Stripe ticketing, with a real seat map.

For venues and organizers: sell tickets with Stripe on your own website. Connect your own Stripe account with one restricted key, put a seat map on your page, and buyers pay on Stripe's secure checkout page. The money settles in your Stripe account.

$0.50 a ticket, first 25 free. No percentage.
Stripe charges its usual card fee for your account, the same as on any other Stripe sale.

Also works with PayPal, Square and 11 more gateways.

Setup

Connect Stripe in three steps.

To sell tickets with Stripe there is no webhook to copy and no code. The whole connection is one key.

  1. 1In Stripe

    Give it four permissions: Checkout Sessions write, Refunds write, Webhook Endpoints write, and Basic Business Contact Information read.

  2. 2Settings → Payments

    Paste the key and choose Connect Stripe. SeatLayer checks each permission against Stripe and shows Granted or Missing for each one.

  3. 3Event setup

    Choose the Stripe connection for the event. SeatLayer creates the payment webhook on your account, so sales and refunds report back on their own.

Money and refunds

Where the money goes, and how refunds work.

Buyers pay on Stripe Checkout and the money stays in your Stripe account, paid out on Stripe's schedule. SeatLayer never holds it. Refund a whole order or part of it from SeatLayer, or refund in your Stripe dashboard: a full refund puts the seats back on sale and a partial refund leaves them sold.

  1. Buyer

    Picks seats on your site and pays on Stripe's page.

    Stalls F5–6$90.00
  2. Your Stripe account

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

  4. Refunds

    Refund in SeatLayer or in Stripe. A full refund puts the seats back on sale.

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.

Cost

What you pay on a $50 seated ticket.

SeatLayer charges $0.50 per confirmed ticket, seated or not, and nothing on the ticket price. Stripe charges its usual card fee for your account, the same as on any other Stripe sale.
