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

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