What is Seatmap.pro?

Seatmap.pro is an enterprise platform for creating, managing, and rendering interactive venue seating charts. Built for ticketing companies, booking platforms, and venue operators, it provides three core components: a visual Editor for designing seat maps of any complexity, a high-performance Booking Renderer (TypeScript SDK available as @seatmap.pro/renderer on npm) that handles WebGL rendering of 10,000+ seats at 60fps, and a Booking API v2 for real-time seat availability, locking, and sales integration. The platform operates as a visualization layer – it never stores prices, sales data, or payment information. Your ticketing system remains the single source of truth. Seatmap.pro supports both cloud SaaS deployment (from EUR 100/month) and fully self-hosted on-premise installation via Docker and Helm charts. It is framework-agnostic and integrates with React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or vanilla JavaScript applications.

A long, long time ago, when the seats were square-shaped and each seat was numbered, UX, and conversion rate terms were something vague for the ticketing. Ticketing giants like TM invested a lot of money and used all their experience to create impressive seating plans for the users.

Nowadays, with thousands of competitors, it takes all the running you can do to stay at the same place. As well as Alice, you have to run twice as fast as now, and you need the right partner.

If you are good at marketing, sales, and ticketing operation and want to compete with the best on the market — you need a perfect, nice looking, informative, convenient seating plans to sell your venues.

is a platform for seating plans creation, management, and efficient seating charts rendering for the ticketing companies.

The most powerful feature of is the possibility of integration with any ticketing system regardless of seating plan supportability.

Let’s go.

Components

contains the following components and services:

  • Editor
    A seating maps editor. Allows creating, editing, and managing your seating plans.
  • Booking
    A JavaScript component embedded into the Sales page. The renderer is responsible for all visualization routines on the client side.
    • Booking Renderer
    • API
  • Admin Renderer
    An events and price management tool. This component is a bridge between schemas and particular seats on an event available for booking. It provides a seamless integration into your Back Office to manage statuses and states.

All the components are designed as a seamless SaaS solution and should be delivered as one product. Unfortunately, we can’t deliver only Renderer due to complex and constantly changing protocols between Renderer and Booking components.

Security concerns

How to separate the seating chart’s visual representation from the complete assignments/booking/sales ticketing cycle?

is a platform only for manipulating seating plans.

We are not:

  • A ticketing company neither a ticketing service.
  • Getting the money from the users. Checkout process is operated completely on your side.
  • Counting how many tickets did you sell. We can see only the seat locks.
  • Getting your prices information. The prices can be abstracted: ‘Price 1’, ‘Price 2’, etc.
