Help

Common questions

Try these checks first. If the problem remains, give staff the booking reference and the exact message shown on screen.

Why can’t I select a court time?

The time is already booked, closed, outside operating hours, or temporarily held by another checkout. Choose another available time, court, or date.

Why can’t the booking be found?

Check the full reference and use the exact email entered during checkout. Both must belong to the same booking.

Payment succeeded, but the booking still looks pending.

Wait briefly, then check the booking again. Do not make a second payment unless the status page offers a new payment button. Contact staff if it stays pending.

Why is an admin button or page missing?

Your role may have view-only or no access to that workspace. Ask an owner to review Roles & Permissions; signing out and back in can also refresh changed access.

The QR scanner cannot use the camera.

Allow camera access in the browser and use a supported device. You can always enter the transaction or booking reference manually.

Can a cancelled paid booking be refunded here?

Cancellation does not automatically refund a payment. Staff must review and complete the refund through the approved payment process.

Ready to continue?

Return to booking or check an existing reservation.
