Requesting a Barceló Experiences Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Barceló Experiences can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Barceló Experiences could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Barceló Experiences 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 Barceló Experiences, send one email to your Barceló Experiences contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Barceló Experiences.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Barceló Experiences, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Barceló Experiences builds and certifies the connection. Barceló Experiences 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, Barceló Experiences appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Barceló Experiences works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Barceló Experiences after your introduction.
📗 TIP

Working with Barceló Experiences in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Barceló Experiences in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Barceló Experiences book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Barceló Experiences bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Barceló Experiences sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
