ATDW offer various ways for distribution partners to enable product content to be bookable on your own digital channel.
Within ATDW listings themselves in all category’s operators are asked to provide their own Booking and Shopping URLs, where their product or experience can be booked or purchased.
This content is returned in the Get Product call of all products (where the operator has supplied it). The API fields to use are outlined below:
As a distributor you can display this link on your website as a Book Now or Shop Now button to guide consumers to book directly with the tourism operator themselves as a direct lead.
In this approach there is no inventory feeding through to your site or any commission being earnt on bookings. Consumers will go off your site to the operators own booking websites to book direct.
ATDW has mapped and stores various Booking Platform providers unique identifiers and URLs against corresponding listings within the ATDW database. This is to facilitate booking functionality on distributor websites and enable you to earn commission through sales generated on your site.
To have booking inventory and booking capability on your website, you must first establish a commercial affiliate relationship with the applicable booking provider(s) of your choosing. Then pull through the Unique ID, product name or URL from ATDW as outlined below in the Get Product information of the ATDW listing, and request to retrieve the inventory for that product from the Booking provider API.
Some providers may offer widgets, white label products or other tools to facilitate this process.
