Sharing essential product information with your customers
Clear and timely provided product information helps build trust, avoid confusion, and reduce customer support requests. Whether it's setting expectations before checkout or showing exactly what was booked, the Tiqets API makes it easy to guide your users smoothly through their journey.
This guide walks you through the key API endpoints and shows you—step by step—how to surface relevant details before and after purchase.
Show important information before the Booking
Before the customer reaches the payment screen, it's important to display clear information about what’s included in the ticket, who qualifies for discounts or not, or essential information to be aware of before the booking.
Use the following endpoint:
GET /products/{product_id}/checkout_information
{
"success": true,
"api_version": {
"major": 2,
"minor": 5,
"patch": "v250422-1134.1"
},
"additional_information": {
"must_know": "* You may expect some waiting lines before the security check",

Without it, access to the museum will be refused",

}What to include in your UI Here are the fields to extract and display:
must_know – Entry requirements that apply to all visitors.
pre_purchase – Eligibility notes (e.g., age limits, ID requirements).
usage – Instructions on how to access the venue.
post_purchase – Details users need immediately after completing their booking.
good_to_know – Bonus tips or extras worth mentioning.
included / excluded – What the ticket covers, and what it doesn’t.
Presenting this information clearly from product to checkout reduces uncertainty and builds confidence.
Here is an example for one of the Sagrada Família products and how we choose to emphasise the important information at the participant selection stage.
Confirm what was booked
Once the purchase is complete, your user expects a clear summary of what they have just bought. That’s where the ticket confirmation endpoint comes in.
Use the following endpoint:
GET /orders/{order_reference_id}/tickets
This endpoint returns a snapshot of the exact ticket and its conditions at the time of booking.
What to include in your UI
how_to_use_info – How to present the ticket (e.g., show it on a phone).
post_purchase_info – Tips on reaching the venue or using the ticket.
must_know, pre_purchase, good_to_know – Re-display key rules and helpful tips.
included / excluded – Recap of what’s included in the ticket.
starting_point_address / coordinates – If there is a meeting point.
tickets_pdf_url – Provide access to the PDF version of the ticket.
It is strictly forbidden to alter or modify the provided PDF tickets in any way. The tickets are checked by staff at the entrance or starting point of the experience. If prohibited alterations are suspected, the customer may be denied access to the experience without entitlement to any compensation.
Why this matters
Always display the ticket information from the /orders/.../tickets endpoint after the purchase, even if you have already shown the checkout_information beforehand. The information may differ depending on the ticket actually selected. (see Maximising availability using Multi-sourcing)
