TripAdvisor Experiences is powered by Viator—so a single Levy connection puts your scooters, e-bikes, and guided tours in front of both audiences. Live availability that cannot oversell, and every booking lands as a real reservation.

Why This Integration Is Worth More Than One
Viator is TripAdvisor's experiences brand. The same inventory that appears under “Things to do” on a TripAdvisor city page is Viator inventory. That is why connecting Levy once is the whole job—your products reach travelers on two of the largest travel audiences on the internet without you maintaining two of anything.
TripAdvisor is one of the most visited travel sites in the world, and people arrive there in planning mode—reading reviews, comparing neighborhoods, deciding what a Tuesday afternoon looks like. Your rental or tour shows up at exactly that moment, bookable on the spot.
Nobody browses “things to do in Charleston” by accident. This is top-of-funnel discovery with a credit card already out.
What The Integration Does
You are the supplier. Levy holds the inventory, answers the marketplace's availability calls, accepts the booking, and turns it into a reservation on your own calendar—the same role FareHarbor or Bokun plays, with a connected fleet underneath it.
Capacity is your inventory caps minus confirmed reservations minus every in-flight hold, including your own website checkout. It is taken at reserve, not at confirm, so two channels cannot sell the last scooter in the same second.
A marketplace booking lands as a real Levy reservation with a vehicle, a time window, and a customer record. No re-keying, no exported spreadsheet, no second calendar to maintain.
Sell fixed-duration rentals like a 4-hour e-bike, and per-person timed tour departures with real seat counts. Both product shapes are native, not bolted on.
Gross, commission, and net are recorded separately on every booking. Commission-percentage and fixed net-rate contracts are both supported, and the three always reconcile to the cent.
Cap how much of the fleet this channel may ever consume. Published availability is already net of that ceiling, so the channel simply never sees what you held back.
Every product code maps to a specific vehicle model or tour schedule. An unmapped code is refused, never guessed—because guessing hands a traveler the wrong vehicle.
The Flow
Eight things have to happen between a traveler paying on a marketplace and riding away on your e-bike. On Levy all eight are one system—and because this connection books in a single call, the first six of them are one HTTP request.

Steps 01–06 all happen inside that single request. Steps 07 and 08 happen later, on their own.
TripAdvisor Experiences is Viator inventory, so the booking arrives on the Viator Supplier API connection Levy already serves. It is a single call — there is no separate reserve step — and the booking reference doubles as the idempotency key.
POST /api/channels/viator/v1/bookingThe requested start must match a slot your calendar actually publishes. Capacity is your inventory caps minus overlapping reservations minus every in-flight hold — including Levy's own checkout.
The hold is written inside a locked Postgres transaction that re-counts reservations and live holds in the same breath. Two requests for the last vehicle cannot both pass.
channel_reserve_pooled_capacity()Because no second call is coming, confirmation runs immediately after the hold and the traveler gets an answer on the spot. A retried booking reference returns the original booking rather than selling a second vehicle.
The same calendar your walk-ups and website checkouts use, with gross, commission, and net recorded on it. The hold is consumed only after the reservation exists, so nothing can slip into the gap.
A check-in link collects the missing email and phone number and gets your rental agreement signed before pickup. It never turns away a traveler who has already paid.
No counter, no key handoff. Live GPS, geofencing, and automatic ride billing run for the rest of the rental, and the vehicle locks itself at the end.
Weeks later the remittance arrives. Every line is matched, flagged as a variance, or surfaced as a confirmed booking the statement left out entirely.
Reserve, confirm, and release each run inside a locked database function rather than as read-then-write in application code. That is the difference between an oversell that is unlikely and one that cannot happen.
If the confirm half of that call cannot complete, the booking is handed back to reserved instead of being left in limbo, and a guarded sweep returns the capacity to inventory minutes later. It runs every few minutes, and it cannot release the same hold twice.
The Difference
FareHarbor, Bokun, Rezdy and the rest hand you a confirmed booking and a name on a list. What happens next—keys, paperwork, a person waiting at a counter—is your problem. Levy is the one where the booking is attached to a connected vehicle.
A booking-only system
The same booking on Levy
Traveler Check-In
A traveler arrives with a booking reference, a first name, and no signed rental agreement. Levy issues a check-in link on confirmation that collects the missing contact details and gets the agreement signed before pickup.
Check-in is never a wall. The traveler already paid the marketplace—so a missing phone number chases them, it does not strand them at your counter.
Collects the email, phone, and party details the marketplace never passed along.
Your rental agreement is signed digitally before the traveler touches a vehicle.
Each traveler gets their own customer profile instead of collapsing into a shared guest account.
Prepaid travelers are never asked to pay again and never refused for missing data.

The Money
The traveler pays the marketplace. The marketplace remits net of commission weeks later on a statement. Levy records gross, commission, and net separately on every booking, so the amount you are owed is a number you already have before the statement arrives.
Both contract shapes
Commission-percentage and fixed net-rate agreements are both first-class. The split always reconciles to the cent.
Line-by-line reconciliation
Import a statement and every line is matched against a booking, with variances flagged rather than quietly absorbed.
It catches omissions
The line that costs operators money is the one that is not there. Confirmed bookings a statement skipped are surfaced, not lost.
How It Works
Add the channel from your Levy dashboard and set the commission your marketplace contract specifies. Levy mints an API key for your connection and shows it once.
Point each product code at a vehicle model or a tour schedule, with duration, start times, and an inventory ceiling. Unmapped codes are refused rather than guessed.
Availability answers in real time, bookings arrive as reservations, travelers check in, and vehicles unlock at pickup. You keep running one calendar.
Levy speaks OCTO, the open connectivity standard the travel industry uses for tourism inventory, alongside marketplace-native formats. That means the work you do to reach TripAdvisor and Viator is the same work that reaches the next channel you add.
Questions
Yes. TripAdvisor Experiences is powered by Viator, so the products you distribute through Levy surface across both. You build one connection, map your products once, and maintain one calendar.
No. Availability is calculated live from your inventory caps minus confirmed reservations minus every in-flight hold — from other channels and from Levy's own checkout. Capacity is taken at reserve, not at confirm, so two marketplaces cannot sell the same vehicle in the same second.
No. A marketplace booking becomes a real Levy reservation automatically, on the same calendar your walk-ups, phone bookings, and website checkouts use. There is no second system to reconcile.
Both. Levy sells fixed-duration rentals such as a four-hour e-bike, and per-person timed tour departures with real seat counts. Each product maps explicitly to a vehicle model or a tour schedule.
Every booking records gross, commission, and net separately. When the remittance statement arrives, Levy reconciles it line by line — flagging variances and, just as importantly, confirmed bookings the statement left out entirely.
A per-channel inventory ceiling. You decide how many vehicles or seats this channel may ever consume, and availability is published net of that cap.
Operator implementation snapshot
TripAdvisor and Viator demand lands in the same reservation view, so staff do not have to distinguish between two handoff processes at pickup.
Without the connected workflow
The source marketplace can become an operational distinction even though the same inventory, staff, and pickup location fulfill the ride.
