## Where the money goes.

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

1. Picks seats and pays on your gateway's own payment page.
2. The ticket money lands here and pays out on your gateway's schedule.
3. Records the order and emails QR and PDF tickets. Charges $0.50 per ticket from your ticket balance.
4. Scans the ticket, whichever gateway was used.

## The same checkout on every gateway.

Buyers see one checkout whichever gateway you connect. Only the payment page at the end changes. Try it.

- Seats held with a countdown while the buyer pays
- Every seat, price and the total in view
- Test mode that charges nothing
- Full or partial refunds from the dashboard

## From keys to a sale in three steps.

The same three steps for every gateway.

1. **Connect** Paste your gateway keys. Test and live connections sit side by side. **Stripe · USD**
2. **Assign** Choose the connection for the event. Its mode and currency must match. **Opening Night · USD**
3. **Sell** Buyers pay on your gateway's page and get their tickets. Refunds go back the same way. **Order 48213377 · $90.00**

## Payment questions organizers ask first.

Still have a question? or email [hello@seatlayer.io](mailto:hello@seatlayer.io).

### Does SeatLayer hold the ticket money?

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.

### Which payment gateways can I use?

Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Tap, Mercado Pago, Xendit and Flutterwave. Checkout, tickets and door check-in work the same with every gateway.

### Can I request a different payment 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](https://seatlayer.io/contact/).

### Can I use a different gateway for each currency?

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

### Can I test before I sell?

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.

### How do refunds work?

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.

### What does SeatLayer charge on top of the gateway?

$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.

## Keep the money in your own account.

Connect a gateway, assign it to an event, and sell from your website, the counter and the door.
