Side by side

SeatLayer and Ticket Tailor, feature by feature.

Both sell seated events on your own website. The differences are the gateways you can connect, how fast you build the chart, 3D, and what you can do with the same seat map later. For a theatre season, see ticketing for theatres.

Moving from Ticket Tailor

Move your next seated event first.

There is no one-click move. Most organizers build their next seated event on SeatLayer and keep past orders where they are.

What stays behind: past Ticket Tailor orders and attendees stay in Ticket Tailor until you close them.

SeatLayer vs Ticket Tailor questions

8 questions

Both sell seated events on your own website. SeatLayer builds its own seat map engine, supports 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

$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.

Yes. SeatLayer supports all three, plus 11 more gateways. Buyers pay into your account directly.

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.
