How it works

From floor plan to sold show floor in four steps

  1. 1Build the floor planUpload the layout you already have or describe it to the AI Floor Plan Assistant, then place, number and size booths with snap-to-grid.
  2. 2Set booth types and pricesCreate booth types with their prices and mark booths open, reserved or sold. AI-assisted dynamic pricing can move prices inside the limits you set.
  3. 3Publish and sellPublish the interactive map to your event site. Exhibitors pick a space, check out and get their invoice without a back-and-forth email.
  4. 4Run the showExhibitors manage profiles, staff and assets in their portal, attendees find booths on the live map, and sales reports update as you sell.

FAQ

These are some of the most common questions about registration, payments, ticket types, and running onsite check-in more smoothly.

Does Map D include built-in event ticketing software?

Yes—sell tickets, add-ons and group packages from the same dashboard powering your floor plan and app.

What fees are charged per ticket?

No Map D ticket fees. Organizers can add their own booking fee and tax, and pass card processing costs to buyers or absorb them.

Which payment gateways can we use?

Stripe, Authorize.Net (including ACH), PayPal, Payflow Pro, NMI, BluePay, and QuickBooks Payments are supported.

Can we create discount codes or group rates?

Unlimited promo codes, tiered pricing and bulk discounts are built in for marketing flexibility.

Is the platform PCI-DSS compliant?

Card payments are handled by PCI-compliant payment gateways through hosted fields and tokenization, so card numbers never reach Map D or your servers. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Can attendees transfer or refund tickets?

Organizers can enable self-service transfers and refunds within preset rules, saving staff time.

Does ticketing sync with on-site check-in?

Yes. Every sold ticket has a Scan Code, printed on its badge as a QR code or barcode, and the Map D scanner app checks it in at the door and at sessions and can print badges on the spot.
