What is it?
This method is used to issue tickets.
Why use it?
Use this method to finalize contracts between customers and rail vendors.
How it works
-
Use this endpoint to send a request to the Rail vendor system.
-
The order's status is changed to confirmed, and tickets are generated with a status of "issued".
Notes
- Travel documents are available for each ticket. In order to receive them call the
PUT /v2/rail/orders/{marketingCarrierCode}/{id}/travelDocuments
method. - The payment itself is not part of this method. It is a separate process from the CSR API.
- Order Cancel is no longer available. Instead, the Void method can be called to cancel tickets if the Rail vendor's business rules enable it.
