Checklist for testing extra services sales on the OTA website
In the test environment, the property ID 500803 (Exely Connect for Certification) has different early extra services configured to set up and test the integration.
1. When searching for extra services within one property, full information must be displayed: the service name, price, available quantity and images (if any).
2. During the search, it must be ensured that there are no duplicate extra services. In the test environment of the test property, all service options are unique.
3. It is required to display information about services available for purchase for extra cost. This should be done according to the value of the calculationMethod parameter in the /v1/properties/{propertyId}/services API method response.
To check if the services are output correctly in the API, send a request with a search for services for two adults, one child of 5 years old and one child of 10 years old.
Request:
calculationMethod = PerPerson — a service is provided per guest at the same price for all guests.
API response | Possible display of API response in a channel |
 |  |
calculationMethod = PerPersonByAge — a service is provided per guest at different prices, depending on the age of the guests. For details, refer to the article: “How to set different prices for services for adults and children”.
API response | Possible display of API response in a channel |
 | The service is available for adults and children at different prices:  |
 | The service is available for adults only:  |
 | The service is available only for children of from 0 to 6 years old:  |
 | The service is available for children only:  |

4. It should be possible to search for a limited number of services, not for all guests included in the booking. This applies to PerPerson, PerPersonByAge and PerUse services. In the service search request (/v1/properties/{propertyId}/services), you can change the number and age of guests (placements, guestCount) to adjust the number and price of services available for booking.
5. When booking services with PerUse charge type in a larger quantity than specified in the quantity parameter, it is required to specify the desired number of services in the verify method, but not exceeding maxQuantity. Next, you need to display the updated cost of accommodation and services for the guest before confirming the booking.
6. The /bookings/verify method must be called before the payment step. In response to this request, the checksum value will change because paid extra services are included in the booking. After the payment is made, the booking creation method must be called, where it is checked if the checksum is correct
7. Information on the updated booking price must be shown to the guest on the sales channel side before the payment step, if services for extra cost have been added to the booking.
8. It must be possible to cancel a booking. Cancellation activates the calculate-cancellation-penalty method, which correctly displays the cancellation conditions for the current date, including cost of the extra services included in the prepayment.
9. The order of photos of extra services must strictly follow the sequence specified in API. Content and images of these services are stored on the sales channel side.
10. Content API methods are not used during the price search and booking process, and images are not downloaded from Exely.
11. It is required to ensure that the data specified when forming a request to create a booking is correctly passed via API.
