Creating the Mega Travel Group Connection

🔐 Required Role Permissions: See Connections, Modify Connections, See Connection Key

Before you begin:

You must have a commercial agreement with Mega Travel Group for them to sell your products. To inquire about partnering with them, contact them via megagroup24.com.
You must have Mega Travel Group created as a Reseller in Ventrata with their pricing (retail, wholesale/commission) defined correctly. Note that this API connection requires that the reseller is set to the "Bill to my account" settlement method.

In Ventrata Dashboard, go to Connections → Connections, click + New Connection, and select Mega Travel Group from the list of partners.
Select Mega Travel Group Reseller from the list of your resellers (must be created before creating a connection). The connection will inherit the reseller's configuration like pricing, allowed destinations, products, etc.
(Optional) You can also set the connection Name of your choosing, which may be helpful if you plan to have multiple Mega Travel Group connections and would like to differentiate between them more easily in the future.
Press the Create Octo Connection button.

📗 TIP

If needed, you can also allow or disallow products or destinations on the connection level, in addition to what you have configured on the reseller.

Mapping Products to Mega Travel Group

Securely share the OCTO API key shown on the connection you've created with your Mega Travel Group contact and ask them to map your products using Ventrata's OCTO API, with pricing (octo/pricing) enabled. Typically, it takes no longer than a few business days for the Mega Travel Group team to complete this.

Your Ventrata configuration is complete. You do not need to take any further steps.

📗 TIP

Mega Travel Group can access all products enabled on the connection, but you can also provide the Product and Option IDs from the connection page when contacting them to specify what to map.

Connection Features Detailed

This section is for anyone who wants to know exactly how the Mega Travel Group connection works: which Ventrata OCTO API calls Mega Travel Group makes, when it makes them, and what that means for you. Each call links to Ventrata's API documentation.

In short: Mega Travel Group pulls everything it needs from Ventrata. It reads your products, checks your availability and prices, and sends bookings and cancellations. Ventrata doesn't push changes to Mega Travel Group, so anything you change in Ventrata reaches Mega Travel Group the next time it checks.

Timings are typical for Mega Travel Group and rounded, and they can change if Mega Travel Group changes how it syncs.

Product Mapping	❌	You can't map products from Ventrata. Mega Travel Group maps them on its side, through your account manager or Mega Travel Group's portal. This works as follows: Get Products (`GET /products`) – when Mega Travel Group sets up your connection, and whenever it refreshes its listings, it reads every product enabled on the connection, with its options and units (ticket types such as Adult or Child). Get Product (`GET /products/{productId}`) – Mega Travel Group re-reads a single product to pick up changes to its options, units, booking cutoffs and settings. Mapping on Mega Travel Group's side – Mega Travel Group links each Ventrata option and unit to its own listing and ticket types. Your Mega Travel Group account manager does this for you, or you do it in Mega Travel Group's own portal if Mega Travel Group offers one. You only share the connection's API key. Typically with Mega Travel Group: Mega Travel Group reads your full product list about once a day. It re-reads each product about once a day. What this means for you: Mega Travel Group can only sell what it has mapped. When you add a product, option or unit in Ventrata, Mega Travel Group may see it on its next refresh, but it won't sell it until it's mapped. So tell your Mega Travel Group account manager whenever you add one.
Content Sync	✅ / ❌	Mega Travel Group can read your product content, such as descriptions and images, from Ventrata. This works as follows: `octo/content` capability – when Mega Travel Group adds it to the `Octo-Capabilities` header, Get Products (`GET /products`) and Get Product (`GET /products/{productId}`) also return your product content, such as descriptions, highlights, inclusions and images. Content changes in Ventrata reach Mega Travel Group on its next product refresh. Typically with Mega Travel Group: Mega Travel Group requests `octo/content`.
Availability Sync	✅	Mega Travel Group checks your live availability in Ventrata. Ventrata doesn't push availability changes to Mega Travel Group. This works as follows: Availability Check (`POST /availability`) – Mega Travel Group sends a product, an option and a date or date range. Ventrata answers with each bookable day or time slot, its status (`AVAILABLE`, `LIMITED`, `SOLD_OUT`, `CLOSED` or `FREESALE`), the remaining vacancies, the booking cutoff and an `availabilityId`, which Mega Travel Group needs to book that slot. Availability Calendar (`POST /availability/calendar`) – returns one summary per day instead of every time slot, typically to show which dates are open in a date picker. Check at booking – when a customer books, Ventrata checks capacity again before it creates the booking, so Mega Travel Group can't overbook a slot that has just sold out, even if its stored availability is slightly out of date. Typically with Mega Travel Group: Availability Check: Mega Travel Group checks each product every few minutes, usually starting about 2 months ahead and covering a single day per request and looks up to about 6 months ahead. Availability Calendar: Mega Travel Group checks each product about every 18 hours, usually starting today and covering about 3 months per request and looks up to about 3 months ahead. Checks are busiest between 16:00 and 22:00 UTC, which suggests most checks are live, as customers browse Mega Travel Group. What this means for you: when you close a date, change capacity or sell out in Ventrata, Mega Travel Group shows it after its next check. For dates it checks regularly, that's within a few minutes. Dates further ahead are usually checked less often.
Pricing Sync	✅	Your prices come back with every availability check, once Mega Travel Group asks for them with the octo/pricing capability. This works as follows: `octo/pricing` capability – Mega Travel Group asks for prices by adding `octo/pricing` to the `Octo-Capabilities` header of its requests. Without it, Ventrata sends availability with no prices at all. Availability Check (`POST /availability`) – with pricing on, each day or time slot comes back with your price per unit (ticket type): the retail price the customer pays and the net price you invoice Mega Travel Group, both from the reseller's pricing in Ventrata (retail and wholesale/commission). Group prices – when Mega Travel Group also sends how many people of each unit type are booking, Ventrata prices that exact group. This matters for Booking Size fares and other group pricing. Booking Reservation (`POST /bookings`) and Booking Confirmation (`POST /bookings/{uuid}/confirm`) – the booking comes back with its final retail and net price, so the booking in Ventrata always records the price it was sold at. Typically with Mega Travel Group: Mega Travel Group requests `octo/pricing` on all of its availability checks, so it sells at your Ventrata prices. Mega Travel Group sends the number of people per unit type, so group prices are calculated for the actual booking. ‼️ IMPORTANT – Ask for pricing to be enabled. When you ask Mega Travel Group to map your products, ask them to enable pricing (`octo/pricing`) as well, or switch it on yourself if you map in Mega Travel Group's portal. Otherwise it may be off, and Mega Travel Group won't receive your Ventrata prices. 📗 TIP – If prices on Mega Travel Group look wrong, check the Mega Travel Group reseller's pricing in Ventrata first: that's what Mega Travel Group reads.
Promotions Sync	❌	Your Ventrata promotions don't apply on Mega Travel Group. Prices on Mega Travel Group don't include promotions you create in Ventrata. Set up any promotions with Mega Travel Group directly.
Bookings Sync	✅	Bookings and cancellations made on Mega Travel Group are created in Ventrata instantly, and customers get Ventrata tickets. This works as follows: Hold: Booking Reservation (`POST /bookings`) – when a customer starts checkout on Mega Travel Group, Mega Travel Group sends the product, option, chosen slot (`availabilityId`) and one unit item per person. Ventrata checks capacity again and creates an `ON_HOLD` booking, which holds the places while the customer pays. If there's no longer room, Ventrata rejects the hold. Confirm: Booking Confirmation (`POST /bookings/{uuid}/confirm`) – once payment goes through, Mega Travel Group confirms the hold, with its own booking reference and the customer's contact details. The booking becomes `CONFIRMED` in Ventrata, and Ventrata sends back your booking reference and the tickets (one per person) or a voucher (one per booking), depending on how your product is set up, each with a QR code and a PDF link. Mega Travel Group gives these to the customer, who shows them at your entrance like any Ventrata ticket. Expire: if the customer doesn't finish paying, Mega Travel Group never confirms, and the hold expires on its own and frees the places. Cancel: Booking Cancellation (`POST /bookings/{uuid}/cancel`) – when a customer cancels on Mega Travel Group, Mega Travel Group cancels the booking in Ventrata. Ventrata accepts this only if the booking can still be cancelled and the option's cancellation cutoff hasn't passed. Otherwise it rejects the request, and Mega Travel Group has to contact you. Change: Mega Travel Group doesn't use Booking Update (`PATCH /bookings/{uuid}`), so a change most likely reaches Ventrata as a cancellation plus a new booking. Typically with Mega Travel Group: Mega Travel Group doesn't set a hold time, so the default hold time applies. A typical Mega Travel Group booking is for about 2 people. ‼️ IMPORTANT – Bookings sync one way, from Mega Travel Group to Ventrata. If you cancel, change or rebook a booking from Mega Travel Group in Ventrata, for example in the Dashboard, Mega Travel Group isn't notified. Contact Mega Travel Group so the booking is cancelled or changed on their side too, or ask the customer to cancel through Mega Travel Group.
Pickups/Dropoff Sync	❌	Mega Travel Group doesn't send pickup or drop-off details with its bookings. If your products include pickups, check with Mega Travel Group how it collects pickup details, or arrange them with the customer.
Custom Questions Sync	❌	Mega Travel Group doesn't send answers to your booking questions. If you rely on booking questions, for example names or dietary needs, check with Mega Travel Group how it collects that information.
Extras Sync	❌	Extras and add-ons can't be booked through Mega Travel Group. Customers can only book your main products and options on Mega Travel Group. Sell extras separately, for example on arrival.
Redemption Sync	❌	Redemptions aren't reported to Mega Travel Group. Ventrata doesn't notify Mega Travel Group when a ticket is scanned or redeemed. Mega Travel Group only sees a redemption if it reads the booking back from Ventrata.
Pass Walkup Scanning Sync	❌	Mega Travel Group pass holders can't be scanned at your entrance without a booking. Customers from Mega Travel Group need a booking made through Mega Travel Group before they visit.
Gift Card Sync	❌	Ventrata gift cards can't be sold or redeemed through Mega Travel Group. Gift cards bought in Ventrata can't be used on Mega Travel Group, and Mega Travel Group can't sell Ventrata gift cards.

Good to know: limits and details of the Mega Travel Group connection

Delays: availability and prices reach Mega Travel Group only when it checks, so there's always a short delay after you change something in Ventrata.
Cancellation cutoff: Mega Travel Group can cancel over the API only before your option's cancellation cutoff. Later cancellations have to be agreed with you.
What Mega Travel Group can see: only the destinations, products and options allowed on the reseller and the connection, and enabled for sale on the Direct API source. See how to allow or disallow products.
Tickets: Mega Travel Group issues the Ventrata tickets or voucher it gets on confirmation, so your usual scanning and redemption work as normal.
Test bookings: Mega Travel Group can send test bookings while it sets up the connection. Test bookings don't use your availability and aren't invoiced.
