This connection enables you to sell your products on DOWTK in a more automated way, eliminating the need to manually manage availability, pricing and bookings. Capabilities of this connection allow you to:
Sync availability, pricing and deals for your DOWTK products with Ventrata.
Receive bookings, updates, cancellations from DOWTK to Ventrata.
Issue vouchers/tickets from Ventarta to DOWTK customers instantly.
Creating Connection
Before you begin:
You must have a commercial agreement with DOWTK to sell their products. To inquire about partnering with them contact them by submitting a form via dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/marketing-package-enquiry.
You must have DOWTK created as a Reseller in Ventrata with their pricing (retail, wholesale/commission) defined correctly. Note that this API connection requires that reseller is set to "Bill to my account" settlement method.
In Ventrata Dashboard, go to Connections → Connections, click + New Connection, and select Day Out With The Kids from the list of partners.
Select DOWTK Reseller from the list of your resellers (must be created before creating connection). The connection will inherit reseller's configuration like pricing, whitelisted destinations, products, etc.
(Optional) You can also set the connection Name of your choosing, which may be helpful if you plan to have multiple DOWTK connections and would like to differentiate between them more easily in the future. If needed, you can also whitelist/blacklist products or destinations on the connection level in addition to what you have configured on the reseller, which can be helpful if you have multiple DOWTK connections linked to one reseller.
Mapping Products
Email the OCTO API key shown on the connection you've created to your DOWTK contact and ask for them to map your products using Ventrata's OCTO API. Typically it takes no longer than a few business days for the DOWTK team to complete this.
(Optional) While DOWTK team can access the full list of products you've enabled for them on the connection, you can also specify which product you would like them to map by providing the Product and Option IDs displayed on the connection page when you contact them.
Troubleshooting
