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

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

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