Amendments

What Are Amendments and How Can I Use Them?​

Amendments allow you to modify various aspects of an existing booking. Currently, the following five amendment operations are available:

  • amendDates: Modify the check-in and/or check-out dates of a booking.
  • amendBoard: Change the meal plan (board) associated with a booking.
  • amendRemarks: Add special requests (remarks) to a booking.
  • amendPaxes: Modify the number or details of guests in a booking.
  • amendRooms: Nodify your booking's rooms.

Each amendment type is performed in two steps: Query and Mutation.

Step 1: Amendment Query (Simulation)​

The Query simulates the amendment by making a request to the Seller to obtain updated pricing and any applicable modification fees. This step is similar to the Quote method in the booking flow. The response includes an amendmentID token, which must be used in the Mutation step. This ID should not be interpreted in any case by the Partner.

How to Run an Amendment Query?​

You can initiate an amendment query by providing one of the following:

  • Complete booking details (e.g., references, dates, hotel code).
  • The bookingID received in the Book response (reservation response).

Step 2: Amendment Mutation (Commitment)​

The Mutation step finalizes the amendment by confirming the changes in the Seller’s system. This requires the amendmentID obtained in the Query response.

How to Run an Amendment Mutation?​

To confirm the amendment, send the amendmentID received in the previous query response.

How Can I Check If a Seller Supports Amendments?​

To determine whether a Seller supports amendments and which modifications are allowed, review their Metadata. This metadata provides insights into the Seller’s capabilities and any restrictions related to amendments.
