Developed by

Globick (using Ventrata's OCTO API)

 

This reseller connection lets you sell your products through Tur.com without managing availability, pricing and bookings by hand. Features of this connection include:

  • Availability Sync – Tur.com checks your live availability in Ventrata.

  • Pricing Sync – Tur.com gets your prices from your reseller pricing in Ventrata.

  • Bookings Sync – bookings, updates and cancellations from Tur.com are created in Ventrata instantly, and customers get Ventrata tickets.

 

Creating the Tur.com Connection

🔐 Required Role Permissions: See Connections, Modify Connections, See Connection Key

Before you begin:

  • You must have a commercial agreement with Tur.com for them to sell your products. To inquire about partnering with them, contact them via tur.com.

  • You must have Tur.com created as a Reseller in Ventrata with their pricing (retail, wholesale/commission) defined correctly. Note that this API connection requires that the reseller is set to the "Bill to my account" settlement method.

 

  1. In Ventrata Dashboard, go to Connections → Connections, click + New Connection, and select Tur.com from the list of partners.

  2. Select Tur.com Reseller from the list of your resellers (must be created before creating a connection). The connection will inherit the reseller's configuration like pricing, allowed destinations, products, etc.

  3. (Optional) You can also set the connection Name of your choosing, which may be helpful if you plan to have multiple Tur.com connections and would like to differentiate between them more easily in the future.

  4. Press the Create Octo Connection button.

 

📗 TIP

If needed, you can also allow or disallow products or destinations on the connection level, in addition to what you have configured on the reseller.

 

Mapping Products to Tur.com

Securely share the OCTO API key shown on the connection you've created to your Tur.com contact and ask them to map your products using Ventrata's OCTO API, with pricing (octo/pricing) enabled. Typically, it takes no longer than a few business days for the Tur.com team to complete this.

 

Your Ventrata configuration is complete. You do not need to take any further steps.

 

📗 TIP

Tur.com can access all products enabled on the connection, but you can also provide the Product and Option IDs from the connection page when contacting them to specify what to map.

 

Managing the Tur.com Connection

  • Allow or disallow products: limit which destinations, products and options Tur.com can access. See how to allow or disallow products.

  • Rename the connection to tell several Tur.com connections apart.

 

Connection Features Detailed

This section is for anyone who wants to know exactly how the Tur.com connection works: which Ventrata OCTO API calls Tur.com makes, when it makes them, and what that means for you. Each call links to Ventrata's API documentation.

 

In short: Tur.com pulls everything it needs from Ventrata. It reads your products, checks your availability and prices, and sends bookings and cancellations. Ventrata doesn't push changes to Tur.com, so anything you change in Ventrata reaches Tur.com the next time it checks.

 

Product Mapping

❌

You can't map products from Ventrata. Tur.com maps them on its side, through your account manager or Tur.com's portal.

This works as follows:

  • Get Products (GET /products) – when Tur.com sets up your connection, and whenever it refreshes its listings, it reads every product enabled on the connection, with its options and units (ticket types such as Adult or Child).

  • Get Product (GET /products/{productId}) – Tur.com re-reads a single product to pick up changes to its options, units, booking cutoffs and settings.

  • Mapping on Tur.com's side – Tur.com links each Ventrata option and unit to its own listing and ticket types. Your Tur.com account manager does this for you, or you do it in Tur.com's own portal if Tur.com offers one. You only share the connection's API key.

 

What this means for you: Tur.com can only sell what it has mapped. When you add a product, option or unit in Ventrata, Tur.com may see it on its next refresh, but it won't sell it until it's mapped. So tell your Tur.com account manager whenever you add one.

Content Sync

❌

Tur.com doesn't read your product content from Ventrata.

Tur.com uses the descriptions, images and other content set up on its own side, so update your content with Tur.com directly.

Availability Sync

✅

Tur.com checks your live availability in Ventrata. Ventrata doesn't push availability changes to Tur.com.

This works as follows:

  • Availability Check (POST /availability) – Tur.com sends a product, an option and a date or date range. Ventrata answers with each bookable day or time slot, its status (AVAILABLE, LIMITED, SOLD_OUT, CLOSED or FREESALE), the remaining vacancies, the booking cutoff and an availabilityId, which Tur.com needs to book that slot.

  • Availability Calendar (POST /availability/calendar) – returns one summary per day instead of every time slot, typically to show which dates are open in a date picker.

  • Check at booking – when a customer books, Ventrata checks capacity again before it creates the booking, so Tur.com can't overbook a slot that has just sold out, even if its stored availability is slightly out of date.

 

What this means for you: when you close a date, change capacity or sell out in Ventrata, Tur.com shows it only after its next check, so there can be a short delay. Ventrata's check at booking still prevents overbooking.

Pricing Sync

✅

Your prices come back with every availability check, once Tur.com asks for them with the octo/pricing capability.

This works as follows:

  • octo/pricing capability – Tur.com asks for prices by adding octo/pricing to the Octo-Capabilities header of its requests. Without it, Ventrata sends availability with no prices at all.

  • Availability Check (POST /availability) – with pricing on, each day or time slot comes back with your price per unit (ticket type): the retail price the customer pays and the net price you invoice Tur.com, both from the reseller's pricing in Ventrata (retail and wholesale/commission).

  • Group prices – when Tur.com also sends how many people of each unit type are booking, Ventrata prices that exact group. This matters for Booking Size fares and other group pricing.

  • Booking Reservation (POST /bookings) and Booking Confirmation (POST /bookings/{uuid}/confirm) – the booking comes back with its final retail and net price, so the booking in Ventrata always records the price it was sold at.

 

‼️ IMPORTANT – Ask for pricing to be enabled. When you ask Tur.com to map your products, ask them to enable pricing (octo/pricing) as well, or switch it on yourself if you map in Tur.com's portal. Otherwise it may be off, and Tur.com won't receive your Ventrata prices.

Promotions Sync

❌

Your Ventrata promotions don't apply on Tur.com.

Prices on Tur.com don't include promotions you create in Ventrata. Set up any promotions with Tur.com directly.

Bookings Sync

✅

Bookings and cancellations made on Tur.com are created in Ventrata instantly, and customers get Ventrata tickets.

This works as follows:

  1. Hold: Booking Reservation (POST /bookings) – when a customer starts checkout on Tur.com, Tur.com sends the product, option, chosen slot (availabilityId) and one unit item per person. Ventrata checks capacity again and creates an ON_HOLD booking, which holds the places while the customer pays. If there's no longer room, Ventrata rejects the hold.

  2. Confirm: Booking Confirmation (POST /bookings/{uuid}/confirm) – once payment goes through, Tur.com confirms the hold. The booking becomes CONFIRMED in Ventrata, and Ventrata sends back your booking reference and the tickets (one per person) or a voucher (one per booking), depending on how your product is set up, each with a QR code and a PDF link. Tur.com gives these to the customer, who shows them at your entrance like any Ventrata ticket.

  3. Expire: if the customer doesn't finish paying, Tur.com never confirms, and the hold expires on its own and frees the places.

  4. Cancel: Booking Cancellation (POST /bookings/{uuid}/cancel) – when a customer cancels on Tur.com, Tur.com cancels the booking in Ventrata. Ventrata accepts this only if the booking can still be cancelled and the option's cancellation cutoff hasn't passed. Otherwise it rejects the request, and Tur.com has to contact you.

  5. Change: Booking Update (PATCH /bookings/{uuid}) – lets Tur.com change a booking in place, for example a new date, time or number of people. Some resellers cancel and rebook instead.

 

‼️ IMPORTANT – Bookings sync one way, from Tur.com to Ventrata. If you cancel, change or rebook a booking from Tur.com in Ventrata, for example in the Dashboard, Tur.com isn't notified. Contact Tur.com so the booking is cancelled or changed on their side too, or ask the customer to cancel through Tur.com.

Pickups/Dropoff Sync

❌

Tur.com doesn't send pickup or drop-off details with its bookings.

If your products include pickups, check with Tur.com how it collects pickup details, or arrange them with the customer.

Custom Questions Sync

❌

Tur.com doesn't send answers to your booking questions.

If you rely on booking questions, for example names or dietary needs, check with Tur.com how it collects that information.

Extras Sync

❌

Extras and add-ons can't be booked through Tur.com.

Customers can only book your main products and options on Tur.com. Sell extras separately, for example on arrival.

Redemption Sync

❌

Redemptions aren't reported to Tur.com.

Ventrata doesn't notify Tur.com when a ticket is scanned or redeemed. Tur.com only sees a redemption if it reads the booking back from Ventrata.

Pass Walkup Scanning Sync

❌

Tur.com pass holders can't be scanned at your entrance without a booking.

Customers from Tur.com need a booking made through Tur.com before they visit.

Gift Card Sync

❌

Ventrata gift cards can't be sold or redeemed through Tur.com.

Gift cards bought in Ventrata can't be used on Tur.com, and Tur.com can't sell Ventrata gift cards.

✅ supported · ❌ not supported

 

Good to know: limits and details of the Tur.com connection

  • Delays: availability and prices reach Tur.com only when it checks, so there's always a short delay after you change something in Ventrata.

  • Cancellation cutoff: Tur.com can cancel over the API only before your option's cancellation cutoff. Later cancellations have to be agreed with you.

  • What Tur.com can see: only the destinations, products and options allowed on the reseller and the connection, and enabled for sale on the Direct API source. See how to allow or disallow products.

  • Tickets: Tur.com issues the Ventrata tickets or voucher it gets on confirmation, so your usual scanning and redemption work as normal.

  • Test bookings: Tur.com can send test bookings while it sets up the connection. Test bookings don't use your availability and aren't invoiced.

 

FAQs

No products are displayed on the connection page.

Verify which destinations, products, and options are allowed on your reseller and connection. Next, confirm that your products and options are enabled for sale on the Direct API source. If the issue persists, contact our Technical Support.

My Ventrata products use Booking Size fares, and pricing isn't working correctly on Tur.com.

After every fare change, update the product mapping to ensure the partner tier counts are synced with Ventrata. Ensure the fare is enabled for sale over Direct API.
