bookingkit is a Berlin-based ticketing and reservation platform for high-volume European attractions, from amusement parks and zoos to museums, waterparks and escape rooms, with Europa-Park and Koelner Zoo among its customers. It covers webshop sales, point of sale, entry management and accounting across German-speaking Europe and wider European markets.

📒 NOTE

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

How it would connect

Ventrata would connect to bookingkit, ideally through the OCTO standard

Next step

Introduce bookingkit to [email protected]

 

Requesting a bookingkit Connection

We're always open to new integrations. The quickest route is for bookingkit 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 bookingkit, with live availability and prices from bookingkit, and every booking created directly in the operator's bookingkit account.

 

To set up an integration project:

  1. Introduce us. If you resell products from operators that use bookingkit, send one email to your contact at bookingkit, 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.

  2. We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts bookingkit and agrees the integration plan with them.

  3. bookingkit and Ventrata build and certify the connection. bookingkit offers an OCTO API, or shares its own API, and the connection is tested with test bookings before it goes live.

  4. Connect and sell. Once it's live, you select bookingkit as the Backend Partner on your operators under Products → Operators, like any other backend.

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

Until a connection is live, you can still resell products from operators that use bookingkit, 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 bookingkit.

  • 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.

 

FAQs

Does Ventrata integrate with bookingkit?

Not yet. There's no operator backend connection between Ventrata and bookingkit today, so availability, prices and bookings for operators that use bookingkit don't sync automatically. You can request one: introduce bookingkit to [email protected], as described above.

Can bookingkit connect to Ventrata?

Yes. The quickest route is an OCTO API from bookingkit, which Ventrata connects to directly. If bookingkit prefers its own API specification, we're happy to consider that as well.

How do I request a bookingkit integration?

Email your contact at bookingkit, or ask your operator to, and copy [email protected]. Say which operators and products you'd like to connect. See How to Request a New API Connection or Partner for details.

What will the bookingkit connection do once it's live?

Like Ventrata's other operator backends, you'll map your Ventrata products to the operator's bookingkit products, take live availability and prices from bookingkit, and every booking you make will be created in the operator's bookingkit account. See Connections & Partners Explained for how connections work.
