Why direct payments

Direct payments for sports clubs mean players pay by card at the moment of booking, straight into your own Stripe account. You stay the merchant of record, no-shows tend to fall, cash handling disappears, and you, not a platform, control payouts, refunds and disputes.

Because the money never passes through a marketplace wallet, there is no platform cut. Only Stripe's standard card fees apply, billed to your account, and RocketCourt charges 0% commission on a flat monthly fee. See how it fits the wider product on the club platform, or weigh it against the marketplace alternatives.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Your club's own Stripe account. You connect it during setup via Stripe Connect and remain the merchant of record. RocketCourt never holds your funds.

It tends to. Charging at booking with a clear free-cancellation window gives players a reason to turn up, and tends to reduce no-shows versus pay-on-arrival. A waitlist can refill any slots that free up.

RocketCourt charges 0% commission. Stripe's standard card fees apply and are billed by Stripe to your account, but no platform takes a cut of your bookings.

You issue full or partial refunds in one click from RocketCourt, processed in your own Stripe account, and the slot is automatically freed for rebooking. Your payments list shows taken, refunded and net.

A marketplace collects bookings into its own balance and pays you out later, minus commission. With direct payments the funds, the customer relationship and your branding stay with you, and the booking value is yours in full.
