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

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