SeatLayer Seating Charts

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. Explore the WordPress seating chart features · Try the interactive seat selection demo 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.

1. Install and activate SeatLayer Seating Charts.
2. Request Managed Ticketing access in SeatLayer. Once approved, create and publish a venue chart, then create your Managed event.
3. Connect Stripe or Razorpay under Payments in the SeatLayer dashboard.
4. Add the SeatLayer seating chart block or [seatlayer_chart] shortcode to a WordPress page and enter your event key.
5. Check the seating chart and checkout flow, then publish your event page.

A secret key under Settings → SeatLayer is optional. It enables the editor's event dropdown; the public chart works with the event key alone.
