April 9, 2026: Paid Response Editing and Seating Charts

RSVPify now gives event organizers two powerful tools to manage registrations with greater flexibility: the ability for guests to edit their paid responses after checkout, and a seating chart builder to assign and organize guests by table (or any other groupings!).

What's New

Managing guest changes has always been one of the more friction-heavy parts of event administration. When an attendee needed to adjust their ticket count or update their response, organizers were stuck handling it manually.

With this release, guests can now return to their response and make edits after a paid submission, and organizers gain a seating tool to assign guests to specific tables and seats.

Paid Response Editing

Guests can return to their submitted response and modify their ticket quantity or other details. The system automatically recalculates the total based on the change. If they add paid items, they pay only the difference.

Refunds for reductions are handled directly between the guest and the host, keeping the checkout process clean and auditable.

Don't want to allow edits? No worries! Go to Event Settings > Security and disable the "Allow guests to edit their response" option.

Seating Charts

Seating charts give organizers a workspace to assign guests to tables and seats. Create a new chart from the Seating Chart section in your event's left navigation, set the number of tables and seats per table, and then drag and drop guests into their assigned spots. Tables can be renamed, annotated with notes, and adjusted for seat count as your event plan evolves. A guest search and filter makes it easy to find unassigned attendees and fill out your floor plan without scrolling through a long list.

Where to Find These Features

Paid Response Editing is enabled by default for all events with paid ticketing. To turn it off, go to your event settings.

Seating Charts are available in the left navigation of any event. Select "Seating Chart," then click "+ New Seating Chart" to get started.
