Launch your booking website

The final checklist for sharing your CourtBeam booking link with players.

All club and organizer guides · Player help and FAQs

Choose Setup, Pre-live or Live

The owner manages launch access in Settings → Club details. Setup keeps the club available to staff while you prepare it. Pre-live admits staff and saved test phone numbers. Live removes that test-phone restriction.

Pre-live is optional. Both Start Pre-live and Go live use the setup requirements shown on this page; switching modes does not replace checking each activity yourself.

Resolve the setup requirements

  1. 1

    Confirm the club profile and enable the modules you need in Settings → Modules.

  2. 2

    Follow each missing-setup link in Club details. For court booking, check active courts, published rules, prices and a usable payment option. Make sure online bookings are enabled.

  3. 3

    For events, publish at least one complete event and check Accept registrations in Settings → Modules. An enabled Events module alone is not a launch test.

  4. 4

    Check your waiver, member access and payment connection where applicable.

Use Pre-live for a small test group

  1. 1

    Add Test phone numbers with country codes, one per line, and choose Save test numbers.

  2. 2

    Choose Start Pre-live and confirm. Ask testers to use those exact phone numbers for SMS sign-in.

  3. 3

    Use the player site to test a reservation or event registration, then check the corresponding staff record and payment status.

Real activityPre-live is an access restriction, not a payment sandbox. Bookings, club credit and card payments are real. Cancel test reservations and review any refund separately.

Go live

After activation you cannot return to the initial Setup state. You can switch between Live and Pre-live to restrict access again. Recheck availability whenever you enable another module or change its rules.

  1. 1

    In Settings → Club details, choose Go live and confirm the change.

  2. 2

    Open the player-site link with a phone number outside your test list. Confirm the intended activities are visible and bookable.

  3. 3

    Share the club link from Player site on your website and in member communications.
