# 1. Hotel search (homepage)

## Purpose

Enter destination, dates, occupancy from the public site.

## Who

Traveler. No WordPress role.

## Where

https://alyatrip.com/ — tab **Hôtels**. Also `/hotels/` shortcode `[alya_hotel_search]`.

## Screenshot

![Homepage hotel tab](../screenshots/live/01-homepage-02-hotel-tab.png)

## Fields / buttons (live)

Destination autocomplete, Arrivée, Départ, occupation, **Rechercher des hôtels**.

## Workflow

1. Open homepage.  
2. Select **Hôtels**.  
3. Type destination (live: `Paris` → **Paris — France**).  
4. Dates live: 2026-09-20 → 2026-09-22, 2 adults.  
5. Search.

## API

`GET /wp-json/alya/v1/places` then `place-details`. Place id observed: `ChIJD7fiBh9u5kcRYJSMaMOCCwQ`.

## Limitations

Chatbot “concierge” is LiteAPI widget — booking on that widget is **not** the Alya checkout unless separately bridged. `UNKNOWN` if bridged.

# 2–3. Search parameters and results

## Screenshot

![Hotel results](../screenshots/live/02-hotels-01-search-page.png)

## Result (live)

**30 hôtel(s) trouvés.** Buttons: Choisir, Favori, Comparer, Carte. Copy: “Prix = tarif (net + marge agence), sans 2ᵉ markup.”

## API

`GET /wp-json/alya/v1/search` (nonce + 40/600s). External: LiteAPI hotels search.

## Data

Favori / Comparer: **localStorage** (`alya-frontend.js`), not LiteAPI guest CRM.

## Filters

Map toggle present. Full filter panel: **NOT fully exercised** this pass. `PARTIAL`

---

# 4–6. Hotel fiche, rates, selection

## Where

https://alyatrip.com/hotel-contract-system/?hotel_id=lp1ea94  
Shortcode `[alya_hotel_details]` / rates.

## Screenshot

![Hotel fiche](../screenshots/live/03-hotel-01-details.png)

## Visible

B&B HOTEL Paris 17 Batignolles. Gallery, amenities, Nuitee reviews. **6 offre(s)**. **Réserver**. Some room types: “Aucune offre pour ces dates.”

## API

`GET /alya/v1/hotel-details`, `POST /alya/v1/rates` (20/600s). Margin injected server-side (`PricingEngine`).

## Permissions

Public nonce. API key never in the browser.

---

# 7–9. Checkout, guest information, prebook

## Where

https://alyatrip.com/checkout-hotel/ — `[alya_hotel_checkout]`

## Screenshot — form

![Checkout form](../screenshots/live/04-checkout-01-hotel-form.png)

Fields: titulaire prénom/nom/email/téléphone; voyageur chambre 1; Demandes; **Vérifier le tarif**.  
Copy: `@example.com` refused by Stripe; cards not stored; sandbox 4242; payment by `transactionId`.

## Screenshot — prebook READY

![Prebook payment](../screenshots/live/04-checkout-02-prebook-pay.png)

## Result (live)

- Stay: 20–22 sept. 2026, 2 nights, 2 adults  
- Offer: twin room  
- **Tarif 213.67 EUR**  
- NON REMBOURSABLE  
- Widget: Pay / Google Pay READY  

**Prebook confirmed.**  
**Payment interface confirmed.**  
**Payment submission not performed.**

## API

`POST /alya/v1/prebook` → SUCCESS this pass. External: LiteAPI `POST /rates/prebook` with `usePaymentSdk`.

## Database

Prebook may create a local CPT/index row **without** `bookingId`. Dashboard labelled some rows **PREBOOK**. A prebook is **not** a confirmed reservation.

---

# 10–11. Payment UI and payment preparation

`VERIFIED BOTH` (code + live widget)

Traveler card → Stripe Payment SDK (`secretKey` from LiteAPI prebook) → `transactionId` → WP `POST /alya/v1/book`.

WooCommerce is **not** this checkout. See [woocommerce.md](../technical/woocommerce.md).

Google Pay was **visible**. Whether Google Pay completes on this host: **NOT VERIFIED IN THIS AUDIT** (Pay not clicked).

---

# 12–15. Booking, confirmation, bookingId, voucher

## Booking

`POST /alya/v1/book` (10/600s) → LiteAPI `POST /rates/book` `payment.method=TRANSACTION_ID`.

**bookingId not generated in this audit.**  
`SCREENSHOT REQUIRED` for confirmation page.

Expected page (code/pages installer): `[alya_hotel_confirmation]` typically `/resa-confirmation/`.

## Voucher

`[alya_hotel_voucher]` / Documents module. PDF if Dompdf present. **Voucher not generated in this audit.**  
QR: `NOT FOUND` in plugin.

---

# 16. Cancellation

Hotel cancel: `POST /alya/v1/cancel` — **staff** (`verify_cancel_permission` / `edit_alya_bookings`). Traveler hotel cancel: `NOT FOUND`.

`SCREENSHOT REQUIRED` for staff cancel UI.
