Walkway Connection

Connect Walkway to Ventrata to let its AI pricing engine learn from your bookings and update your prices within floors and ceilings you set.

Walkway

 

Walkway is an AI pricing platform for tour and activity operators. It tracks competitor rates, demand, seasonality and booking pace to recommend or apply price moves within floors and ceilings the operator sets, on autopilot or with manual approval. Its users run walking tours, museum entries, cooking classes, river cruises and water sports, including Amigo Tours.

 

Connecting Walkway to Ventrata sends bookings, changes and cancellations to its pricing engine and pushes its price updates back to your products.

Dynamic Pricing & Revenue Management

Developed by

Walkway (using Ventrata's OCTO API)

 

This app connection links your Ventrata account with Walkway so its pricing engine can recommend or apply price moves based on your actual sales. Features of this connection include:

  • Reads your products and availability – for products enabled on the connection.

  • Reads your bookings – including updates and cancellations, to benchmark recommendations against actual sales.

  • Updates your prices – pushes price changes back to your products, automatically or after your approval.

 

Creating the Walkway Connection

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

Before you begin:

  • You must have an agreement with Walkway to use their services.

  • Walkway must be created as a Reseller in Ventrata before you create the connection.

 

  1. In Ventrata Dashboard, go to Connections → Connections, click + New Connection, and select Walkway from the list of partners.

  2. Select Walkway from the list of your resellers. The connection inherits the reseller's configuration, such as allowed destinations and products.

  3. (Optional) You can also set the connection Name of your choosing, which may be helpful if you plan to have multiple Walkway connections and would like to differentiate between them more easily in the future.

  4. Press the Create Octo Connection button.

Connection Features Detailed

This section is for anyone who wants to know exactly how the Walkway connection works: what Walkway does with your Ventrata data, and which Ventrata OCTO API calls it makes.

 

Reads products and availability

✅

Gets products and availability for products enabled on the connection.

Walkway reads products and availability for the products enabled on the connection.

 

This works as follows:

  • Get Products (GET /products) – Walkway reads every product enabled on the connection, with its options and units.

  • Get Product (GET /products/{productId}) – Walkway re-reads a single product to pick up changes.

  • Availability Check (POST /availability) – Walkway sends a product, an option and dates, and Ventrata answers with each bookable day or time slot and its status.

  • Availability Batch (POST /availability/batch) – availability for many products in one request.

 

Typically with Walkway: it does this around the clock.

Reads prices

✅

Walkway gets your prices with availability when it asks for them.

This works as follows:

  • octo/pricing capability – Walkway asks for prices by adding it to the Octo-Capabilities header of its requests. Without it, Ventrata sends availability with no prices.

 

Typically with Walkway: it does this around the clock.

Updates prices

✅

Pushes its price updates back to your products.

Price moves stay within floors and ceilings you set, on autopilot or with manual approval.

Walkway sends your updated prices or availability to Ventrata through a dedicated update API. Ventrata applies them to your products.

 

Typically with Walkway: it does this throughout the day.

Reads bookings

✅

Gets bookings, updates and cancellations.

Walkway retrieves bookings, updates and cancellations for those products.

 

This works as follows:

  • Get Bookings (GET /bookings) – Walkway lists bookings for the products enabled on the connection.

 

Typically with Walkway: it does this around the clock.

 

What this means for you: Recommendations are benchmarked against actual sales.
