AT New York & Company (using Ventrata's OCTO API)

 

This reseller connection lets you sell your products through AT New York & Company without managing availability, pricing and bookings by hand. Features of this connection include:

  • Availability Sync – AT New York & Company checks your live availability in Ventrata.

  • Pricing Sync – AT New York & Company gets your prices from your reseller pricing in Ventrata.

  • Bookings Sync – bookings, updates and cancellations from AT New York & Company are created in Ventrata instantly, and customers get Ventrata tickets.

 

Creating the AT New York & Company Connection

🔐 Required Role Permissions: See Connections, Modify Connections, See Connection Key

Before you begin:

  • You must have a commercial agreement with AT New York & Company for them to sell your products. To inquire about partnering with them, contact them via www.at-newyork.com.

  • You must have AT New York & Company created as a Reseller in Ventrata with their pricing (retail, wholesale/commission) defined correctly. Note that this API connection requires that the reseller is set to the "Bill to my account" settlement method.

 

  1. In Ventrata Dashboard, go to Connections → Connections, click + New Connection, and select AT New York & Company from the list of partners.

  2. Select AT New York & Company Reseller from the list of your resellers (must be created before creating a connection). The connection will inherit the reseller's configuration like pricing, allowed destinations, products, etc.

  3. (Optional) You can also set the connection Name of your choosing, which may be helpful if you plan to have multiple AT New York & Company connections and would like to differentiate between them more easily in the future.

  4. Press the Create Octo Connection button.

 

📗 TIP

If needed, you can also allow or disallow products or destinations on the connection level, in addition to what you have configured on the reseller.

 

Mapping Products to AT New York & Company

Securely share the OCTO API key shown on the connection you've created with your AT New York & Company contact and ask them to map your products using Ventrata's OCTO API, with pricing (octo/pricing) enabled. Typically, it takes no longer than a few business days for the AT New York & Company team to complete this.

 

Your Ventrata configuration is complete. You do not need to take any further steps.

 

📗 TIP

AT New York & Company can access all products enabled on the connection, but you can also provide the Product and Option IDs from the connection page when contacting them to specify what to map.

 

Managing the AT New York & Company Connection

  • Allow or disallow products: limit which destinations, products and options AT New York & Company can access. See how to allow or disallow products.

  • Rename the connection to tell several AT New York & Company connections apart.

 

Connection Features Detailed

This section is for anyone who wants to know exactly how the AT New York & Company connection works: which Ventrata OCTO API calls AT New York & Company makes, when it makes them, and what that means for you. Each call links to Ventrata's API documentation.

 

In short: AT New York & Company pulls everything it needs from Ventrata. It reads your products, checks your availability and prices, and sends bookings and cancellations. Ventrata doesn't push changes to AT New York & Company, so anything you change in Ventrata reaches AT New York & Company the next time it checks.

 

Product Mapping

❌

You can't map products from Ventrata. AT New York & Company maps them on its side, through your account manager or AT New York & Company's portal.

This works as follows:

  • Get Products (GET /products) – when AT New York & Company sets up your connection, and whenever it refreshes its listings, it reads every product enabled on the connection, with its options and units (ticket types such as Adult or Child).

  • Get Product (GET /products/{productId}) – AT New York & Company re-reads a single product to pick up changes to its options, units, booking cutoffs and settings.

  • Mapping on AT New York & Company's side – AT New York & Company links each Ventrata option and unit to its own listing and ticket types. Your AT New York & Company account manager does this for you, or you do it in AT New York & Company's own portal if AT New York & Company offers one. You only share the connection's API key.

 

What this means for you: AT New York & Company can only sell what it has mapped. When you add a product, option or unit in Ventrata, AT New York & Company may see it on its next refresh, but it won't sell it until it's mapped. So tell your AT New York & Company account manager whenever you add one.

Content Sync

❌

AT New York & Company doesn't read your product content from Ventrata.

AT New York & Company uses the descriptions, images and other content set up on its own side, so update your content with AT New York & Company directly.

Availability Sync

✅

AT New York & Company checks your live availability in Ventrata. Ventrata doesn't push availability changes to AT New York & Company.

This works as follows:

  • Availability Check (POST /availability) – AT New York & Company sends a product, an option and a date or date range. Ventrata answers with each bookable day or time slot, its status (AVAILABLE, LIMITED, SOLD_OUT, CLOSED or FREESALE), the remaining vacancies, the booking cutoff and an availabilityId, which AT New York & Company needs to book that slot.

  • Availability Calendar (POST /availability/calendar) – returns one summary per day instead of every time slot, typically to show which dates are open in a date picker.

  • Check at booking – when a customer books, Ventrata checks capacity again before it creates the booking, so AT New York & Company can't overbook a slot that has just sold out, even if its stored availability is slightly out of date.

 

What this means for you: when you close a date, change capacity or sell out in Ventrata, AT New York & Company shows it only after its next check, so there can be a short delay. Ventrata's check at booking still prevents overbooking.

Pricing Sync

✅

Your prices come back with every availability check, once AT New York & Company asks for them with the octo/pricing capability.

This works as follows:

  • octo/pricing capability – AT New York & Company asks for prices by adding octo/pricing to the Octo-Capabilities header of its requests. Without it, Ventrata sends availability with no prices at all.

  • Availability Check (POST /availability) – with pricing on, each day or time slot comes back with your price per unit (ticket type): the retail price the customer pays and the net price you invoice AT New York & Company, both from the reseller's pricing in Ventrata (retail and wholesale/commission).

  • Group prices – when AT New York & Company also sends how many people of each unit type are booking, Ventrata prices that exact group. This matters for Booking Size fares and other group pricing.

  • Booking Reservation (POST /bookings) and Booking Confirmation (POST /bookings/{uuid}/confirm) – the booking comes back with its final retail and net price, so the booking in Ventrata always records the price it was sold at.

 

‼️ IMPORTANT – Ask for pricing to be enabled. When you ask AT New York & Company to map your products, ask them to enable pricing (octo/pricing) as well, or switch it on yourself if you map in AT New York & Company's portal. Otherwise it may be off, and AT New York & Company won't receive your Ventrata prices.

Promotions Sync

❌

Your Ventrata promotions don't apply on AT New York & Company.

Prices on AT New York & Company don't include promotions you create in Ventrata. Set up any promotions with AT New York & Company directly.

Bookings Sync

✅

Bookings and cancellations made on AT New York & Company are created in Ventrata instantly, and customers get Ventrata tickets.

This works as follows:

  1. Hold: Booking Reservation (POST /bookings) – when a customer starts checkout on AT New York & Company, AT New York & Company sends the product, option, chosen slot (availabilityId) and one unit item per person. Ventrata checks capacity again and creates an ON_HOLD booking, which holds the places while the customer pays. If there's no longer room, Ventrata rejects the hold.

  2. Confirm: Booking Confirmation (POST /bookings/{uuid}/confirm) – once payment goes through, AT New York & Company confirms the hold. The booking becomes CONFIRMED in Ventrata, and Ventrata sends back your booking reference and the tickets (one per person) or a voucher (one per booking), depending on how your product is set up, each with a QR code and a PDF link. AT New York & Company gives these to the customer, who shows them at your entrance like any Ventrata ticket.

  3. Expire: if the customer doesn't finish paying, AT New York & Company never confirms, and the hold expires on its own and frees the places.

  4. Cancel: Booking Cancellation (POST /bookings/{uuid}/cancel) – when a customer cancels on AT New York & Company, AT New York & Company cancels the booking in Ventrata. Ventrata accepts this only if the booking can still be cancelled and the option's cancellation cutoff hasn't passed. Otherwise it rejects the request, and AT New York & Company has to contact you.

  5. Change: Booking Update (PATCH /bookings/{uuid}) – lets AT New York & Company change a booking in place, for example a new date, time or number of people. Some resellers cancel and rebook instead.

 

‼️ IMPORTANT – Bookings sync one way, from AT New York & Company to Ventrata. If you cancel, change or rebook a booking from AT New York & Company in Ventrata, for example in the Dashboard, AT New York & Company isn't notified. Contact AT New York & Company so the booking is cancelled or changed on their side too, or ask the customer to cancel through AT New York & Company.

Pickups/Dropoff Sync

If your products include pickups, check with AT New York & Company how it collects pickup details, or arrange them with the customer.
