## Where the money goes, and how refunds work.

Buyers pay on Square's payment page and the money goes to your Square location. SeatLayer reads each payment back from Square before a sale confirms, and never holds the money. Refunds you make in Square come back to SeatLayer on their own.

1. Picks seats on your site and pays on Square's page.
2. The ticket money lands here and pays out on Square's schedule.
3. Records the order and emails QR and PDF tickets. Charges $0.50 per ticket.
4. Refund in SeatLayer or in Square. Square refunds sync back.

## Every Square sale comes with the whole seated event.

The gateway takes the payment. Everything around it is SeatLayer, on the same seat map.

- A seat map on your website WordPress, Wix or any HTML page. Seats held with a countdown while the buyer pays.
- 3D on every chart Buyers look from their seat before they pay, with no extra charge.
- Box office and door Staff sell from the same live map as your website. Take the card on your own Square reader and record the sale as card at the box office.
- Build from your floor plan Click your plan into a chart, or start from one of 58 templates.

## Square ticketing questions.

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

### Can I sell reserved-seat tickets with Square?

Yes. Connect your Square account, assign it to an event, and put the seat map on your website. Buyers pick seats, pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay on Square's page, and get QR and PDF tickets by email.

### Which currencies does Square support on SeatLayer?

USD, CAD, GBP, AUD, JPY and EUR. Payments go to the Square location you connect, in that location's currency.

### How much does it cost to sell tickets with Square on SeatLayer?

SeatLayer charges $0.50 per confirmed ticket, with the first 25 free and no subscription. Square charges its usual card fee for your account. There is no percentage of the ticket price.

### Can I keep using my Square reader at the box office?

Yes. The SeatLayer box office sells from the same live seat map as your website and records how the buyer paid. Take the card on your own Square reader and record the sale as card; the box office does not charge cards itself.

### Do refunds made in Square update SeatLayer?

Yes. SeatLayer listens for Square refund events and reads each refund back from Square, so refunds you make in your Square dashboard reach the order in SeatLayer.

### Can I test Square before going live?

Yes. Use the Sandbox access token and a Sandbox webhook for test events. Test tickets are marked as not valid for entry, and test and live connections sit side by side.

## Sell seated events on your own Square account.

Connect Square, assign it to an event, and sell from your website, the counter and the door. The first 25 tickets are free.
