The official SeatLayer plugin brings interactive reserved seating to WordPress. Buyers can explore a real venue map, see current availability and prices, choose exact seats or ask for the best seats together, and continue to secure checkout.
Install from WordPress.org · Read the integration guide · Open the SeatLayer dashboard
- Interactive venue maps with live seat availability
- Exact-seat selection with section, row, seat, and price details
- Best-available seating for buyers who want the closest group together
- Ticket tiers, prices, and active offers shown in the selection journey
- Temporary seat holds that protect the buyer while they check out
- Responsive controls designed for desktop and mobile screens
- Stripe or Razorpay payment through the organizer's connected account
- Email ticket confirmation after a completed order
Seat availability, holds, prices, offers, and order totals remain authoritative on SeatLayer's servers. The WordPress page presents the experience without duplicating ticketing state in the WordPress database.
- Add a chart with the SeatLayer seating chart block
- Use
[seatlayer_chart event="ev_..."]in shortcode-based builders - Select events from a dropdown after adding an optional SeatLayer secret key
- Keep using event keys without storing a secret key in WordPress
- Load the SeatLayer browser SDK only on pages that contain a seating chart
- Manage venue layouts, ticket types, pricing, offers, orders, and issued tickets from the SeatLayer dashboard
The chart runs on the WordPress page. After choosing seats, the buyer continues to SeatLayer's hosted buyer page to complete checkout. This requires the least WordPress configuration and remains the automatic fallback.
Enable Let buyers pay without leaving this site under Settings → SeatLayer. Razorpay opens on the page; Stripe opens its secure checkout and returns the buyer to the original WordPress page. The site's exact origin must be registered as an embed domain in SeatLayer.
- Install and activate SeatLayer Seating Charts from WordPress.org.
- Create a venue, chart, event, ticket tiers, and any offers in the SeatLayer dashboard.
- Connect Stripe or Razorpay under Payments.
- Add the SeatLayer seating chart block to a WordPress page.
- Enter or select the event and publish the page.
The public chart needs only the event key. A SeatLayer secret key is optional and is used server-side only to populate the block editor's event dropdown.
[seatlayer_chart event="ev_123" locale="en" currency="USD"]

external-service disclosures, and frequently asked questions.
The plugin intentionally has no runtime Composer or npm dependency. WordPress's HTTP layer handles the small server-side API surface, while the public seating experience loads SeatLayer's version-pinned browser SDK only when required.
Run the focused local checks:
for file in seatlayer.php uninstall.php includes/*.php; do php -l "$file"; done
node --check assets/js/frontend.js
node --check assets/js/block.js
php tests/settings-logic.php
node tests/frontend-options.jsSee CONTRIBUTING.md for contribution guidance and RELEASE.md for the release procedure.
GitHub is the source of truth. Publishing a non-prerelease GitHub Release runs the focused checks, validates that the release tag matches the plugin and stable versions, deploys that tag to the required WordPress.org SVN repository, and attaches the installable ZIP to the GitHub Release.
WordPress.org still uses SVN behind the scenes; maintainers do not need to run the normal SVN synchronization manually.
