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

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