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

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