Uber is a ride-hailing and delivery platform used across thousands of cities, with a travel arm adding hotel booking and city hub guides covering transport and points of interest. For operators, it brings travelers already in the destination or in transit, buying on the day instead of at the trip-planning stage.

📒 NOTE
Ventrata doesn't currently support a reseller connection with Uber. Uber isn't available under Connections → Connections in the Ventrata Dashboard yet, so your availability, prices and bookings can't sync with Uber automatically.

Requesting a Uber Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Uber can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Uber could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Uber 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 Uber, send one email to your Uber contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Uber.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Uber, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Uber builds and certifies the connection. Uber 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, Uber appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Uber works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Uber after your introduction.
📗 TIP
See How to Request a New API Connection or Partner for what to include in your introduction email, with a sample you can copy.
Working with Uber in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Uber in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Uber book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Uber bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Uber sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
