Adds the ability to use offer codes and have combination discounts
Last updated
To use this capability add octo/offers to your Octo-Capabilities header.
The offers capability depends on octo/pricing and if you want to make use of combination discounts you will also need octo/cart.
The offers capability gives the ability for promotion codes to be applied to the booking. It also provides "comparisons" which are alternative products the guest can upgrade to, and "combinations" which are related products the the customer can purchase at a discount.
POST https://api.ventrata.com/octo/availability
It's possible for the supplier to create public offers which will apply by default to new bookings if they qualify the offer's criteria. These will be returned on the availability check response.

The availability response will have a new key offers added to each availability object which will include an array of available offers. For example:
We will automatically apply the first available offer when requesting availability and when making a booking, but you're able to pick a different offer from the list by using the offers[].code value in offerCode parameter either when making a booking or when querying availability. The offer fields are described below:
PATCH https://api.ventrata.com/octo/bookings/:uuid
This is the booking update endpoint, except we provide the offerCode.
The only new additions to the booking object are detailed below:
The value of original will be the price before the discount was applied. The value of offerCode will be the code used and offerTitle will be the name of the offer if you want to display it somewhere.
GET https://api.ventrata.com/octo/bookings/:uuid
Comparisons are alternative products the customer may want to upgrade their booking to.
This capability will add the following fields to the booking object:
These are meant to be an array of comparable products that you can upgrade the booking too. The pricing object on the comparison is the cost of the equivalent booking if it were upgraded.
To upgrade the booking you simply perform a booking update request:
GET https://api.ventrata.com/octo/orders/:orderId
Combinations are related products that the customer may be interested in. They are often offered with a discount if purchased together. This endpoint is only available with the octo/cart capability.
The main addition here from the order object is the offerCombinations field which looks like this:
The array is a list of all the availability combinations. To add one of the combination options to cart you first have to query the availability

netDiscount
Will this offer also discount your net rate and if so by how much, possible values are:
NONE The net rate will stay the same, so you will pay for the discount out of your commission. It only affects the retail rate.
FULL The offer discount will be deducted from the net rate and you'll receive your full commission as if you had sold the booking at full price.
SPLIT The discount amount will be split 50/50 between you and the supplier. If the discount amount was $10 then the net rate will be reduced by $5.
PRO_RATA The discount amount will be split proportionally between you and the supplier. So if the booking retail was $50, net rate was $40 and discount was $5, then the net rate would be reduced by $4.
