Steps
Render the chart with session: 'start' (or 'continue') so seats.io generates a browser-side hold token, or create one programmatically via the Hold Tokens API for server-driven flows.
Use the hold token to temporarily mark selected objects as held so other buyers can't select them during checkout.
Call the book endpoint, referencing the held objects/hold token, once payment succeeds to permanently mark seats as booked.
Let an abandoned hold token expire naturally (or release it explicitly) so seats automatically return to availability.
Use channels instead of hold tokens for long-term, admin-driven holds (e.g. reserving seats for VIPs) rather than the temporary buyer-checkout hold mechanism.
Known gotchas
Hold tokens are temporary and expire automatically — they are not the right tool for a permanent admin-side hold; use channels for that instead.
Booking and holding endpoints belong to the priority rate-limit lane, but chart/event management endpoints do not — know which calls are safe inside a live sales path.
A hold token created client-side (via the renderer) and one created server-side via the API must be passed consistently through checkout, or seats can appear held in the browser without being reserved server-side.
