SeatLayer Seating Charts

ማብራሪያ

SeatLayer is a WordPress seating chart plugin for selling event tickets with
reserved seats. Add an interactive seat map to a page or post, let visitors
choose where they sit, and accept payment through your connected Stripe or
Razorpay account.

Build theatre, auditorium, concert and dinner-show seating plans in SeatLayer,
then publish them on WordPress with a Gutenberg block or shortcode.

Interactive seat maps and reserved seating

• Numbered seats and venue sections. Show row, seat, section, price and
  availability for exact-seat selection.
• Tables, booths and general-admission areas. Combine reserved rows with
  other seating and capacity areas in one published venue chart.
• Accessible seating and multiple floors. Show your configured seat labels
  and floor layouts.
• Best Available for groups. Find a suitable group together using
  best-available seat selection.

3D seat views and mobile seat selection

Buyers can switch between the map and interactive 3D on supported browsers
and devices, with a full 2D fallback. Explore SeatLayer’s
3D seating charts.

The responsive picker adapts to the space on your page, with touch selection,
pinch-to-zoom and a mobile selection summary. Chart branding and category
colours come from your SeatLayer venue configuration.

Live availability, ticket types and checkout holds

• Live seat availability updates as inventory changes.
• Ticket types and category pricing show the options configured for the
  event, such as Adult, Child or Senior tickets.
• Active event offers appear in the buyer journey when configured in
  SeatLayer.
• Temporary seat holds protect the selected inventory during checkout,
  with a countdown and automatic release when a hold expires.
• Confirmed bookings and ticket emails follow successful payment through
  the organizer’s connected account.

SeatLayer manages inventory, payment totals and bookings centrally, without
duplicating ticket inventory in your WordPress database.

Gutenberg block and seating chart shortcode

Add the SeatLayer seating chart block in the WordPress editor, or use:

[seatlayer_chart event="your-event" height="720" max_selection="6"]

Set the event, height, maximum seat selection, locale and currency.
The block supports wide/full alignment where your theme provides it. Currency
is a display fallback; the event’s configured prices remain authoritative.

Enter an event key or use an optional server-side secret key for an event
dropdown. Scripts and styles load only on pages containing a chart.

See the WordPress seat map setup guide
for block settings and shortcode options.

Accept payments through Stripe or Razorpay

Hosted checkout: buyers continue from seat selection to SeatLayer’s hosted
event page and pay through your connected account.

Checkout from your WordPress page: enable Let buyers pay without leaving
this site under Settings → SeatLayer. Razorpay opens on the page; Stripe
opens its secure checkout and returns the buyer to the WordPress page.
This needs in-page checkout access and a registered embed domain. Hosted
checkout remains the fallback.

Manage venue layouts, events, ticket prices, offers, orders and ticket delivery
in the SeatLayer dashboard.

Account requirements and service pricing

You need an approved SeatLayer Managed Ticketing account, a published
reserved-seat chart, a Managed event and a connected payment account.
Request Managed access before opening sales.

The WordPress plugin is free to install. SeatLayer’s hosted service has usage
charges, and your payment provider has its own fees. See
Managed Ticketing pricing for current rates.

External services

This plugin connects to SeatLayer’s hosted seating and ticketing service. It
requires a SeatLayer account. These services are contacted during use:

SeatLayer CDN (cdn.seatlayer.io)

Loads the seating-chart renderer only on pages containing a chart, from
https://cdn.seatlayer.io/seatlayer-js@0.80.3/seatlayer.js.
The browser sends its normal IP address, user agent and referrer; the plugin
adds no visitor data to that script request.

SeatLayer API (api.seatlayer.io)

On chart load, fetches the layout and live availability. During selection and
checkout, creates seat holds and payment sessions. Requests include the event
key and selected inventory; payment also needs the buyer’s email and optional
name. Payment starts with the hold ID, and SeatLayer computes the amount from
its records. Optional in-page checkout sends the page URL for a return to a
registered embed domain.

If an administrator saves a secret key, the WordPress server uses it to list
events in the block editor. That key is not sent to visitors.

SeatLayer hosted buyer page (app.seatlayer.io)

For hosted checkout, redirects the buyer to
https://app.seatlayer.io/e/EVENT?hold=HOLD_ID after seat selection.
The URL carries the event key and hold ID, not an amount or buyer details.

Stripe or Razorpay

After seat selection, processes payment through the organizer’s connected
account. SeatLayer sends the amount, currency and buyer email needed for
payment. Card details go directly to the payment provider and never pass
through this plugin or your WordPress database.
