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

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