Travel CUTS - Ecommerce (Vacation Packages)

These are images the pages as they appeared in July of 2004, when Jason Wilson was still the ecommerce developer for them.

Each step on the first page sends requests to a company called Comnet, who in return sends XML responses to populate the next step. All of this information is cached on the Comnet servers.

Then this list is sent by XML response of which a send through an XSLT template to display.

Then the user gets a chance to choose how many passengers there are and what room type they'd like. It then sends an availability check to Comnet, which in turn checks the actual supplier and returns the current price and availability. The user then goes through the same Customer Information steps as the Touring Europe application. Payment is sent through the Comnet system and is registerred into our account with them.

I also created an application for the Travel CUTS agents to use that returns net and gross amounts from Comnet and I used a tree format for destination selection to save space. The agent then checks for availability as above and then can either mark up from the net price or mark down from the gross price. And the customer form is similar, and two receipts are returned; one for the agent's records and one for the customer.
