Connect your Viator account to your indie Dashboard so that your inventory is updated in real-time and your bookings sync to your indie Dashboard.

Once connected, your booking calendar on Viator will display availability directly from indie. When your traveller books via your Viator listing, the booking will be displayed in your indie supplier dashboard.  The availability/inventory will be updated across Viator, and indie Travel and on all your connected OTA channels as well as your indie booking widget (if you are using this).

For Support: Send an email to hello@indietravel.co with a link to your products on Viator or with your account username and our team can help you to finalise the connection.

Step 1:
1.1 You need to create an account with Viator.
1.2 Create your tours within your Viator account.

Step 2:
Establish a Connection with indie
2.1 Request connection in indie
2.2 Request connection in Viator

Step 3:
Connect your Tours

1.1 Create an account with Viator

Creating an account is straightforward; you can register here. You will be asked for your business confirmation documents and your business insurance.

Once approved, you can start adding your first product. Please keep the product name the same as your indie product name for the connection to work.

1.2 Create your tours within your Viator account

Note: The only information exchanged between indie and viators API is Availability and bookings. Viators API does not read the tour listing details (photos, descriptions etc) and so this needs to be loaded directly into Viator first.  

  • You'll be asked for basic information such as Language and title, Categorization, Theme, and Photos.
  • Next, you'll provide product information such as; Meeting & pickup, Tour details, Languages Offered, inclusion & exclusions, What makes your product unique, Information travellers need from you, COVID-19 updates.
  • Schedules and pricing are important sections, as this is the information exchanged between the indie and Viator API. You must replicate what is in your indie tour for the connection to be approved.
  • Finally, you'll be asked for booking and ticket information, payment offers, and connecting to TripAdvisor Listings.
  • Once your tour is ready, you'll be asked to make a Product Quality Review payment. Currently, this is £25.00 GBP per product listing.

3. Connect your Tours


If you haven't yet added your tours to indie you will need to do this first, reach out to hello@indietravel.co if you would like assistance with this.
