Creating the Rezdy Connection
🔐 Required Role Permissions: See Connections, Modify Connections, See Connection Key
Before you begin:
You must have a commercial agreement with Rezdy for them to sell your products. To inquire about partnering with them, contact them via rezdy.com.
You must have Rezdy 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.
In Ventrata Dashboard, go to Connections → Connections, click + New Connection, and select Rezdy from the list of partners.
Select Rezdy 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.
(Optional) You can also set the connection Name of your choosing, which may be helpful if you plan to have multiple Rezdy connections and would like to differentiate between them more easily in the future.
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 Rezdy
Securely share the OCTO API key shown on the connection you've created with your Rezdy 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 Rezdy team to complete this.
Your Ventrata configuration is complete. You do not need to take any further steps.
📗 TIP
Rezdy 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 Rezdy Connection
Allow or disallow products: limit which destinations, products and options Rezdy can access. See how to allow or disallow products.
Rename the connection to tell several Rezdy connections apart.
Connection Features Detailed
This section is for anyone who wants to know exactly how the Rezdy connection works: which Ventrata OCTO API calls Rezdy makes, when it makes them, and what that means for you. Each call links to Ventrata's API documentation.
In short: Rezdy 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 Rezdy, so anything you change in Ventrata reaches Rezdy the next time it checks.
Product Mapping | ❌ |
You can't map products from Ventrata. Rezdy maps them on its side, through your account manager or Rezdy's portal. This works as follows:
What this means for you: Rezdy can only sell what it has mapped. When you add a product, option or unit in Ventrata, Rezdy may see it on its next refresh, but it won't sell it until it's mapped. So tell your Rezdy account manager whenever you add one. |
Content Sync | ❌ |
Rezdy doesn't read your product content from Ventrata. Rezdy uses the descriptions, images and other content set up on its own side, so update your content with Rezdy directly. |
Availability Sync | ✅ |
Rezdy checks your live availability in Ventrata. Ventrata doesn't push availability changes to Rezdy. This works as follows:
What this means for you: when you close a date, change capacity or sell out in Ventrata, Rezdy 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 Rezdy asks for them with the octo/pricing capability. This works as follows:
‼️ IMPORTANT – Ask for pricing to be enabled. When you ask Rezdy to map your products, ask them to enable pricing ( |
Promotions Sync | ❌ |
Your Ventrata promotions don't apply on Rezdy. Prices on Rezdy don't include promotions you create in Ventrata. Set up any promotions with Rezdy directly. |
Bookings Sync | ✅ |
Bookings and cancellations made on Rezdy are created in Ventrata instantly, and customers get Ventrata tickets. This works as follows:
‼️ IMPORTANT – Bookings sync one way, from Rezdy to Ventrata. If you cancel, change or rebook a booking from Rezdy in Ventrata, for example in the Dashboard, Rezdy isn't notified. Contact Rezdy so the booking is cancelled or changed on their side too, or ask the customer to cancel through Rezdy. |
Pickups/Dropoff Sync | ❌ |
Rezdy doesn't send pickup or drop-off details with its bookings. If your products include pickups, check with Rezdy how it collects pickup details, or arrange them with the customer. |
Custom Questions Sync | ❌ |
Rezdy doesn't send answers to your booking questions. If you rely on booking questions, for example names or dietary needs, check with Rezdy how it collects that information. |
Extras Sync | ❌ |
Extras and add-ons can't be booked through Rezdy. Customers can only book your main products and options on Rezdy. Sell extras separately, for example on arrival. |
Redemption Sync | ❌ |
Redemptions aren't reported to Rezdy. Ventrata doesn't notify Rezdy when a ticket is scanned or redeemed. Rezdy only sees a redemption if it reads the booking back from Ventrata. |
Pass Walkup Scanning Sync | ❌ |
Rezdy pass holders can't be scanned at your entrance without a booking. Customers from Rezdy need a booking made through Rezdy before they visit. |
Gift Card Sync | ❌ |
Ventrata gift cards can't be sold or redeemed through Rezdy. Gift cards bought in Ventrata can't be used on Rezdy, and Rezdy can't sell Ventrata gift cards. |

Good to know: limits and details of the Rezdy connection
Delays: availability and prices reach Rezdy only when it checks, so there's always a short delay after you change something in Ventrata.
Cancellation cutoff: Rezdy can cancel over the API only before your option's cancellation cutoff. Later cancellations have to be agreed with you.
What Rezdy can see: only the destinations, products and options allowed on the reseller and the connection, and enabled for sale on the Direct API source. See how to allow or disallow products.
Tickets: Rezdy issues the Ventrata tickets or voucher it gets on confirmation, so your usual scanning and redemption work as normal.
Test bookings: Rezdy can send test bookings while it sets up the connection. Test bookings don't use your availability and aren't invoiced.
