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

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