"Integrate Flights & Hotels API into Existing WordPress (with Pre‑Cart Add‑Ons)
Description

We are a licensed UK & Icelandic travel company (ATOL, ABTOT, Icelandic Tourism Board) and already have a WordPress + WooCommerce site: www.tourismiceland.co.uk.
We need an experienced travel tech developer to connect flight & hotel APIs (focus on low‑fare airlines to/from Iceland) and implement pre‑cart add‑ons (order bumps/upsells) before checkout.

Scope of Work
1. API Acquisition & Setup
• Recommend and help obtain API access (e.g., Travelfusion/Traveltek/Amadeus for flights; Ratehawk/Hotelbeds, etc. for hotels).
• Prioritise low upfront cost / pay‑per‑booking models.
• Configure credentials, environments, and rate/availability endpoints.
2. WordPress/WooCommerce Integration (No platform change)
• Flight search: origin/destination filters focused on Iceland routes, date range, pax, fare types.
• Hotel search: availability, images, amenities, pricing, mapping to Iceland destinations.
• Combine flights + hotels into a single package flow.
• Store bookings in WooCommerce orders with clear line items and supplier references.
3. Pre‑Cart Add‑Ons (Before Cart Page)
• Add our upsells/order bumps on the search results or product selection step and on a dedicated pre‑cart page (before the standard cart/checkout).
• Examples: airport transfers, tours (ice caves, whale watching), baggage, seat selection, priority boarding, insurance.
• One‑click add/remove, price recalculation, and validation with live API fares.
4. Payments, Compliance & Tracking
• Stripe / WooCommerce Payments integration, taxes & currency handling.
• PCI/DSS‑aware flow; GDPR‑compliant data handling.
• GA4 + Meta Pixel events for search, view_content, add_to_cart, begin_checkout, purchase (including add‑on attribution).
5. Performance & UX
• Fast, non‑blocking UI; caching where permitted by supplier T&Cs.
• Clear error handling, fare changes, and re‑price checks before payment.
• Mobile‑first responsive layout.
6. Handover
• Admin controls to enable/disable add‑ons and set prices/commissions.
• Technical docs, test cases, and short training video or call.

Must‑Haves
• Stay on our existing WordPress site. No platform or theme change.
• Demonstrable travel API experience (links or screenshots).
• Clean code (child theme or custom plugin), security best practices.

Deliverables / Acceptance
• Live flight + hotel search & booking on www.tourismiceland.co.uk.
• Working pre‑cart add‑ons with one‑click upsell and correct pricing in order review.
• Successful end‑to‑end bookings in sandbox and production with logs.
• Documentation + brief training.

Nice to Have
• Support for coupons, promo codes, and OTA‑style fee lines.
• Multi‑currency and multi‑language readiness." (client-provided description)
