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

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