Which free apps can create a small, interactive seating chart?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Request for a free Shopify app to build a small, interactive seating chart for about 50 seats per product. Must visually show taken vs. available seats and allow selection directly from a seat map.

  • Current workaround: product variants. Limitation: no graphic seat map; customers must open each option to check availability.
  • Required features: capture each attendee’s name at checkout; allow one buyer to purchase multiple seats for different people; export or access attendee names after the sale.

Follow‑ups and interest:

  • Others asked whether a seat map solution was ultimately built on Shopify and requested guidance.
  • A participant asked for the source of the example screenshot.
  • Another user shared their email requesting direct contact.

Media: an attached seating chart image is central to understanding the desired UI.

Outcome/status: no app recommendations, implementations, or confirmed solutions were provided. Key questions remain open (which free apps support interactive seat maps with attendee name collection on Shopify).

Is there a free app that I can use for a small seating chart? I need >50 seats per item and a small gui to let users know which seat is taken and which is still available. I’ve tried using variants and that kind of works without the graphic but users would have to select each option to see if it is available or not. Not ideal. Neither is paying for a full ticketing app for less than 50 “seats” per item. Any help would be much appreciated. Something like this is what I had in mind… The names of each person taking the seat is a must as well. I need that data at the conclusion of the sale but would like for one person to be able to purchase multiple seats for multiple people. If that makes any sense…
