Overview

Standard marketplace connections use TrekkSoft's standard API to sync your activities, schedules an price category to online travel agents (OTAs).

This type of connection is a lot simpler for businesses to enable as your activities, schedules and price categories are mapped by the OTA.

What information do you get from these marketplaces?

Guest information

The type of guest information you get depends on the marketplace.

• Customer name - Required
• Contact details - Email or phone number depending on the marketplace
• If there's more than one guest booked for the trip, the name of the buying customer will appear with the number of people booked for the trip.

Booking number

Every basket that comes from a marketplace will include information about which channel the booking came from, as well as the external booking number for that basket.

Sales reports

We do not receive the payment method used by the customer, or the total price paid by your customer.

To calculate sales reports, we use the prices listed on TrekkSoft. To find out how much your customers were actually charged, we would advise you to check your marketplace supplier account.
