Custom booking API integration for event ticketing

Brief

Build a custom Booking Boss API integration for an e-commerce site dealing with booking race track events around Australia.

Context

2018 was full of a lot of e-commerce, custom plugin, and API work. This particular project combined all 3 elements as I worked to integrate the Booking Boss API to a website that dealt with booking race track experiences across Australia.

The client was already using Booking Boss, so it made sense to also show availabilities and integrate with the API on their e-commerce platform which was being rebuilt at the time by Digital Thing.

Solution

I create a custom plugin to handle the integration between the API and the e-commerce site and this would generate calls that were triggered by orders on the e-commerce side.

This added two-way integration to the site as it then also allowed the e-commerce platform to pull information from the API such as voucher codes and schedules.
