The reseller system can also add these parameters to the booking confirmation request if you collect this data at a later stage.
Note if you do not have the ability to list the available pickup locations, 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.
The response will be the booking object with two extra fields: pickupRequested and pickupLocation. The result looks like this:
{
//..rest of the booking object
"pickupRequested": true,
"pickupLocationId": "90e64d28-902f-4630-9932-5f0fb46992aa",
