confirmBooking( )

Updates the booking status to CONFIRMED and updates the relevant session's participants.approvalStatus to APPROVED without checking whether the relevant slot or schedule is still available.

eCommerce checkout restriction

Call this method only when using a custom checkout page. Don't call it when using a Wix eCommerce checkout (SDK | REST). In such cases, Wix automatically updates the booking status based on the paymentStatus of the corresponding Wix eCommerce order (SDK | REST).

When to call Confirm Or Decline Booking instead

Confirm Booking doesn't check whether a slot or schedule is still available. For these checks you can call Confirm or Decline Booking (SDK | REST).

Original status validation

You can only confirm bookings with a status of PENDING, CREATED, or WAITING_LIST.

Double bookings

Confirm Booking doesn't check whether a slot or schedule is still available. You can specify

to forcefully set the booking's doubleBooked flag to true, regardless of a potential double booking conflict. You must call with Manage Bookings permissions to do so. For the default flow control settings {"checkAvailabilityValidation": false}, the specified doubleBooked value is ignored.

Payment status

Also updates the booking's paymentStatus, if you specify a new payment status.

Notify customers

You can specify a participantNotification.message for the customer. To send the message, you must also specify participantNotification.notifyParticipants as true.
