📒 NOTE
Ventrata doesn't currently support an operator backend connection with Bookeasy. Bookeasy isn't available as a Backend Partner on your operators in the Ventrata Dashboard yet, so availability, prices and bookings for operators that use Bookeasy can't sync automatically.

Requesting a Bookeasy Connection
We're always open to new integrations. The quickest route is for Bookeasy to offer an OCTO API, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found, which Ventrata connects to directly. Once it's connected, you could resell products from operators that use Bookeasy, with live availability and prices from Bookeasy, and every booking created directly in the operator's Bookeasy account.
To set up an integration project:
Introduce us. If you resell products from operators that use Bookeasy, send one email to your contact at Bookeasy, or ask your operator to, and copy [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which operators and products you'd like to connect.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Bookeasy and agrees the integration plan with them.
Bookeasy and Ventrata build and certify the connection. Bookeasy offers an OCTO API, or shares its own API, and the connection is tested with test bookings before it goes live.
Connect and sell. Once it's live, you select Bookeasy as the Backend Partner on your operators under Products → Operators, like any other backend.
If Bookeasy works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Bookeasy after your introduction.
📗 TIP
See How to Request a New API Connection or Partner for what to include in your introduction email, with a sample you can copy.
Working with Bookeasy Operators in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still resell products from operators that use Bookeasy, for example:
Manage availability in Ventrata: set up the operator's products in Ventrata and keep their availability up to date there. See how to create products.
Send bookings to the operator: pass each booking to the operator, so they can enter it in Bookeasy.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case the operator also uses a booking system that's already connected to Ventrata.
