Requesting a Venku Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Venku can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Venku could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Venku 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 Venku, send one email to your Venku contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Venku.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Venku, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Venku builds and certifies the connection. Venku 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, Venku appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Venku works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Venku 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 Venku in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Venku in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Venku book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Venku bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Venku sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
