ManageCourtFeatures
Everything ManageCourt does, in one place.
Built for court sports from day one: tennis, padel, badminton, pickleball, squash and more. Here is every part of it, grouped by who uses it. Each one links to the page of the user guide that explains it in full.
For players
Booking that takes a minute, any time of day.
Players book on your website, logged in to their account. They see only what's free, know the price before they confirm, and hear from you in their own language.
Court first, then a free time
Any court or a favourite one. Court cards show the surface and how many free times are left; free times are grouped into morning, afternoon and evening.
Guide: The player experience →Choose the court after the time
With Any court, players pick a time first and then choose from the courts free at that moment.
Guide →Members, club list or guests
Add the other players by name: members, club-list players who agreed to be found, or guests. Every player in a booking is named.
Guide →The price, before confirming

It belongs to your site, not the other way round.
ManageCourt is a WordPress plugin. It fits into the site you already have and keeps everything in your own database.
Blocks and shortcodes
Court Booking, My Court Bookings and Locations blocks, or the [managecourt] shortcode, on any page. Each location gets its own page too.
Your theme's look
Booking pages use your theme's fonts and colours automatically, in block themes and classic themes.
Guide →WPML and Polylang
Translate locations, courts and email templates; every text in the plugin can be translated, and emails follow each recipient's language when your site has that translation.
Guide: Multilingual sites →WooCommerce, any gateway
Each booking gets its own order on WooCommerce's payment page. Courts are held while players pay; refunds are automatic where the gateway allows.
Guide →Consent and GDPR tools
Player search only with consent, defaults set by admins after confirming it; export and erase through WordPress's privacy tools; suggested policy text.
Guide: Privacy and GDPR →Kept on your site
Bookings and players stay in your WordPress database. Deactivating or deleting the plugin deletes nothing unless you choose to.
Guide: Settings →Sent in the background
Emails and reminders go out through the bundled Action Scheduler, so booking pages stay fast.
Guide →Like any plugin
While your licence is active, new versions appear in Dashboard → Updates, and automatic updates work.
