Picking seats only marks them in the buyer's browser. They are held once SeatsChart accepts the hold, which also starts the hold timer; your server confirms the booking after payment.

Built for your integration.
Only one buyer can hold a seat. The first hold wins at once, and the other buyer is told the seat was just taken so they can choose another.
The seat map reconnects by itself and reloads the current availability, so the buyer never acts on an outdated map.
Add a script tag and a div, or use the React, React Native, Vue or Angular component. Your server creates a short-lived buyer token, so your API key never leaves your server.
Draw it in the designer, fix anything its checks flag, then publish. Events use the published version, and you can keep editing a draft without affecting them.
