A customer is the representation of a hotelkit system that activated the API. In a chain solution the default implementation is that every business is its own customer and additional a customer for the administration.
Every customer is defined by a unique customer-key. Whenever there is a request for the customer is to be made, this customer-key must be set as Header field.
Process of new Customer
The process of activating the API for a business is the following:
The customer calls Customer Success Team (hotelkit AP) for activating the API.
hotelkit AP activates API
hotelkitAP or business provides the generated customer-key to the partner.
As soon as the partner knows the customer-key the API is ready to go.
If the business calls the partner for activating the API the partner has to inform the hotelkit AP for starting the process.
This process may be subject to change in the future.
