Experience Gifts is a gift-occasion marketplace for tours and activities across eleven countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa, selling instant-book experiences alongside open-dated gift certificates. For operators, it brings dated bookings and deferred redemptions driven by birthdays, holidays and other gifting moments, bought for someone else.

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

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

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