SeatLayer vs Ticket Tailor questions
Still have a question? or email hello@seatlayer.io.
What is the difference between SeatLayer and Ticket Tailor?
Both sell seated events on your own website. SeatLayer builds its own seat map engine, connects 14 payment gateways against Ticket Tailor's 3, opens every chart in 3D with a view from each seat, and lets you put the same seat map inside your own product with the SDK on the same account.
Which payment gateways does each one support?
SeatLayer supports Stripe, PayPal, Square, Braintree, Authorize.Net, Checkout.com, Mollie, Razorpay, Tap, Mercado Pago, Xendit, Flutterwave, Paystack and iyzico. Ticket Tailor lists Stripe, PayPal and Square. Buyers pay your own account in both, and each gateway sets its own fees.
Does Ticket Tailor have a 3D seat map?
We found no 3D seat map on Ticket Tailor's own pages. SeatLayer opens every chart in 3D on every plan, and buyers can look from any seat before they pay.
How fast can I build a seating chart from my floor plan?
Upload the plan image or PDF and click it. One click on a block of printed seats adds every seat in it, and on a large venue each click adds a section with its seats. You review the chart before publishing.
Can I put the SeatLayer seat map inside my own app later?
Yes. Keep the same account and the same chart, create new events under the SDK and embed the seat picker in your web or mobile app with your own checkout.
How much does SeatLayer cost?
$0.50 per confirmed ticket, with the first 25 free and no subscription. Your gateway charges its own processing fee. On the SDK path, every organization gets 100 free sold seats a month, then $0.10 down to $0.05 a seat.
Can I keep my Stripe, PayPal or Square account?
Yes. SeatLayer supports all three, plus 11 more gateways. Connect the account you already use on the Payments page and buyers pay into it directly.
Does SeatLayer work on WordPress and Wix?
Yes. Use the free WordPress plugin, or paste one block into Wix, Squarespace, Webflow or any HTML page. Buyers pick seats and pay without leaving your site.
