Booking process overview
The Booking endpoint is used to confirm the purchase of the insurance offering.
If a customer has chosen to purchase the insurance product(s) offered in the previous Quote step the customer must complete the checkout process with payment being successfully collected before proceeding with the following steps to confirm and distribute the policy.
After customers complete the booking process and insurance premiums are collected by the partner a request to the booking endpoint must be made.
Validations:
1. Given the initial status after the Quote Request is RECEIVED , when a booking request is submitted, the expected status returned in response payload after a successful booking request is CONFIRMED.
2. The price field should also be validated, to confirm the final price matches the quote stage price.
3. The presence of an "errors" object in response payload indicates an important logic error in booking, that should be noted.
A CONFIRMED INS is considered booked, sold, provisioned, and will result in a policy confirmation being submitted to the user.
