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

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