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

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