For third-party resellers booking tickets from an attraction's inventory in ACME, this guide is a summary of the endpoints needed to code to an external booking platform. Resellers can obtain real-time ticket inventory for events, hold tickets for up to 10 minutes, and complete checkout. All reseller orders should be associated with a unique Organization per ACME tenant, and the sales channel is "Reseller". Tickets are issued with ACME QR codes and the guest can go directly to the Access Control checkpoint upon arrival.

Ticket Details
In order to build a confirmation email, grab the ticket UUID from the Order Details endpoint and make sure to add the following metadata fields to build the QR code. This is important as it will allow ACME to recognize the ticket as our own for validations and have the event data show on the access control device upon scan.
