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

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