Money and refunds

Where the money goes.

Your gateway takes the payment. SeatLayer issues the tickets. The two never mix.

  1. Buyer

    Picks seats and pays on your gateway's own payment page.

    Stalls F5–6$90.00
  2. Your gateway account

    The ticket money lands here and pays out on your gateway's schedule.

    Payment received+$90.00
  3. SeatLayer

    Records the order and emails QR and PDF tickets. Charges $0.50 per ticket from your ticket balance.

    2 tickets sent−$1.00
  4. The door

    Scans the ticket, whichever gateway was used.

The ticket money and SeatLayer's charge never mix: buyers pay your gateway, and SeatLayer bills its $0.50 a ticket to you separately, never on the buyer's payment.

Payment questions organizers ask first.

7 questions

No. Buyers pay into your own gateway account and the money settles there on your gateway's schedule. SeatLayer creates the payment on your account and records the order. It is never the merchant of record.

Stripe, PayPal, Square, Braintree, Authorize.Net, Checkout.com, Mollie, Razorpay, Tap, Mercado Pago, Xendit, Flutterwave, Paystack and iyzico. Checkout, tickets and door check-in work the same with every gateway.

Yes. If your country or bank needs a gateway that isn't listed, send us a request and we'll look at adding it. Request a gateway.

Yes. Connect one account per currency, and each event uses the connection that matches its currency and mode.

Yes. Connect test keys and live keys side by side. A test event uses the test connection, charges nothing real, and marks its tickets as not valid for entry.

Refund all or part of an order from the dashboard. The money goes back through the gateway the buyer paid with, and a full refund puts the seats back on sale.

$0.50 per confirmed ticket, and every new organization gets 25 tickets free. There is no percentage and no subscription. Your gateway charges its own processing fee.
