Stachethemes Seat Planner is a WooCommerce extension for selling assigned seats from interactive floor plans – built for theaters, cinemas, event spaces, and venues that want professional seat booking without enterprise stadium ticketing complexity.
Customers pick seats on a live map; WooCommerce handles cart, checkout, coupons, and orders. You manage layouts, pricing, multiple show dates, box-office sales, check-in, and reporting from one plugin.
