Ventrata doesn't connect to Activity Authority yet. See how to request an Activity Authority integration through the OCTO standard, and what to do meanwhile.

Activity Authority is a Maui-based online travel agency (OTA) for discounted Hawaii activities, covering Maui, Oahu, Kauai, the Big Island and Lanai, with further listings in Mexico and Bali. For operators, it brings Hawaii visitors buying luaus, snorkeling, ziplines, surf lessons, whale watching and boat cruises, curated by staff who test the products themselves.

📒 NOTE

Ventrata doesn't currently support a reseller connection with Activity Authority. Activity Authority isn't available under Connections → Connections in the Ventrata Dashboard yet, so your availability, prices and bookings can't sync with Activity Authority automatically.

Requesting an Activity Authority Connection

We're always open to new integrations. Activity Authority can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Activity Authority could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Activity Authority would be created in Ventrata instantly, with Ventrata tickets issued to the customer.

 

To set up an integration project:

  1. Introduce us. If you work with Activity Authority, send one email to your Activity Authority contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Activity Authority.

  2. We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Activity Authority, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.

  3. Activity Authority builds and certifies the connection. Activity Authority 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.

  4. Connect and sell. Once it's live, Activity Authority appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.

If Activity Authority works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Activity Authority 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 Activity Authority in the Meantime

Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Activity Authority in whichever way suits you, for example:

  • Reseller Portal: let Activity Authority book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.

  • Manual bookings: enter Activity Authority bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.

  • Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Activity Authority sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.

 

FAQs

Does Ventrata integrate with Activity Authority?

Not yet. There's no reseller connection between Ventrata and Activity Authority today, so availability, prices and bookings don't sync automatically. You can request one: introduce Activity Authority to [email protected], as described above.

Can Activity Authority connect to Ventrata?

Yes. Activity Authority can connect through Ventrata's OCTO API, the same open standard behind Ventrata's 350+ API connections. Nothing needs to be built on your side. If Activity Authority prefers its own API specification, we're happy to consider that as well.

How do I request an Activity Authority integration?

Email your Activity Authority contact and [email protected] together, and say which products you'd like to sell. Ventrata's connectivity team takes it from there. See How to Request a New API Connection or Partner for details.

How long does it take?

It depends on Activity Authority's development team. Most resellers finish building in 2 to 10 business days, followed by OCTO certification and Ventrata's own checks. We keep you updated throughout.

What will the Activity Authority connection do once it's live?

Like Ventrata's other OCTO reseller connections, Activity Authority could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Activity Authority would be created in Ventrata instantly, with Ventrata tickets issued to the customer. See Connections & Partners Explained for how connections work.
