FOMO is a South African mobile app that surfaces nearby restaurant, bar and event specials in real time based on the user's location, giving venues promotional reach. For operators, it brings local residents on spontaneous evening and weekend outings looking for a deal close by, a domestic audience rather than inbound visitors.

📒 NOTE
Ventrata doesn't currently support a reseller connection with FOMO. FOMO isn't available under Connections → Connections in the Ventrata Dashboard yet, so your availability, prices and bookings can't sync with FOMO automatically.

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