Build theatre, auditorium, concert and dinner-show seating plans in SeatLayer,\nthen publish them on WordPress with a Gutenberg block or shortcode.<\/p>\n\n

Explore SeatLayer's\n3D seating charts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The responsive picker adapts to the space on your page, with touch selection,\npinch-to-zoom and a mobile selection summary. Chart branding and category\ncolours come from your SeatLayer venue configuration.<\/p>\n\n SeatLayer manages inventory, payment totals and bookings centrally, without\nduplicating ticket inventory in your WordPress database.<\/p>\n\n Add the SeatLayer seating chart<\/strong> block in the WordPress editor, or use:<\/p>\n\n Set the event, height, maximum seat selection, Enter an event key or use an optional server-side secret key for an event\ndropdown. Scripts and styles load only on pages containing a chart.<\/p>\n\n See the WordPress seat map setup guide<\/a>\nfor block settings and shortcode options.<\/p>\n\n Hosted checkout:<\/strong> buyers continue from seat selection to SeatLayer's hosted\nevent page and pay through your connected account.<\/p>\n\n Checkout from your WordPress page:<\/strong> enable Let buyers pay without leaving\nthis site<\/strong> under Settings \u2192 SeatLayer<\/strong>. Razorpay opens on the page; Stripe\nopens its secure checkout and returns the buyer to the WordPress page.\nThis needs in-page checkout access and a registered embed domain. Hosted\ncheckout remains the fallback.<\/p>\n\n Manage venue layouts, events, ticket prices, offers, orders and ticket delivery\nin the SeatLayer dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n You need an approved SeatLayer Managed Ticketing account, a published\nreserved-seat chart, a Managed event and a connected payment account.\nRequest Managed access before opening sales.<\/p>\n\n The WordPress plugin is free to install. SeatLayer's hosted service has usage\ncharges, and your payment provider has its own fees. See\nManaged Ticketing pricing<\/a> for current rates.<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects to SeatLayer's hosted seating and ticketing service. It\nrequires a SeatLayer account. These services are contacted during use:<\/p>\n\n SeatLayer CDN ( Loads the seating-chart renderer only on pages containing a chart, from\n https:\/\/cdn.seatlayer.io\/seatlayer-js@0.80.3\/seatlayer.js.\nThe browser sends its normal IP address, user agent and referrer; the plugin\nadds no visitor data to that script request.<\/p>\n\n SeatLayer API ( On chart load, fetches the layout and live availability. During selection and\ncheckout, creates seat holds and payment sessions. Requests include the event\nkey and selected inventory; payment also needs the buyer's email and optional\nname. Payment starts with the hold ID, and SeatLayer computes the amount from\nits records. Optional in-page checkout sends the page URL for a return to a\nregistered embed domain.<\/p>\n\n If an administrator saves a secret key, the WordPress server uses it to list\nevents in the block editor. That key is not sent to visitors.<\/p>\n\n SeatLayer hosted buyer page ( For hosted checkout, redirects the buyer to\n https:\/\/app.seatlayer.io\/e\/EVENT?hold=HOLD_ID after seat selection.\nThe URL carries the event key and hold ID, not an amount or buyer details.<\/p>\n\n Stripe or Razorpay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n After seat selection, processes payment through the organizer's connected\naccount. SeatLayer sends the amount, currency and buyer email needed for\npayment. Card details go directly to the payment provider and never pass\nthrough this plugin or your WordPress database.<\/p>\n\n Stripe Privacy Policy<\/a> \u00b7\nRazorpay Privacy Policy<\/a> \u00b7\nSeatLayer Terms of Service<\/a> \u00b7\nSeatLayer Privacy Policy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n A secret key under Settings \u2192 SeatLayer<\/strong> is optional. It enables the\neditor's event dropdown; the public chart works with the event key alone.<\/p>\n\n\n Create and edit venues in the seating chart designer<\/a>,\nthen embed the published chart on WordPress. The plugin provides the buyer\npicker and display settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, within a published chart alongside reserved seats. A pure-GA event\nwithout a chart uses a different ticketing flow.<\/p><\/dd>\n The plugin uses SeatLayer's shared buyer renderer. Try the public\n53,018-seat stadium demo<\/a>\nand read the large-chart renderer measurements<\/a>.\nThese measure the shared renderer; also evaluate your own chart, WordPress\ntheme and target devices before opening sales.<\/p><\/dd>\n It can run on a site that also uses WooCommerce. SeatLayer ticket purchases use\nyour connected Stripe or Razorpay account and do not create WooCommerce cart\nline items or orders.<\/p><\/dd>\n Only one active hold can own a seat; expired holds release inventory for sale.\nIf payment completes after a hold expires and booking fails, SeatLayer refunds\nthe buyer automatically and flags the order.<\/p><\/dd>\n In your WordPress database, used server-side and never sent to visitors.\nDatabase administrators can read it. Leave it blank and enter event keys\ndirectly if you do not want to store it.<\/p><\/dd>\n Developers who need their own buyer controls, cart or payment flow can use the\nJavaScript seat map SDK<\/a> and\nSeatLayer seat booking API<\/a>.\nThe plugin provides the Managed Ticketing flow described above.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nInteractive seat maps and reserved seating<\/h4>\n\n
