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

Working with Local Alike in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Local Alike in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Local Alike book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Local Alike bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Local Alike sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
