The club-first alternative
Marketplace functionality, without marketplace dependency.
The real cost of a platform isn't just commission. It's who owns the player relationship, controls the customer journey, and benefits from the long-term network. We give clubs the modern booking and matchmaking experience players expect — while keeping the club at the centre.
Traditional marketplace
- Marketplace owns the player relationship
- Pricing and discounts shaped by the platform
- Players associate the booking with the app, not your club
- Limited visibility into your own customer data
RacketSync — club-first
- You own your players, pricing, and brand
- Transparent, predictable economics — no hidden surprises
- Premium booking and matchmaking under your club's roof
- Full data visibility on bookings, members and revenue
More control
Keep ownership of your players, pricing, and brand.
Transparent economics
Simple, predictable pricing with no hidden surprises.
Modern matchmaking
Calibrated ratings and smarter player matching that fills shoulder hours.
Built to grow with you
1.75% commission flat fee allows your club to grow by keeping more of the revenue.
New — refunds that don't leave you out of pocket
We absorb Stripe's processing fee on every refund.
When a card payment is refunded, Stripe doesn't return its own processing fee — leaving most venues slightly negative on every cancellation. RacketSync now transfers the proportional Stripe fee back to your connected account from our platform balance on every refund we initiate, so a full court-share refund nets you £0 instead of a small loss. Applies to direct court cancellations, joiner self-serve cancels, and auto-cancelled matchmaker games. On system-caused cancels (unfilled games, expired proposals, club cancellations, seat resales) we also refund the £0.79 platform fee to the player, so the customer is made fully whole — no awkward support tickets landing in your inbox.
Worked example
- Player paid
- £10.17
- Court share refunded
- £9.38
- Stripe fee on charge
- £0.53
- RacketSync reimburses you
- +£0.53
- Club net impact
- £0.00
No action required — reimbursement happens automatically the moment a refund is issued.
Worked example
- 1. Two of four paid. A doubles matchmaker slot has 2 confirmed players and the deadline is closing in.
- 2. RacketSync offers the switch. Both paid players get a prompt to move onto a singles court at the same time.
- 3. Price drops, refund auto-issues. The difference between the doubles share and the singles share is refunded straight back to their card — with your Stripe fee reimbursed, so your net is unchanged.
- 4. Court stays booked. Instead of two refunds and an empty slot, you keep the revenue on a singles court.
Booking retention — doubles-to-singles rescue
Half-full doubles become paid singles — not a refund.
When a doubles matchmaker session doesn't fill, RacketSync now offers the two paid players a switch onto a singles court at the same time. The price drops, the difference is refunded automatically, and your court stays booked. No support ticket, no manual refund workflow, no empty slot. Combined with our Stripe-fee reimbursement, the venue nets exactly the singles-court price instead of two full refunds.

- Higher repeat-booking frequency from competitive players
- Rated games create fair, close matches players want to replay
- Results feed the social feed, driving organic club engagement

Court utilisation
Turn empty courts into full games.
Most UK clubs sit at 35–55% utilisation outside peak. Our Game Matchmaker pools your unsold slots with players who told us exactly when they're free — and only reserves the court once a full doubles or singles group is locked in.

Player memberships — your unfair advantage
We turn casual players into your regulars.
Pro (£6.95/mo) and Elite (£10.95/mo) memberships give serious players fee-free bookings and priority matchmaking — so they play more often, and they play at your club.
Higher booking frequency
Members have a fee-free allowance to use — they're incentivised to book more games each month, filling your shoulder hours.
Priority matchmaking
Elite and Pro members jump the queue in our matchmaker, so the most committed players are the easiest to slot into your open courts.
More reliable players
Members invest in their game. They show up, pay upfront, and have reliability scores on the line — fewer no-shows, cleaner sessions.
Memberships are funded by players, not clubs. You get the demand uplift at zero extra cost — and keep your standard commission on every booking they make.
— Simple pricing
One plan. One flat rate.
Club HQ is £250/month +VAT for a flat 1.75% +VAT on every booking, premium search placement and full analytics. No tiers, no upsells.
