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

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