To use this capability add
octo/pickups
to your Octo-Capabilities
header.Hotel pickup is sometimes offered by products where the guest can opt to be picked up from a different location instead of where the general meeting point is.

pickupRequired
and pickupPoints
to each product. A sample of just these changes are:[

The only difference from the pickup list provided on the product endpoint is the addition of
localDateTime
which is the pickup time for that pickup in the local time zone.If you're using the
octo/pricing
capability you should add pickupRequested=true
to any pricing request and it will quote you the pricing with pickup. Setting it to false
will show you the pricing without.post

Booking Reservation
You can also add these parameters to the booking confirmation request if you collect this data at a later stage.
An example request body will be like:
{
"pickupRequested": true,
"pickupPointId": "90e64d28-902f-4630-9932-5f0fb46992aa"
}
Note if you do not have the ability to list the available pickup points, but you do know the hotel which the customer is staying and want to request pickup you can make the request with the
pickupHotel
field instead:{
"pickupRequested": true,
"pickupHotel": "Americania Hotel - 121 7th St, San Francisco, US",
"pickupHotelRoom": "101"
}
The
pickupHotelRoom
field is optional, but gives the guest the ability to specify their hotel room in case they are late and can be contacted.Ventrata will then attempt to geolocate that address (so please try and make it as accurate as possible) and will match it to the nearest possible pickup location.
The response will be the booking object with two extra fields:
pickupRequested
and pickupPoint
. The result looks like this:{
//..rest of the booking object
"pickupRequested": true,
"pickupPointId": "90e64d28-902f-4630-9932-5f0fb46992aa",
