There are three simple steps for the Mapping of Activities:
1. Map the relevant Activities
- Find the product you would like to map ‘Amusement Park’ in the example below and click on CONFIGURE.
- Click on the dropdown under the Connect Your Activities option.
- In this dropdown, you will find a list of Activities from your booking system and you need to map these with the relevant Activity of your Viator.
- Select the desired Activity (“Amusement Park” in the example below) you wish to map.
- Click on the CONTINUE button.
🗒 Hint: You can also map several activities of your booking system to one marketplace activity.

- Lastly, click on the SAVE button
- If you want to map the Ticket Category manually Please, see [Step 3 Map the Ticket Category ]
3. Map the Ticket category
To make your mapping faster and easier we applied the auto-mapping feature on the Ticket Category. That’s why we put an Auto Mapping button which is used to On/Off the auto mapping feature for Ticket Category.
How to map the Ticket Category manually-
I upload a GIF image that will tell you how to map the Ticket category if the auto mapping feature doesn’t work for you. For Example, #Adult will be a map with Adult type, #Child will be a map with Child type, etc.
- Click on the Adult Ticket category under Step 2: Map Ticket Categories.
- Click on the + button on the right side under Available for mapping ticket categories.
- Click on the SAVE button.
- Then repeat the above three steps for the remaining Ticket Categories,
Note – To run the auto-mapping feature of the Ticket category correctly, please create the same name for the Ticket types on both ends (For Example Adult, Child, Infant, Senior, Student, etc)
After completing the mapping on ExperienceBank, you will also have to complete the mapping on the Viator Extranet. Please click on the link to visit – How to connect your product on Viator Extranet.
