Description
Avantio offers you an XML Web API solution that allows you to build a fully customized website, using your property data as the central engine. This tool is designed for agencies with an expert web development team (in-house or external) and are ready to invest in a custom digital project.
Choose your integration level
Every project is unique. That's why Avantio offers two levels of integration so you can choose the one that best suits your resources and goals.
Partial connection
The ideal option if you're looking for a customized website without taking on the complexity of managing payments directly.
How does it work?
Your development team uses Avantio's XML data files to build a website with a unique design and user experience. When the guest is ready to pay, they are securely redirected to Avantio's booking engine, which handles both the payment and final confirmation.
Main advantages
Maximum security: you do not manage or store card data. Avantio takes on the burden of PCI security compliance.
Faster and more economical development: your team focuses on the visible part of the web, without needing to implement the complex payment gateway.
Full connection
The ultimate alternative if you want to control 100% of the booking and payment experience.
How does it work?
Your development team uses both the XML files and Avantio's real-time web services to build not only the website but also your own checkout and payment system. Booking confirmation is done in real-time with Avantio.
Main advantages
Absolute control: the end customer does not leave your website, ensuring a fully consistent brand experience.
Unlimited flexibility: you can develop custom functionalities without restrictions.
Important considerations
This option requires a significant investment, as it involves much higher development and maintenance costs.
Cost and support
The Web API has an activation cost and a maintenance fee. This fee covers the use of the infrastructure and access to Avantio's specialized technical support team, who will assist your programmers throughout the integration process.
The Avantio Web API gives you the ability to create fully customized web pages, tailored to your growth needs. With options for partial or full integration, you'll have security, flexibility, and specialized support to ensure your digital project reaches the level of control and professionalism your business needs.
