Groupon
Redeam's Groupon Channel Gateway allows operators connected through Redeam to sell over Groupon.
Data Mapping Requirements
Below are specific requirements that must be met by any suppliers, products, rates & prices bound to Groupon.
Single-Rate Bookings
The Groupon gateway only supports a single rate per-booking request. If there are multiple age bands supported by a product (for example, Adult, Child, Senior, etc.) these must be expressed under a single rate - otherwise, they will not be bookable in a single Groupon transaction.
Example of a recommended Groupon product schema:
There is a single rate, with multiple traveler types underneath as separate prices.
- Whale Watching (supplier) ->
- Adventure Tour (product) ->
- 1-Hour Tour (rate) ->
- Adult (price)
- Child (price)
Example of an unrecommended Groupon product schema:
There are multiple rates, each representing a different traveler type.
- Whale Watching (supplier) ->
- Adventure Tour (product) ->
- Adult (rate) ->
- 1-Hour Adult Tour (price)
- Child (rate) ->
- 1-Hour Child Tour (price)
Unique Rate Names
Rate names (rate.name ) must be unique within their parent product. This constraint applies even if the rates are not valid at the same time.
Rate Validity Range
All rates bound to Groupon must have a valid.from and valid.until value set.
Rate Timezone
The rate.hours[].timezone property must be set, and contain a value matching the attraction's local timezone.
