The client requests to create a booking after checking availability of the requested slot and receiving that it is available. The partner backend makes a booking for the requested slot, and returns the slot upon success, or business logic error (e.g. if the slot has become unavailable, or if payment is invalid, etc.) upon failure.
Information about the user and payment is provided in this step.
If creating a booking fails due to any business logic error, the error should be populated in the response. See Booking Failure for detailed information.
