Busbud/OTA integration

In order to start selling your inventory through Busbud, there are a few steps that are required to follow:

Busbud/OTA Integration within the account

The first step would be to send a request to our support team (support@betterez.com) so our team can enable the Integration Settings for Busbud as a third party reseller.

Enable Busbud payment method

For better tracking of all payments and transactions coming from Busbud, we recommend to set an inperson payment method call Busbud.

Documentation to create/update payment methods.

This can be done in Administration / Payment methods.

You can then enable the configuration you would like for this payment method.

Basic configurations would be, for instance, to have it changeable and cancellable (this is optional based on the account's policies) if you would like clients to be able to cancel or change those tickets in the future.

Channel should be Agency Websales since that would be Busbud category.

Review Busbud agency

You should then review the configuration for Busbud agency and modify any product, fares, commission and any other configuration that they might require accordingly to the individual agreement you have.

Documentation to create/update agencies.

Pricing considerations

It is important to always take into consideration if your current pricing applies to Busbud. The same should be consider for future price modifications.

Examples of this is:

• If there is a specific fare type for Busbud, make sure it is linked to the product they have access to. Documentation to create/update Fare Types.

• In the case of Journey pricing, you need to make sure that there are rules that apply to what Busbud has access to. Example: Price rules restricted by fare type, channels or shift zone.

Busbud does not use shifts so if your price is configured by shift zones you need to update those rules (duplicate them) and make sure that they are not shift zone restricted or Busbud wont have access to them.

Documentation on updating or creating Journey Pricing rules.

Provide IDs

Please make sure to provide Busbud all the required ids they should be using such as payment method, fare types, products, etc...

This same procedure can be applied for any other OTAs such as Wanderu and Distribusion. Make sure the payments used for each OTA are the right ones.
