Showaround is a global online marketplace matching travelers with local hosts who run private city tours in their own cities, built on host profiles and personalized guiding. For operators, it brings small custom parties arranged one at a time, not scheduled group volume.

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

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