The Ventrata Reseller Connection is one part of the Ventrata-to-Ventrata connection.
This connection enables you to sell your products on resellers (other Ventrata clients) by automatically syncing your availability, pricing, and bookings in real time. The capabilities of this connection allow you to:
Sync availability and pricing for your products.
Receive bookings, updates, and cancellations.
The supplier that owns the original product is creating the Operator connection. The reseller (also a Ventrata supplier) is creating the Reseller connection.
In this setup, you will need to create entries for each other and establish a connection between the two accounts.
đ TIP
You can use the Ventrata-to-Ventrata connection to connect with another Ventrata client to resell your products, or you can use this connection to resell products within your account across your destinations.
