Flows
A Flow is a CarTrawler booking experience with a specific business objective. The SDK hosts CarTrawler’s web booking experience inside your app and handles initialisation, partner configuration, presentation and the callbacks back to your app.
There are two business flows supported by the SDK: Standalone and In Path with Grid View.
Standalone
Allows the user to reserve a car rental product independently of a flight. The SDK presents the full CarTrawler web booking flow (search, vehicle selection, extras, insurance, payment and confirmation) and returns the reservation details to your app.
Get started: iOS · Android
In Path with Grid View
Allows the user to reserve a car rental product to accompany their flight. This product forms part of the user’s flight itinerary. A Grid View (SmartBlock) of recommended vehicles is embedded in your flow; when the user selects a vehicle, the SDK returns the booking payload so you can complete payment in your own basket.
Get started: iOS · Android
The In Path rental solution requires additional backend development effort and coordination between you and CarTrawler.
