Six things, one seat map. Design the room, let buyers pick exact seats, run the event, and put it in your own product or let us host it. Everything reads the same published chart, including the interactive seat map buyers use.
Tested on public venue files with simulated buyers, September 2026. How we measured loading · How we measured buyers · Every run on GitHub

dse_)Releasedmse_)ReleasedReserved seating only: a published chart and exact-seat booking are required. GA capacity is supported only inside that reserved-seat chart; pure-GA and chartless events are not supported. Hosted Ticketing is self-serve: connect your payment gateway on the dashboard Payments page.
Build SeatLayer into your own ticketing product, or sell your own events with Hosted Ticketing.
Embed the buyer seat picker, keep your accounts, checkout, payments, orders and tickets, and let SeatLayer run the seat map, holds, live inventory and booking.
Read these sections first: Buyers pick seats, Put it in your product, Questions.
Connect your own payment gateway, then publish a seated event page with hosted checkout, per-seat tickets, box office and check-in. No request or staff approval. No code.

A chart is authored in the Designer and frozen as a reviewed revision. Publishing is a separate, deliberate step, and every surface downstream reads the revision you published.
The picker renders the published chart, prices it by ticket type, finds the best available group, and hands your checkout the exact seats plus a temporary hold. A seating event is handled by one server-side state authority: competing hold requests are ordered there, so one can succeed while a conflicting request receives a conflict response.
Nothing on this page is a mock-up. Load the released SDK against the fixed Grand Theatre v2 fixture; the complete 2D picker mounts first, and optional 3D appears only when this browser supports it.
This demo runs in your browser only, and its 3D view from the seat is a labelled preview. How the demo works.
Watch availability move in real time, block or release seats, sell at the counter and check people in at the door. Box Office, Control Room, blocks, releases, and door activity share event inventory.

Big events rarely sell through one door. Set aside seats for sponsors, agencies, presales and the box office, invite each partner with their own login, and watch every channel sell from the same live seat map. It works whether you sell with SeatLayer or through your own checkout with the SDK.
Buyers pick and hold seats in the browser, your server confirms the booking, and signed webhooks tell you when seats change. On WordPress, use the seating chart plugin.
$ npm install @seatlayer/js import { SeatPicker } from '@seatlayer/js'; const picker = new SeatPicker({ container: '#seat-picker', event: '<YOUR_EVENT_KEY>', publicKey: '<YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY>', onCheckout: (_, __, handoff) => yourCheckout(handoff.holdId), }); picker.render();
AI helps in four places. Every change it makes is a draft a person reviews and publishes.
If you turn it on, a buyer's AI assistant can find seats together within a budget and select them on the map. Payment always stays with the buyer.
Inspect the buyer tools ↗Ask Copilot to change the open chart, or just ask questions about it. Every change is a draft you review.
See Copilot in the Designer →Claude or another MCP client can edit one chart you allow. Publishing stays with you.

Reserved seating only: every event needs a seat map. Standing areas work inside that map.
