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

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