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

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