# Seat & Space Reservation Map documentation | WebKoding How to install, licence and update Seat & Space Reservation Map. Upload a floor plan. Draw the seats. Take reservations. Source: https://webkodingtheme.com/docs/seatmap/ --- # Seat & Space Reservation Map documentation Upload a floor plan. Draw the seats. Take reservations. Back to Seat & Space Reservation Map Open the demo ## Before you start - •WordPress 6.0 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer - •WooCommerce 7.0 or newer if you want people to pay; not required if you only take reservations - •A floor plan image — PNG, JPG or SVG ## What it does not do - —It does not process payments on its own. Charging for a seat requires WooCommerce and your own gateway; without one it takes reservations rather than money. - —It does not manage staff rotas, kitchens or table service. It ends at the booking. - —It does not integrate with an external booking channel or an OTA. Bookings live on your site. ## What is in the download The plugin ZIP, which works with or without WooCommerce. The reservation form is built in, so a site with no shop is a supported configuration rather than a workaround. GPL source. Seat Map is the oldest product in this catalogue and the one most often extended by the people who buy it. ## Installing it Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, activate, then paste the licence key from your purchase email. If you intend to charge for seats, install and configure WooCommerce first and confirm a test order completes. Bought on CodeCanyon instead? Updates and support run through your Envato account and the item page there, not through this site. ## Drawing a map Rectangles are quicker; polygons are for the seats that are not rectangles. It is worth spending the extra ten minutes on polygons for an oddly shaped room, because the map is doing the explaining that your booking form used to do badly. Prices and capacities are per seat, so a front row can cost more than a back row without creating a second map. Opening hours and closed days belong to the map, and time slots to the seat. Place the map with the block or the shortcode. Several maps on one site is normal — one per floor, per screen, or per day of the week. ## Licence, updates and support - One licence covers 1 WordPress site. - 1 year of updates, from the date of purchase. - 1 year of email support. - Instant download + licence key by email - 30-day money-back guarantee Questions this page does not answer go to support@webkoding.com .

No. There are two routes on purpose: WooCommerce checkout when you are charging, and a built-in reservation form when you are not. A restaurant taking free table bookings does not need a shop. ### Does availability update without reloading the page? Yes. Availability is checked live, so two people looking at the same map do not both take the last table. ### Can seats be booked by time slot rather than for the whole day? Yes — opening hours, closed days and per-seat time slots are all set on the map, which is what makes it usable for a restaurant service or a coworking desk as well as a cinema screening. ### How do I put the map on a page? A Gutenberg block or a shortcode, whichever suits your theme. Both render the same map. ### Can I see the bookings as a list? A list, a calendar view, and a CSV export. The calendar is usually what the person on the door wants; the CSV is what the accountant wants.
