Seat maps for developers

Server-backed seat selection for your product

A drop-in seat-map layer for ticketing checkouts. Holds, real-time availability, and concurrency, behind one clean API.

Everything the seat layer needs to do

The hard parts of selling assigned seats — concurrency, real-time state, and a layout editor — handled for you behind a clean API.

Chart editor

Design reusable venue layouts — sections, rows, curved rows, tables, and standing areas — then publish them to as many events as you need.

Holds & concurrency

Atomic, race-safe seat holds with server-managed expiry. Two buyers can never lock the same seat — you skip the distributed-locking logic.

Real-time availability

When one buyer selects a seat, every other viewer of the event sees it become unavailable in under a second over a live WebSocket channel.

Signed webhooks

HMAC-signed delivery for every hold, release, and booking, so your backend stays in sync with seat state without polling the API.

How it works

Three steps from an empty venue to a live, embeddable seat map.

1

Design your chart

Lay out your venue in the visual editor — sections, rows, and categories — and publish it.

2

Publish an event

Create an event against the chart. Each event tracks its own independent seat availability.

3

Embed the SDK

Drop the JavaScript SDK into your checkout and listen for selection events — we manage the seat state.
