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

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