Requesting a Lokafy Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Lokafy can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Lokafy could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Lokafy 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 Lokafy, send one email to your Lokafy contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Lokafy.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Lokafy, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Lokafy builds and certifies the connection. Lokafy 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, Lokafy appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Lokafy works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Lokafy after your introduction.
📗 TIP
See How to Request a New API Connection or Partner for what to include in your introduction email, with a sample you can copy.
Working with Lokafy in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Lokafy in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Lokafy book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Lokafy bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Lokafy sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
