Article summary

PrePurchase Analytics:

Analytics can be triggered to your own analytics portal by using the callbacks provided by SDK. Every page view and didShare action will trigger a callback that you can use to record the analytics data.

Initialization Method:

// For attraction
TMPrePurchaseViewController.attractionDetailsViewController(attractionIdentifier: String,
marketDomain: MarketDomain = .US,
enclosingEnvironment: EnclosingEnvironment)

// For venue
TMPrePurchaseViewController.venueDetailsViewController(venueIdentifier: String,
marketDomain: MarketDomain = .US,
enclosingEnvironment: EnclosingEnvironment)



Initilization Example:

// For attraction
let viewController = TMPrePurchaseViewController.attractionDetailsViewController(attractionIdentifier: ”1646704”,
marketDomain: .US,
enclosingEnvironment:.tabBarController)

// For venue
let viewController = TMPrePurchaseViewController.venueDetailsViewController(venueIdentifier: ”82789”,
marketDomain: .US,
enclosingEnvironment:.tabBarController)

/// Setting analytics delegate
viewController.analyticsDelegate = self
/// Setting navigation delegate
viewController.navigationDelegate = self
/// Setting location delegate
viewController.locationDelegate = self


Analytics Delegate Methods:

public protocol TMPrePurchaseAnalyticsDelegate: AnyObject {
    
    // MARK: User Behavior Analytics
    
    /// user has just shared this ADP/VDP page
    func prePurchaseViewController(_ viewController: TMPrePurchaseViewController,
                                   didShare pageTitle: String,
                                   and pageURL: URL,
                                   to activityType: UIActivity.ActivityType)
    
    // MARK: UAL Webpage Analytics
    
    /// PrePurchase webview has fired a pageView
    func prePurchaseViewController(_ viewController: TMPrePurchaseViewController,
                                   didFirePageView pageView: UALPageView)
}


Navigation Delegate Methods:

public protocol TMPrePurchaseNavigationDelegate: AnyObject {
    
    /// PrePurchase needs to open an EDP (Event Details Page) to possibly make a purchase.
    ///
    /// - Note: Your code needs to initialize and display the Purchase SDK here
    ///
    /// - Parameters:
    ///   - eventIdentifier: Event identifier
    func prePurchaseViewController(_ viewController: TMPrePurchaseViewController,
                                   navigateToEventDetailsPageWithIdentifier eventIdentifier: String)
}


Location Delegate Methods:

public protocol TMPrePurchaseLocationDelegate: AnyObject {
    // Called when user uses web UI to change the current market
    func prePurchaseViewController(_ viewController: TMPrePurchaseViewController,
                                   didChangeLocationTo location: MarketLocation)
 
    // Called when the user taps Use Current Location.
    // The integrating app, once receiving this callback, is expected to ask for device location, possibly triggering permission prompt. 
   //Respond with either of the two public functions, depending on the outcome.
    func prePurchaseViewControllerDidRequestCurrentLocation(_ viewController: TMPrePurchaseViewController)
}



To get analytics from PrePurchase SDK create your own implementation of TMPrePurchaseWebAnalyticsListener and TMPrePurchaseUserAnalyticsListener, and add these to TMPrePurchaseFragmentFactory when initializing PrePurchase.

private val integratorFactory: TMPrePurchaseFragmentFactory by lazy {
    TMPrePurchaseFragmentFactory(
        tmPrePurchaseNavigationListener = NavigationListener(),
        tmPrePurchaseShareListener = ShareListener(),
        tmPrePurchaseUserAnalyticsListener = UserAnalyticsListener(),
        tmPrePurchaseWebAnalyticsListener = WebAnalyticsListener()
    )
}


TMPrePurchaseUserAnalyticsListener will notify the integrating app when an Event has been selected, and when Sharing has been selected on ADP/VDP

public interface TMPrePurchaseUserAnalyticsListener : Serializable {

    /**
     * This method is called when the user select an event available on ADP/VDP
     * @param event The event for which the ticket selection screen is opened
     */
    public fun onEDPSelectionStarted(event: DiscoveryEvent)

    /**
     * This method is called when the user selects a menu item
     * @param event The Artist/Venue on which the user selected the menu item
     * @param menuItemSelected The menu item that was selected
     */
    public fun onMenuItemSelected(
        event: DiscoveryAbstractEntity,
        menuItemSelected: TMPrePurchaseMenuItem
    )
}


TMPrePurchaseWebAnalyticsListener will notify the integrating app of the current state of the page being loaded, and the analytics for the current page being viewed.

public interface TMPrePurchaseWebAnalyticsListener : Serializable {

    /**
     * This method is called when a webpage is loading
     * @param url The url that is been loaded
     */
    public fun onLoadingPage(url: URL)

    /**
     * A warning that the page is taking so long to load, that the native loading was dismissed as a precaution.
     * @param url The url that is taking long to load
     * @param duration
     */
    public fun onPageLoadProgressBarTimeout(url: URL, duration: Long)

    /**
     * This method is called when an error occurs while loading the page
     * @param url The url at which the error occurred
     * @param error The exception
     */
    public fun errorOnPageLoad(url: URL, error: Exception)

    /**
     * This method is called when the page is loaded
     * @param url The url that has loaded
     * @param duration The time taken for loading the url
     */
    public fun onPageLoadComplete(url: URL, duration: Long)

    // TODO needs further clarification
    /**
     * This method is called when an error occurs on a webpage
     * @param url The url where the error occurred
     * @param error The exception
     */
    public fun errorOnWebpage(url: URL, error: Exception)

    /**
     * This method is called when a user visits a webpage
     * @param
     */
    public fun onWebpageReportedUALPageView(pageView: UALPageView)

    /**
     * This can be ignored
     * Only Available for Ticketmaster App
     */
    public fun onWebpageReportedUALUserAction(action: UALUserAction)
}


TMPrePurchaseNavigationListener will notify the integrating app of the desired Navigation on ADP/VDP

public interface TMPrePurchaseNavigationListener : Serializable {
    /**
     *User has selected an Event from either ADP/VDP
     * @param event selected event for current attraction/venue
     * @param abstractEntity current attraction/venue
     */
    public fun openEventDetailsPage(abstractEntity: DiscoveryAbstractEntity?, event: DiscoveryEvent)

    /*
    * Current URL is not supported
    * Integrating app decides how to proceed
    */
    public fun openURLNotSupported(url: String)

    /*
    * Toolbar Action Icon Pressed
    * Integrating app decides how to proceed
    * Ex: Pop back-stack or replace current fragment 
    */
    public fun onHamburgerMenuPressed()

    /*
    * Current Location Requested by user
    * Obtain necessary permissions
    * return location as string
    */
    public fun onDidRequestCurrentLocation(
        globalMarketDomain: TMMarketDomain?,
        completion: (String) -> Unit
    )

    /*
     * Current Location Updated by user
     */
    public fun onDidUpdateCurrentLocation(
        globalMarketDomain: TMMarketDomain?,
        location: Location
    )
}


TMPrePurchaseSharingListener will share the displayed attraction/venue with your customized message.

public interface TMPrePurchaseSharingListener : Serializable {

    /**
     * Set a customized sharing message based on the Artist or Venue being shared.
     * @param abstractEntity The Artist or Venue being shared
     * @return returns a customized sharing message set by integrating 
     *  app
     */
    public fun getShareTextForArtistOrVenue(abstractEntity: DiscoveryAbstractEntity): String
}

Purchase Analytics:

Provides callbacks for user and transactional analytics. Based on your needs, handle the callbacks to report to your analytics dashboards.




There are 2 delegate methods for purchase Analytics:
TMPurchaseUserAnalyticsDelegate and TMPurchaseWebAnalyticsDelegate methods

Initialization Methods:


TMPurchaseNavigationController.eventDetailsNavigationController(eventIdentifier: String,
                                                marketDomain: MarketDomain = .US)


Initialization Example:

let viewController = TMPurchaseNavigationController.eventDetailsNavigationController(eventIdentifier:"1234567",
                                                marketDomain: MarketDomain = .US)

Setting other delegates:

viewController.sharingDelegate =  self
viewController.navigationDelegate =  self
