not sure about better way but will this also not work? I just removed
the second clause.

#+BEGIN_SRC sql
with data as (
    delete from orders
        where customer_id = <customer id>
    and date = '2020-10-05' returning price
)
update paymentdetail
set temp_credit = temp_credit + (select sum(price) from data)
where customer_id = <customer id>
#+END_SRC
