Third-Party Integrations (TravelTek)

CruiseAppy integrates with TravelTek to provide real-time cruise data, pricing, and booking capabilities. This integration ensures that users and agents have access to the latest cruise offerings and availability directly within the platform.

Integration Features

  • Booking Integration: Bookings made in CruiseAppy are transmitted to TravelTek for processing and confirmation.
  • Error Handling: All API interactions include robust error handling and retries to ensure reliability.
  • Data Mapping: CruiseAppy maps TravelTek data structures to its own models for consistency and validation.
  • Authentication: Secure API keys and credentials are managed in the WordPress admin and used for all TravelTek requests.

Workflow

  1. Data Import: Scheduled or on-demand sync imports cruise data from TravelTek.
  2. User Search: Users search for cruises; results include real-time data from TravelTek.
  3. Booking: When a booking is made, details are sent to TravelTek and confirmation is returned.
  4. Updates: Any changes (cancellations or modifications) are synced with TravelTek to keep data consistent.
