OnceThere is a booking marketplace that helps experience providers manage online reservations and reach more travelers through local distribution channels. By integrating Xola with OnceThere, you can automatically reflect real-time availability and accept reservations directly from their platform.

How to Get Started
Create a OnceThere Account
To begin, you’ll need a OnceThere account. You can sign up with them here.
Install the Integration in Xola
- Go to the App Store in Xola.
- Locate the OnceThere app and click Install.
Configure Your Experiences
- Click Visit Settings Page or go to Settings > Apps > OnceThere > Configure.
- Select the experiences you want OnceThere to access. This gives OnceThere permission to view the selected experiences' availability.
Complete the Mapping
-
-
Once enabled, OnceThere will contact Xola's integrations team to finalize the mapping between your products and their system.
-
How It Works
-
Once connected, Xola shares real-time availability for the selected experiences with OnceThere.
-
Travelers can then book those experiences directly through OnceThere’s website and partner channels.
-
Reservations made on OnceThere are pushed automatically into your Xola account.
-
Note: While the experience availability is shared automatically, mapping the products between Xola and OnceThere must be completed manually by OnceThere’s API team.
Tips for Success
-
After selecting your experiences in Xola, reach out to the OnceThere team to initiate and complete the mapping process.
-
Ensure the experiences you share are configured properly in Xola (no unsupported pricing structures or manual accept settings).
-
Double-check reservation behavior after integration by doing a test booking with OnceThere’s team.
