DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS


Distribution Reservation Service API operations - postReservation, putReservation

Distribution Reservation Service API operations postReservation and putReservation now support the global distribution values guaranteeType and paymentType, in addition to the existing OPERA Cloud guaranteeCode and paymentMethod values. When a global guaranteeType or paymentType is provided, the service maps the value through Distribution Reservation Codes to the property-specific OPERA Cloud code. Where applicable, responses include the reverse-mapped global value.


IMPACT OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Existing integrations that use guaranteeCode and paymentMethod continue to work. Requests must include either guaranteeType or guaranteeCode, but not both. They must also include either paymentType or paymentMethod, but not both. Requests with conflicting guarantee or payment fields are rejected. Reservations fail with an invalid guarantee or invalid payment type error when the required mappings are missing.


STEPS TO ENABLE

Review the updated OHIP API specification. To use guaranteeType or paymentType, verify that the required Distribution Reservation Codes mappings exist for the property.
