Plan your platform integration

This guide is for a platform exploring distribution with LivingSocial. Building your own site or app? Start with How it works.

Discuss the placement, catalog and purchase flow with the team before planning your integration. Sources, markets and commercial terms are agreed separately.

What to agree

• Where experiences appear in your customer journey.
• Which sources and markets are available for your platform.
• The applicable OCTO version, extensions and offer coverage.
• Supported checkout branding, attribution and customer support.

The public Partner API guide describes the self-service integration available today: US offers and payment on Groupon. A purchase does not reserve a date or time. Time-slot offers are coming soon. Do not assume a capability outside that guide is enabled for your platform before onboarding confirms it.

Before launch

Validate checkout, attribution and customer support for the agreed integration. Hosted checkout branding does not change who takes payment or handles support. Measure completed purchases and net commission after refunds.
