Order Attributes. Attributes Validation

The Order Attributes URL allows a service to request additional data when a subscription is ordered in ActivePlatform. The Attributes Validation URL is used to validate the specified values.

The general flow for the Order Attributes and Attributes Validation events includes the following steps:

A user orders a vendor's service via ActivePlatform.

As part of the provisioning process, ActivePlatform calls the Order Attributes URL of a microservice and sends information about the reseller and distributor attributes of the product.

POST /order/attributes

Body:

Name		Data type	Description
reseller		object	Information about the reseller who sold the subscription to a service plan of a product via ActivePlatform (see Viewing and updating reseller general information in the Operator Comtrol Panel guide)
	id	integer	The reseller ID
	name	string	The reseller name
	company_name	string	The company name
	first_address	string	Address line 1
	second_address	string	Address line 2
	city	string	City
	region	string	Region
	zip	string	Zip code
	country	string	Country code
	company_phone	string	The company's phone number in the international format
	company_email	string	The company's email address
	currency	string	The reseller currency code
	attributes	object	The list of the product attributes (key-value pairs) applied to the reseller (see Extending the reseller object and Product attributes): {reseller_attribute_key} — the reseller attribute key. {reseller_attribute_value} — the reseller attribute value (see Viewing and editing the reseller attributes in the Operator Comtrol Panel guide).
	core_attributes	object	The list of public custom attributes (key-value pairs) applied to the reseller in ActivePlatform (see in the Viewing the list of attributes Operator Comtrol Panel guide): {reseller_attribute_key} — the custom attribute key. {reseller_attribute_value} — the custom attribute value.
distributor		object	Information about the distributor (a reseller in ActivePlatform, see Viewing and updating reseller general information in the Operator Comtrol Panel guide) who received the published product (see Add distributors)
	id	integer	The distributor ID
	name	string	The distributor name
	region	string	The distributor location: region
	currency	string	The distributor currency code
	attributes	object	The list of the product attributes applied to a distributor (see Extending the distributor object and Product attributes): {distributor_attribute_key} — the distributor attribute key. {distributor_attribute_value} — the distributor attribute value (see Viewing and editing the distributor attributes in the Operator Comtrol Panel guide).
attributes_for		string	Defines the target Panel to display additional order attributes: client — the Customer Control Panel (`/plugin/vendor_service/client/attributes/new`). reseller — the Operator Control Panel (`/plugin/vendor_service/attributes/new`) or API (Get the list of the reseller's plan order attributes). Usually, all attributes are displayed for a manager and customer without any difference. However, in some cases, an attribute should be displayed for a manager only. For instance, a reseller's code for a discount (see Approval Code in Kaspersky (PAYG, Yearly). Service specifics in Services. Operator Guide), which does not have any sense for a customer, will not be included in the microservice response and thus not displayed in the Customer Control Panel if `attributes_for = client`.

The microservice returns to ActivePlatform a JSON with the information required for the subscription provisioning.

Response status: 200

Response body:

Name		Data type	Description
attributes		array of objects	Information about the order attributes required for the subscription provisioning
	label	string	Attribute name (see Label name in Product attributes)
	type	string	Attribute data type (see Type in Product attributes)
	key	string	Attribute key (see Key in Product attributes)
	description	string	Attribute description
	priority	string	Attribute priority (see Weight in Product attributes)
	default_value	string	Attribute default value
	hint	string	Text of a hint for an attribute to display to the user on a page with the order attributes
	values	array	List of valid values of an attribute, if applied

ActivePlatform displays to the user a page for specifying the values of the order attributes from the JSON.
The user specifies the values of the order attributes.

ActivePlatform sends a JSON to the microservice to the Attributes Validation URL to validate the specified values.

{order attributes}		string	The list order attributes (key-value pairs) for validation: {order_attribute_key} — the order attribute key. {order_attribute_value} — the order attribute value specified by a user.
attributes_for		string	Defines the origin Panel for the specified additional order attributes: client — the Customer Control Panel (`/plugin/vendor_service/client/attributes/new`). reseller — the Operator Control Panel (`/plugin/vendor_service/attributes/new`) or API (see Validate the reseller's Plan order attributes).

The vendor's service validates the data:

If the data is not valid, the microservice sends back a JSON with the error message.

Response status: 200

Response body:

Name			Data type	Description
{order_attribute_key}			string	The order attribute key of the attribute with a value caused an error
{error description}			array	The text of the order attribute error to display to the user on a page with the order attributes

If the data is valid:

1. The microservice attaches the provided data to the JSON to send it to the service provider and create a subscription (see Subscription Create).
2. The microservice responds to ActivePlatform with an empty JSON and status: 200.
