Step-by-step guide for Abreu integrated API/XML offers on your website

If you are thinking to connect your website with travel suppliers like Abreu, you must take into consideration some important details:

1. Capable website

You need to have a capable website platform, so platforms like Wordpress would be very difficult or impossible to use.

• With this purpose, we’ve created Travitude website platform - a dedicated website which incorporates a booking engine module with already integrated travel suppliers, like Abreu.

In Travitude travel booking engine & website platform, we provide an XML feed, incorporating the entire Abreu inventory, including the rates, availabilities, images and hotels’ descriptions.

What’s so interesting is that Abreu offers will be displayed on your own Travitude website. By simply making a search on your website, you will be able to see all the offers updated in real-time.

This would help your travel agency to automate the online selling process for accommodations.

Your travellers can search, book and pay online by card and all the reservations will go straight to Abreu.

2. Use dedicated platforms

You need to know that it is very expensive to integrate XML/API suppliers by yourself; so, we recommend using dedicated platforms, such as Travitude.

3. API credentials

After you created the necessary “foundation” (integration of Abreu into the website), you need to set up a commercial agreement with it, in order to obtain your own API credentials, needed for Travitude or other lookalike website platforms.

• Abreu is already integrated into Travitude website and you'll be ready to sell online right after you'll get the API credentials.
• API credentials are unique and the travel supplier use them to identify the travel agency that sends the online reservations.
• Travitude has established strong relationships with all the important travel suppliers, including Abreu, so we will closely guide you through this process.

4. Payment methods

In order for the reservations to go to Abreu, you also need to have set up the online credit card payment option.

• Travitude has already integrated local and worldwide payment processors and it will be an easy process.

5. Now you’re set-up, up-to-date and ready to sell online!
