Your venue's courts

An organization can sell court time through the app. Everything lives under Menu → My organizations → your organization → Settings, in six tabs: General · Agenda · Courts · Pricing · Booking · Finance. Only whoever administers the organization gets in. The order of work is this: register the courts, build the prices, turn booking on, and then live in the Agenda.

​

Courts

Add court asks for a name, the sports it hosts (the same sand court can serve beach tennis, volleyball and footvolley), the surface (sand, clay, hard, grass, synthetic, wood or other), the features (covered, lights, indoor), the player capacity (optional) and a photo. Opening hours are per weekday: tap a day to open or close it, adjust the window, or use Apply to every day. Each day takes up to six windows of at least one hour. Closures take the court off the grid for a period (maintenance, private event, holiday), with a reason. Each organization registers up to 30 courts. They show on the organization’s public page, with the weekly hours.

​

Pricing

A price rule covers court × weekdays × time range × duration. With no duration, the price is per hour and applies proportionally to any duration; with one, the rule covers that duration only. Each rule can carry a member price, which the organization’s members see instead of the standard one. When more than one rule covers the same time, the highest priority wins; on a tie, the lower price. The How much does it cost? panel simulates a combination of court, day, start and duration, and the Open hours with no price list shows what is left uncovered.

​

Booking

The Booking tab is where paid booking is turned on and off. To turn it on, the app requires four things, and lists what is missing:

• the organization has a manager;
• the organization owner has connected Mercado Pago (that is the account the money lands in);
• the time zone is set — the app detects it from the address under General, or you type it in;
• the cancellation policy is filled in.

The other settings:

• Grid step (30 or 60 minutes) and sellable durations, which must be multiples of the step.
• Booking window: how far ahead a player can book (1 to 180 days).
• Minimum notice: how close to the start a player can still book.
• Cancellation policy: how many hours before the start a player can cancel with a full refund, plus a note they read before paying. After the deadline there is no refund. The policy that applies to each booking is the one published when the player paid — changing it later does not reach whoever already booked.
• Split between players: whether a player can split the cost, and the share deadline (hours before the start). Whoever books is the guarantor: whatever is missing at the deadline becomes a charge to them, and if they do not settle it by 2 hours before the start the booking falls, with a full refund to everyone.

​

Agenda

The Agenda shows the week (or the day) of one court or all of them, with the legend: player booking, walk-in booking, block and held slot (payment in progress). Tapping a free slot offers two actions:

• Block — takes the court off the grid for every sport, with a reason (maintenance, lesson, event). It can repeat every week until a date, skipping taken slots or not.
• Manual booking — for whoever called or walked in. A Matchely player (by name or @username) or a free-text name, sport, start, duration and the agreed amount, which comes from your price rules and can be edited. It does not go through payment in the app: settle it at the venue.

Tapping a booking opens its details — who booked, participants, status, source, amount, paid and refunded, the player’s note — and Cancel booking. Cancelling asks for a reason (the player sees it) and brings the Refund the amount paid switch, on by default: a cancellation by the venue refunds in full, even past the policy deadline. Turned off, the app refunds nothing and settling it is on you. On a weekly block, you can remove just that occurrence or that one and the future ones.

​

Finance

The Finance tab adds up what the bookings moved in the period (this month, last month or custom), for one court or all: Gross, gateway Fee, Estimated net, Refunded and Shares pending from splits. A booking’s fee may arrive after the payment, and the net goes down when it does — the panel says how many are still missing. Download spreadsheet exports the period with date and time, court, owner, participants, source, status, gross, fee, net and refunded. The official statement is the Mercado Pago one, linked from the tab itself.
