• Production API

Ask the card rail to charge an OTA virtual card for what its booking owes — the channel’s card, charged once the channel’s activation date has come at the house (activation_at). The standing automation virtual_card_charge_on_activation applies it; the desk may too, and may ask again after a refusal. The amount is what the booking owes (expected_total less deposit_paid_amount), never more than the card was funded with (funded_amount), and the funded amount alone when the booking froze no total. Refused for anything but an active virtual card, or before its activation instant. A card already requested or charged changes nothing, so a sweep that fires twice asks once. When there is nothing to charge — the booking was cancelled, nothing says what it owes, or it owes nothing — the card records refused with the reason instead. Emits payment_card.activation_charge_requested.recorded (the card rail charges it off-session) or payment_card.activation_charge_refused.recorded.

Effects: modify hospitality.payment_card.

Request Body^required

Media typeapplication/json

object

branch

Apply against an open branch’s overlay view instead of the canonical (main) plane. The action’s writes land in the branch’s copy-on-first-write overlay, its events in the branch’s own stream, and the invocation is journaled for merge-by-replay. Branch writes are action-only, so this is the write-side entry point to a branch (POST /v1/branches forks one).

string format: uuid

params

required

object

return_modified

When true, the response carries modified_objects and modified_links projections — the engine reads the event log inside the same transaction so the projection observes the handler’s own writes.

boolean

target

required

object

id

required

string format: uuid

object_type

required

Allowed value: hospitality.payment_card

Responses

200

Action applied. modified_objects and modified_links populated when return_modified: true was supplied.

Media typeapplication/json

ApplyActionResponse

Envelope returned by the Aerandil action engine. correlation_id ties every event emitted by this invocation; modified_objects and modified_links project the events the handler emitted (per the action’s declared effects); warnings carries any non-blocking soft-validator observations.

object

correlation_id

required

Per-invocation correlation id; matches events.correlation_id for every event this action appended.

string format: uuid

modified_links

required

Links established or removed by this invocation. Empty when the caller did not request return_modified.

Array<object>

object

from_id

required

string format: uuid

from_type

required

string

kind

required

Allowed values: linked unlinked properties_updated end_dated

link_type

required

string

to_id

required

string format: uuid

to_type

required

string

modified_objects

required

Objects created, modified, or soft-deleted by this invocation. Empty when the caller did not request return_modified.

Array<object>

string format: uuid

kind

required

Allowed values: modified

object_type

required

Allowed values: hospitality.payment_card

warnings

Non-blocking soft-validator observations emitted during this invocation (e.g. comp-authority over-limit, recipe pour-cost over sell-price). Absent when no warnings were emitted.

Array<object>

object

message

required

Human-readable summary, suitable for logging or operator-UI surfacing.

string

object_type

required

Object type the warning was raised against.

string

property

Property the warning anchors to, when a single field is the locus. Absent for multi-field rules.

string

rule

required

Stable kebab-case rule identifier (e.g. comp-authority-over-limit).

string

Example

{
  "modified_links": [
    {
      "kind": "linked"
    }
  ],
  "modified_objects": [
    {
      "kind": "modified",
      "object_type": "hospitality.payment_card"
    }
  ]
}

Conflict — concurrent modification or unique constraint violation.

Validation error — parameter validation or business-rule violation.
