SeatKit
Description
SeatKit is a professional seat booking and ticket reservation plugin for WordPress.
It is designed for businesses that sell fixed seats, such as bus operators, event organizers, cinemas, theaters, and tour providers.
SeatKit follows a payment-verified booking flow, ensuring that seats are confirmed only after successful payment verification from the gateway. This prevents double bookings and maintains inventory accuracy even during high traffic.
