Promotions / Offers

Adds the ability to use offer codes and have combination discounts

To use this capability add ventrata/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 ventrata/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.

Get Available Offers

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:

[
  {
    //...rest of the availability object
    "offerCode": "promotion/983972a2-84e9-4506-8c84-fb2885f6375b",
    "offerTitle": "10% OFF",
    "offers": [
      {
        "code": "promotion/983972a2-84e9-4506-8c84-fb2885f6375b",
        "title": "10% OFF",
        "description": "Winter Special 10% off",
        "netDiscount": "COMMISSION",
        "restrictions": {
          "minUnits": 0,
          "maxUnits": null,
          "minTotal": 0,
          "maxTotal": null,
          "unitIds": [
            "adult",
            "youth",
            "child"
          ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
]

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:

Field

Description

code

The offer code

title

A description of how much the discount is for

description

A description of what this offer is for and how it can be used

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.
