Rate Lock and Confirm

The LOCK_CONFIRM action enables Pricing Engine integrations to both initiate and confirm a rate lock request in a single operation.

To implement the LOCK_CONFIRM action, the integration needs to send additional buySide information in addition to the core LOCK result information described in the previous section. The buySide object includes some of the same fields as delivered in a standard lock request operation - integrations have the option to either echo back those same lock request fields, or adjust their values as appropriate while confirming the rate lock. In addition, the action also supports delivering other fields into the lock request confirmation, such as profitability information in the form of a ProfitMargin adjustment, to fully specify the rate lock parameters.

Below you will find the JSON schema definition for the details of a lock and confirm transaction result, followed by a sample transaction result payload. The LOCK_CONFIRM action does not support sending sell-side and comparison information.
