What is interactive seating chart software?
Interactive seating chart software lets a team design reusable venue geometry, embed current seat availability, create temporary holds, and confirm bookings through an API. SeatLayer supplies that seat-selection layer inside an existing product.
Does the embedded SDK replace my checkout?
No. In an embedded integration, your application keeps buyer identity, checkout, payment, tax, refunds, order records, and ticket delivery. SeatLayer handles venue geometry, seat selection, holds, live inventory, booking, and signed webhooks.
Can SeatLayer host a seated event without an SDK integration?
Yes, for chart-backed seated events. SeatLayer can provide a hosted event page and checkout through a Stripe or Razorpay account the organiser connects, then issue per-seat tickets and support check-in. It is not a general-purpose or general-admission-only ticketing platform.
Does the 3D seat map replace the 2D map?
No. The complete 2D map remains available. Optional 3D uses the same published chart and selection state, loads only after a visitor asks for it, and is offered when WebGL2 and the evaluated browser context support it.
Is SeatLayer a ticketing marketplace?
No. SeatLayer is not a marketplace and is not a general-admission-only ticketing tool. If you already sell through a platform, check what it covers before moving the seat map elsewhere — for example, read what
Eventbrite reserved seating already covers.
How does SeatLayer pricing work?
One credit is used for each newly confirmed sold seat; rendering, holds, releases, house blocks, and unsold inventory are free. The current entry pack is $50 for 500 credits (10¢ each), with no standard subscription or minimum commitment. Purchased credits do not expire, while white-label add-ons and enterprise entitlements are priced separately.
