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