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

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