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