Developed by

Mon Petit Paris (using Ventrata's OCTO API)

 

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

  • Availability Sync – Mon Petit Paris checks your live availability in Ventrata.

  • Pricing Sync – Mon Petit Paris gets your prices from your reseller pricing in Ventrata.

  • Bookings Sync – bookings, updates and cancellations from Mon Petit Paris are created in Ventrata instantly, and customers get Ventrata tickets.

 

Creating the Mon Petit Paris Connection

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

Before you begin:

  • You must have a commercial agreement with Mon Petit Paris for them to sell your products. To inquire about partnering with them, contact them via monpetitparis.com.

  • You must have Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris from the list of partners.

  2. Select Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris

Securely share the OCTO API key shown on the connection you've created with your Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris team to complete this.

 

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

 

 

📗 TIP

Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris Connection

  • Allow or disallow products: limit which destinations, products and options Mon Petit Paris can access. See how to allow or disallow products.

  • Rename the connection to tell several Mon Petit Paris connections apart.

 

Connection Features Detailed

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

 

In short: Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris, so anything you change in Ventrata reaches Mon Petit Paris the next time it checks.

 

Product Mapping

❌

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

This works as follows:

  • Get Products (GET /products) – when Mon Petit Paris 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}) – Mon Petit Paris re-reads a single product to pick up changes to its options, units, booking cutoffs and settings.

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

 

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

Content Sync

❌

Mon Petit Paris doesn't read your product content from Ventrata.

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

Availability Sync

✅

Mon Petit Paris checks your live availability in Ventrata. Ventrata doesn't push availability changes to Mon Petit Paris.

This works as follows:

  • Availability Check (POST /availability) – Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris 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, Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris asks for them with the octo/pricing capability.

This works as follows:

  • octo/pricing capability – Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris, both from the reseller's pricing in Ventrata (retail and wholesale/commission).

  • Group prices – when Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris to map your products, ask them to enable pricing (octo/pricing) as well, or switch it on yourself if you map in Mon Petit Paris's portal. Otherwise it may be off, and Mon Petit Paris won't receive your Ventrata prices.

Promotions Sync

❌

Your Ventrata promotions don't apply on Mon Petit Paris.

Prices on Mon Petit Paris don't include promotions you create in Ventrata. Set up any promotions with Mon Petit Paris directly.

Bookings Sync

✅

Bookings and cancellations made on Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris, Mon Petit Paris 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, Mon Petit Paris 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. Mon Petit Paris gives these to the customer, who shows them at your entrance like any Ventrata ticket.

  3. Expire: if the customer doesn't finish paying, Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris, Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris has to contact you.

  5. Change: Booking Update (PATCH /bookings/{uuid}) – lets Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris to Ventrata. If you cancel, change or rebook a booking from Mon Petit Paris in Ventrata, for example in the Dashboard, Mon Petit Paris isn't notified. Contact Mon Petit Paris so the booking is cancelled or changed on their side too, or ask the customer to cancel through Mon Petit Paris.

Pickups/Dropoff Sync

❌

Mon Petit Paris doesn't send pickup or drop-off details with its bookings.

If your products include pickups, check with Mon Petit Paris how it collects pickup details, or arrange them with the customer.

Custom Questions Sync

❌

Mon Petit Paris doesn't send answers to your booking questions.

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

Extras Sync

❌

Extras and add-ons can't be booked through Mon Petit Paris.

Customers can only book your main products and options on Mon Petit Paris. Sell extras separately, for example on arrival.

Redemption Sync

❌

Redemptions aren't reported to Mon Petit Paris.

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

Pass Walkup Scanning Sync

❌

Mon Petit Paris pass holders can't be scanned at your entrance without a booking.

Customers from Mon Petit Paris need a booking made through Mon Petit Paris before they visit.

Good to know: limits and details of the Mon Petit Paris connection

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

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

  • What Mon Petit Paris 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: Mon Petit Paris issues the Ventrata tickets or voucher it gets on confirmation, so your usual scanning and redemption work as normal.

  • Test bookings: Mon Petit Paris 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 Mon Petit Paris.
