Requesting an Arival Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Arival can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Arival could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Arival would be created in Ventrata instantly, with Ventrata tickets issued to the customer.
To set up an integration project:
Introduce us. If you work with Arival, send one email to your Arival contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Arival.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Arival, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Arival builds and certifies the connection. Arival builds against the OCTO API and passes OCTO certification, then Ventrata certifies it with test bookings. Most resellers finish development in 2 to 10 business days.
Connect and sell. Once it's live, Arival appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Arival works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Arival after your introduction.
📗 TIP
See How to Request a New API Connection or Partner for what to include in your introduction email, with a sample you can copy.
Working with Arival in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Arival in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Arival book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Arival bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Arival sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
