📒 NOTE
Ventrata doesn't currently support an operator backend connection with Showpass. Showpass isn't available as a Backend Partner on your operators in the Ventrata Dashboard yet, so availability, prices and bookings for operators that use Showpass can't sync automatically.

Requesting a Showpass Connection
We're always open to new integrations. The quickest route is for Showpass to offer an OCTO API, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found, which Ventrata connects to directly. Once it's connected, you could resell products from operators that use Showpass, with live availability and prices from Showpass, and every booking created directly in the operator's Showpass account.
To set up an integration project:
Introduce us. If you resell products from operators that use Showpass, send one email to your contact at Showpass, or ask your operator to, and copy [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which operators and products you'd like to connect.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Showpass and agrees the integration plan with them.
Showpass and Ventrata build and certify the connection. Showpass offers an OCTO API, or shares its own API, and the connection is tested with test bookings before it goes live.
Connect and sell. Once it's live, you select Showpass as the Backend Partner on your operators under Products → Operators, like any other backend.
If Showpass works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Showpass 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 Showpass Operators in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still resell products from operators that use Showpass, for example:
Manage availability in Ventrata: set up the operator's products in Ventrata and keep their availability up to date there. See how to create products.
Send bookings to the operator: pass each booking to the operator, so they can enter it in Showpass.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case the operator also uses a booking system that's already connected to Ventrata.
