bookingkit-reach explained
bookingkit reach is the all-in-one marketplace where our vendors can easily grow their distribution network. It enables bookingkit vendors—experience providers—to sell their products globally, while manual resellers can purchase these experiences and resell them to end customers.
At this time, bookingkit reach is focused on supporting vendors and manual resellers, and there are no backend access options available for Automatic Resellers.
Key Points for Collaboration Between Automatic Resellers and bookingkit Vendors
Automatic Resellers appear as integrations within bookingkit reach. Vendors can find all relevant information about the resellers via reach. To enable data exchange via the API, vendors must actively activate the Automatic Resellers in their bookingkit reach dashboard.

Activation Process
Vendors are required to activate an Automatic Reseller only once in the bookingkit backend. Once activated, the reseller gains API access to all experiences offered by the vendor.
bookingkit ensures vendors are informed about any additional steps required to activate a reseller through a dedicated help article. This article is accessible via the "Learn how to connect" button in the backend and includes links to specific partner registration pages.
bookingkit is considering adding direct reminders in the backend to highlight additional registration requirements, but this feature has not yet been implemented.
Limitations per Resellers
Vendors can restrict ticket availability for specific resellers on an experience-by-experience basis.
Example: If a vendor offers a city tour with 30 tickets, they can allocate a maximum of 10 tickets to a particular reseller. Once these 10 tickets are sold, the remaining 20 remain available for sale via the vendor’s website or other channels.
Many vendors, however, do not use these limitations and make their entire inventory available across all resellers.
Informing Vendors About New Resellers
bookingkit actively supports resellers by increasing their visibility within the platform.
Partner Overview Section: Each reseller will be listed in the "Overview of all automatic resellers" with their logo, a description, and an activation button.
Communication Channels: Vendors will be informed about new resellers via email, backend push notifications, and potentially a blog article. bookingkit also has the capability to target specific regions through email campaigns.
Additional actions, such as social media posts, can be arranged if deemed appropriate.
